Swedenborg was a scientist, philospher, theologian and mystic. This flying machine, about 32 feet wide by 24 feet high, had a basket for the operator at the center, used beating blades for propulsion and had landing gears. It was, essentially, the first flying saucer.
.
Twenty years after designing this machine, he became increasingly interested in spiritual matters and became determined to find a theory which would explain how matter related to spirit, how the soul was connected to the body.
.
In 1744, he began having strange dreams and visions. He kept a journal of 286 of these dreams, one of the first dream journals.

Flying in dreams, like the angels, has a spiritual dimension.
