Fall

A very common dream action generally symbolic of some basic fear in the dreamer’s life, such as fear of a moral lapse, job failure, sexual inadequacy, loss of status, etc.

; however, the prophetic meaning of this dream is, strangely, very similar in that it indicates setbacks but modified by the details of its action.

If, in your dream, you fell a long distance, you can expect the reverses to be general and fairly severe; however, if you landed without hurting yourself, they will be upsetting but quite temporary.

If you hurt yourself, you should be prepared to endure some real hardships for a time.

To fall from a medium height signifies a loss of prestige; to fall to the floor (as from a standing or sitting position) is a warning of danger from false friends.

If your dream involved others falling, it indicates triumph over enemies; and if you fell but got up again, you will overcome the obstacles in your path.

To fall into water means financial stress, but the water factor and condition must also be considered.

Dreams of falling symbolize a feeling of loss of control, a lack of confidence, and that you are loosing your step as a result of not having your feet firmly planted on the earth. This dream symbolizes that you are overwhelmed with the events in your life. Also, falling can also be symbolic of surrendering your control to something or someone more powerful than your own.

If your dream is set in or about the season of fall, see Autumn.
