Many people have dreamed that they have hit bottom in a fall and they are still alive to tell the story! Falling is a common theme, which often indicates that in your real life you are feeling a little out of control and insecure. You may be experiencing a lack of support and grounding. In your waking life you may be feeling unsupported, unsafe or weighed down. The circumstances of the fall in the dream are important to notice. Were you pushed or did you jump willingly? Could it point to a situation in real life where you are trying to escape something, someone or a situation that you either cannot cope with or don't wish to face?
The place of falling is also important. If you are ina falling dream, do you clutch onto something to break your fall or do you close your eyes and fall direclty below? If you can control your landing in a fall and perhaps hqave a soft landing, it could mean that your crisis in real life might not be as difficult as you imagined.
The sensation of falling in your dream is one of the most common dreams and one that we all have at some stage in our lives, usually at a time when we are feeling insecure and lacking in confidence. It's a typical anxiety dream that suggests our sense that we have no control. It has been interpreted as a dream of sexual surrender, where the fall and landing symbolise sexual intersourse. It also stands for the fear of failing - whethe through 'falling into temptation', 'falling from grace' or letting ourselves and other people down'. Falling is also associated with isolation and the need to feel supported, especially if the dreamer is feeling misunderstood or not accepted for who he or she is.
Sometimes a majority only means that all the fools are on the same side
