Falling in a dream
Falling is one of the most common dreams and is read as letting go after tension, with nothing bad behind it.
Almost everyone has dreamed of falling and woken with a start. In folk belief it means you have loosened your grip on something: you are letting go of control, resting from a worry, or growing. Elders used to tell children that you fall in dreams when you are growing. Falling from a height is read as a big plan that excites you, and a soft landing as a happy outcome. This dream is said to carry no warning; it only shows that your day was a full one.
