"Many
times, as I'm going to sleep, I dream that I am walking
along the road and suddenly trip up and fall towards
the pavement. I always wake up before I hit the ground.
Why do I dream this?" J.H- London
Dreams
about falling usually occur as you're "falling
off" to sleep. They may be triggered by a drop
in blood pressure, a movement of the fluid in the
middle ear, or a limb dangling off the side of the
bed.
Some
psychologists believe that these are archaic memories
from the time when we were tree-dwelling monkeys.
The ape-men that survived their fall passed on their
genes with the memory of the event. The dead ones
didn't. And that's why so often you dream of falling
but of never hitting the ground.
As
a symbol, falling highlights a loss of emotional equilibrium
or self-control. You may fear "letting go"
in real life. Anxiety usually accompanies this dream.
It may represent your insecurity, a lack of self-confidence,
a fear of failure or an inability to cope with a situation.
There could also be a literal interpretation. You
may have noticed something unsafe- a loose stair rail,
wobbly ladder or insecure window. Check it out. The
dream may be a warning.
ASK
YOURSELF:
1.
Am I over ambitious? Perhaps you have 'climbed above
your station' and experiencing the 'pride before a
fall'. You may have to lower your sights somewhat
and set yourself more realistic goals.
2.
Do I fear letting go? The dream may be urging you
to stop resisting an impulse from the unconscious.
The psychologist Strephon Kaplan-Williams suggests
that you should relive the dream in your imagination
and let the fall complete itself. In this way you
find out what is frightening you. You 'get to the
bottom' of the problem.
