Not a dangerous fall; letting oneself fall gently. Sexual connotation, as in Falling, Brook, and Leaf.

This dream symbol also points to more general situations where you are letting yourself go, and you will like it. When in fear of Flying, the parachute usually does not open.

Parachutes obviously represent a means of escape from a dangerous situation. In a dream, a parachute could refer to our coping mechanisms, or it could refer to bailing out of a difficult predicament. Alternatively, some people sky dive for fun, so parachuting in a dream could refer to thrill-seeking or a sense of total freedom. Also note the idiom “golden parachute.”
