Falling dream: meaning and interpretation
Falling dreams often relate to insecurity, loss of control, or big transitions — but they can also signal letting go.
Falling dreams can be startling and are common during times of change. They often reflect uncertainty, instability, or fear of "not being able to hold it together."
How you fall matters: falling from a height, slipping, being pushed, or drifting. The emotion — panic, calm, relief — can shift the meaning.
Sometimes, falling is about surrender: releasing control, accepting change, or allowing yourself to rest.
Common themes
