Recurring dreams plague us all — and dreams we are falling are the most common (and often terrifying). In fact, ‘falling dream meaning’ searches have surged by 179 per cent.
We spend around two hours every night dreaming and despite the fact many of us don’t ever recall our dreams, considering that nearly one-third of our life is spent snoozing, overlooking our dreams might mean we’re missing vital information and insight into our own subconscious. Unlocking our dreams and their meaning can be revelatory and a brilliant way of analysing and dealing with our deepest woes.
As we head into a new year, ThePleasantDream, one of the leading websites on dream interpretation, decided to delve into the most-searched dreams on falling — and debunk their meaning.
Indeed, during the course of their study, they observed a surge of 179 per cent in ‘falling dream meaning’ hits on Google so it seems a lot of you out there are having some lucid dreams about plummeting through the air.
So what exactly do falling dreams mean? According to Dr. Nereida Gonzalez-Berrios, MD, reviewer and certified psychiatrist of ThePleasantDream: «Every dream we see has a symbolic meaning that aligns with our current events of the waking life, and falling dreams are no exception. Dreams about falling are common and reflect feelings of insufficiency, weakness, and insecurity. ”
Sound like you? Delving into more detail, Dr. Nereida Gonzalez-Berrios added: «Falling dreams may highlight your loss of control over certain situations. It also denotes missing something in life, further causing emotional distress and suffering. Your dream means that you are in a state of terror and anxiety. So, this dream could remind you to wake up, work hard, and resolve the repressed issues of your waking life and regain the lost control. ”
If you keep dreaming of falling, think about your waking life and whether you feel supported or not. Or do you feel a loss of control due to current stress and confusion? Your dreaming mind wants you to take time out to pause and regroup. Pay attention to how you feel when you are falling. If you feel content, then perhaps you just need to trust in yourself more and go with the flow.
Sweet dreams.
