Falling In Dreams

By Jurell Green

Dreams of falling are by far one of most common dreams we experience, yet is one of the most feared type of dream. This type of dream can be as simple as falling out of bed or it can be as extreme as falling from a building, mountain, ladder, cliff or out of a airplane with no parachute, to name just a few.

Regardless of how high the dreamer falls from in the dream, the dream experience is generally extremely terrifying because of the dreamer's complete lost of control in the dream experience, which is often accompanied by the fear or possibility of dying or getting hurt in the dream. As a result, the dreamer often wakes up afraid, hyperventilating, filled with anxiety, sweating, struggling for breath, with their heart pounding as if their heart is about to explode right out of their chest.

Most Often Causes Of Falling Dreams

Although there are many reason why a person experiences dreams of falling, the most common seem to be: guilt, fear of a situation, problem, crisis or dilemma the dreamer is experiencing in the natural where they have little or no control over or answers for. As a result, the individual is generally suffering feelings of helplessness both physically and emotionally in the natural and in their dream states, often opening the chance for experiencing a dream of falling a near falling down type of dream.

The depth and emotional stress caused by the falling dream as a rule is determined by the severity of the fear, guilt, situation, problem, crisis or dilemma the dreamer is experiencing in the natural in their awake state.

Although Falling Dreams are most often the result of a loss of power, fear, guilt or no control, there is yet another factor that often plays into the psyche of the dreamer's dream equation, and that is self punishment. It is not uncommon for a dreamer, because of a loss of power, control and guilt to subconsciously try to punish themselves in their dream state because they believe either consciously or subconsciously that they are responsible and should carry the blame of others for the events occurring in their lives.

Other Causes Of Falling Dreams

A rebellious stance, fearing repercussions of a situation, doubts, confusion, possible betrayal, lies, deceptions, indecision and blindness of going into denial about a truth add to the reasons for having falling dreams. Also represented by falling dreams are insecurity in your marriage, a relationship, family, career, workplace and finances.

In some cases, Falling Dreams will also be the result of an inferiority or inadequacy the dreamer has or feels he has in regards to the dreamer's marriage, relationships, career or workplace that is causing the dreamer to feel he cannot measure up to the challenge he perceives is demanded of him.

Environment, emotions and circumstances can also cause dreams of falling because of shame, sorrow, lack of confidence, and lack of self pride the dreamer feels in himself in regards to his life and accomplishments. And because of these feelings of separation, disillusionment and discouragement, the dreamer feels that he is looked down on or is not or will not be included with others.

To the Christian, falling most often represents and is symbolic of a sin nature or a demonic attack on finances, career, workplace or a family member through others.
