Falling dreams are another theme that is quite common in the world of dreams. Contrary to a popular myth, you will not actually die if you do not wake up before your hit the ground during a fall.

As with most common dream themes, falling is an indication of insecurities, instabilities, and anxieties. You are feeling overwhelmed and out of control in some situation in your waking life. This may reflect the way you feel in your relationship or in your work environment. You have lost your foothold and can not hang on or keep up with the hustle and bustle of daily life. When you fall, there is nothing that you can hold on to. You more or less are forced toward this downward motion without any control. This lost of control may parallel a waking situation in your life.

Falling dreams also often reflect a sense of failure or inferiority in some circumstance or situation. It may be the fear of failing in your job/school, loss of status, or failure in love. You feel shameful and lack a sense of pride. You are unable to keep up with the status quo or that you don't measure up.

According to Freudian theory, dreams of falling indicate that you are contemplating giving into a sexual urge or impulse. You maybe lacking indiscretion.

Falling dreams typically occur during the first stage of sleep. Dreams in this stage are often accompanied by muscle spasms of the arms, legs, and the whole body. These sudden contractions, also known as myclonic jerks. Sometimes when we have these falling dreams, we feel our whole body jerk or twitch and we awaken from this jerk. It is thought that this jerking action is part of an arousal mechanism that allows the sleeper to awaken and become quickly alert and responsive to possible threats in the environment.

According to biblical interpretations, dreams about falling have a negative overtone and suggest that man is acting and walking according to his own way of thinking and not those of the Lord.

No, don't worry about it. Once over a cliff, you are no longer in control, of anything. It is revelation, that in many ways ~ you are not in control.

Sorry, I am not trying to force my views, but just reflecting on what I know for myself, as I see It. I had constant dreams, especially when I was going over material about dream interpretation.

God loves to put us in situations, in this life, that are much bigger than we are. Much like the mountain. What do people generally do that fall off a cliff, other than call out to Him.

Water is a sign of the spirit of God, constantly threw scripture. Don't be affraid, you are in good company. All those that had visions of God, in whatever fashion - recorded,............ freaked out!!!

TAKE THE PLUNGE, BABY!!! once you are in, you'll realize that He's much better than you have deemed posible. Life is too. especially when you settle into the fact that He leads you, and the blessings you will enjoy, exceed your capacity to get there.

It's natural to fear. Don't sweat it.........May you enjoy them now.

Hey Oz, Be careful, things can get cloudy in this area. Depending on the spiritual orientation, things can be interpreted, radically different. A snake in a dream can be healing, Jesus made a comparison of himself and a snake held up in the desert, During the Exodus. The medical symbol of a snake coiled around a stick refers to the same.

Falling for example, To a "Demonic" perspective, is bad. It is out of control.
To a Christian It can represent the same but have a critical difference.
It's kind of like a death, often referred to. We must die to our control to enjoy the fullness that he has for us. We keep control to our own harm.

One of Jesus' hard sayings "if a man losses his life, he will keep it, But Whoever keeps his life, will lose it".

Look, you remember 3 dreams that stood out. 3 is the number for God - in scripture. That is not irrelevant. The spirit of God wastes nothing.

Something else....Rat poison is only 5% poison by volume. Somethings might sound right but,.It''s that 5% that Kills.......
... DON'T let a Demon prophecy over you. If you agree It gives them entitlements. Jesus often, forbid them to speak.

This guys been spewing his poison a long time. I question.......its not a who but, a what, and how many.

ive had many falling dreams, but only once did i actually crash. few months ago had a dream i was in a car with a few of my friends, and we drove off a huge cliff. hit the ground with a thud, and i woke up then with a feeling of schock throughout my body.

[Its a Plant]

I heard somewhere to when you die in your dream, depending on how you actually died, people can have heart attacks in their sleep b/c the shock of their own death was too much for them. Like when your falling off a cliff, and you usuall wake up right before you hit, only in your dream you hit the bottom.

I don't even know if that's true, but it sure is interesting.

From everything I've ever read about dream interpretation, PureEvil certainly hit the nail on the head. You're feeling out of control somehow and like you may be at risk of something bad happening. If you've been stressed, that makes sense.
