📖
Not a dangerous fall; letting oneself fall gently. Sexual connotation, as in Falling, Brook, and Leaf. You are letting yourself glide through the air, which symbolizes an associative, creative, and playful intellect. 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.”

📖
A parachute is a structure that uses air resistance to slow down the pace at which an object falls to the earth. Falling is a symbol of control, or more accurately the lack of it.
A parachute then is the element of safety added so that you can surrender more thoroughly to something of which you have no control.

📖
If a parachute opens as you fall, this may express your relief following a dangerous event, such as a car accident that you survived. Alternatively, it could suggest the need to bail out of a difficult situation, as a parachute offers a safe way to fall rather than a means to fly.
