Falling dreams are another theme that is quite common. Contrary to the popular
myth, you will not actually die should you fail to wake up before your hit the
ground during a fall.
As with most common dream themes, falling is an indication of insecurity,
instability, anxiety and issues concerning your pride. The act of falling suggests
that you feel overwhelmed and out of control in some situation in your waking life.
This may reflect the way you feel in your relationship or in some business endeavour.
You have lost your foothold and can not hang on or keep up with the hustle and
bustle of daily life.
Falling dreams also often reflect a sense of failure or inferiority in a circumstance
or situation. It may be the fear of failing in your job/school, loss of status,
or failure in love. You feel you cannot keep up with your social circle or that
you don't measure up.
According to Freudian theory, dreams of falling indicate that you are contemplating
giving into a sexual urge.
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 are 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.
