Garuda 
To see the Garuda flying high in your dream means your current state of freedom and you're reaching for higher consciousness in life.
If you're in any way related to Hinduism, it indicates your strong connection to the spiritual world.
Flying
To dream of flying usually represents liberation from something in your waking life that had been 'holding you down' lately. Think back to the details of your surroundings before you took off. They can hint as to what you were trying to escape from.
You could've been atop the building of a school, which could represent academic achievements or a freedom of stress from work-related issues.
You could just as well have taken flight from the peak of a mountain, which would suggest the time-consuming defeat of an obstacle in your life. But where you came from is just as important as where you were going. So where were you going? The possibilities are endless. If you were simply soaring through the sky, this could be the beginning of a spiritual journey.
In Christianity, the sky holds the Heavens where the good would go to be one with the Father after they were separated from their bodies on Earth. In other religions, the sky is home to the Gods. Thus in dreams, to enter into the sky is to gain a sort of soulful knowledge, whether it is about yourself or about the world in general. This is generally a very good dream. To dream of flying peacefully into the sun is even better, possibly a good fortune is coming your way.
If you were not flying solely of your own accord, the thing which carried you will reveal more about your predicament. Perhaps you were in an airplane. This can suggest that your vast knowledge and mechanical skills were taking you to where you were headed. If you were riding a sort of creature on the other hand, like a dragon for instance, you must then look to the nature of the animal. Dragons are fierce, strong and wise. Therefore, you were 'riding' on these instincts or qualities in this situation.
Dreams of flying are always joyous ones. They foretell change, transformation and success. This is why they are so common. Everyone goes through phases in their life. Nothing ever stays the same all the time. Use them as a sign of good fortune and push on, knowing that you'll soon be 'flying high'.
