I want to make a flex of 4ft x 8ft but in 300dpi the PSD file size is around 9.8GB. What to do in order to reduce file size?

What does this have to do with InDesign?

But why in the world do you need 300 ppi for something that large? You could probably get away with 25 ppi and still have it look good from the distance it will be viewed at.

Well, 25 ppi might be fine. You need to get specific advice from your print service provider, it depends on the print technology, viewing distance and other factors.
