Reflect on the context of dreaming about falling

How does this drop happen? Where does the fall come from? Who falls? What sensations and emotions accompany this fall? Does the dreamer suddenly wake up after such an image? Where does the fall end?

Am I stressed and tense to the point where I can’t relax even when I can? How do I see and deal with the depressed and deep movements I encounter? What needs to lose importance in my life?

Understand possible applications of dreaming about falling:

Dreaming of falling from somewhere

Dreams in which the dreamer sees himself falling from somewhere, be it an abyss, stairs, mountain, etc., and wakes up suddenly with a start, may indicate that the transit from consciousness to the unconscious happened too quickly and needs to be resumed. . It may also indicate a deep relaxation of previously tense muscles, with muscle spasms accompanied by the image of the fall, which is interrupted in order to preserve the dreamer and adequately reorganize this deepening in the unconscious.

Dreaming of violent falls

A violent or fatal fall in a dream may indicate that the dreamer has high expectations in some sphere of his life, without having the proper emotional resources to support his own desire, being unable to succeed in his attempts.

It may also be a warning for the dreamer to transform his conscious attitude and adjust his expectations to prevent an oppositional movement in objective life.

Dreaming of falling objects or other people

In dreams of falling objects or other people, it is essential to analyze which symbol is falling.

Fall types represent different meanings

The fall is the certainty of gravity, the certainty that we are connected and grounded. A fall can be an accident, but it can also be intentional, and this data in a dream is important. It is different from throwing yourself, being pushed or accidentally falling in a dream, and each of these actions enriches your understanding of the falling symbol.

In the collective imagination, the fall is always a negative symbol, but from a psychic point of view, the fall can be a necessary symbol of alert to the dreamer.
