RE: Dreams of falling

Apparently, falling is one of the most frequent experiences in dreams. It indicates some kind of loss, especially love or money matters.

If you dream of falling out of bed, this indicates that you are highly sensitive to your environment and the behaviour of others, while falling into something unpleasant such as a dung-heap indicates new prospects at work.

Dreams about falling and flying have been given a wide variety of explanantions in the past, many of them very basic physical ones related to sexual desire, circulation problems, skin sensitivity, and even eye problems.

The interpretation most frequently given is a sexual one. Flying has been seen as a sign of sexual potency and falling as an indicator of limited potency. Dreams among teenagers which involve flying have been analysed and a correlation has been established beyween this type of dream and an increase in sexual dersire. Here, flying is a kind of boast, a display of sexual powers.

Freud stated that for women, falling was a sign of resistance melting when they were confronted with the opposite sex. Studies have shown that it is more common to dream about falling than flying, and that young children rarely dream about flying, if ever.

Dreams about Falling are often seen by experts as expressions of a need to let oneself go and enjoy life more, and stem from a feeling of isolation. It is quite often the case that the more you succeed in life the more isolated you feel from your fellow human beings. The need to preserve that status that you have reached often obscures the need for basic human contact. Not surprisingly, this type of dream is particularly common among successful professional men and women, as though making up for part of their lives which is missing.

Dreams about falling can be seen as unfulfilled desire for support and affection: this might be felt particularly by a child away from the warmth and comfort of home, or an adult living in a situation where they do nto feel understood or accepted.

Hope this helps.

RE: Dreams of falling

Hi Steve,

Funnily enough this subject came up in our Reiki share group and we came to the conclusion that could the dream of falling be connected with us coming back into our body after an OB? The sense of falling coupled with the 'jump' that wakes us up could fit this description do you think?

Love and light
