Falling

Dreams where you're falling — from a building, cliff, or the ground disappears beneath you. Often you wake just before landing, sometimes with a physical jolt.

Variations

  • Falling from a building
  • The ground disappearing under your feet
  • Falling slowly, almost floating
  • Falling and never landing
  • Watching someone else fall
