Dream interpretation
If you dream of flying with wings, it may indicate a journey ahead. Wings can also represent your children. Seeing feathered wings might symbolize your prosperity or power. The presence of wings in your dream reflects your freedom and aspirations, suggesting new horizons in your life.
Ibn Sirin
Wings — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Wings" (page 478).
If one sees himself flying with wings in a dream, it means travel. Wings in a dream also represent one's children. If one sees his wings feathered, this could represent his prosperity or authority. If someone sees himself flying with someone else's wings in the dream, it means that he will receive his help and support. In that sense, traditional people say: "So and so flew with so and so's wings." Having wings and not using them to fly with in a dream means acquiring worldly wealth. A broken wing in a dream represents a severe illness one's son may attract. If one experiences the excruciating pain from his wings being pulled off his shoulders in a dream, it may mean the death of his son. A wing that does not allow one to fly in a dream means a wound or a permanent scar in one's life that will slow his progress. It also could represent a punishment for one's sins.

Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
