What Does Dreaming of Falling Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
In traditional interpretation and according to Ibn Sirin, falling in a dream may mostly point to a loss of position, reputation, or wealth, and to a possible decline in one's current situation. Yet the nature of the landing place changes the reading: falling onto green, well-watered, or beautiful ground can herald a passage from a troubled state to a better one.
Psychological View
In modern psychology and in the approaches of Freud and Jung, falling dreams are most often associated with the fear of losing control, insecurity, and repressed anxiety. This dream may be reflecting uncertainties in one's work, relationships, or private life, and the worry of losing one's footing.
