Falling
A loosening of grip
What it often means
Falling does not always mean failing. More often it is the body of your dream learning to surrender something it has been gripping too tightly in waking life.
When it tends to appear
- When you have been over-controlling a situation
- During times of letting go — willingly or otherwise
- When you fear losing footing in a part of your life
Sit with these questions
- 1
What have you been holding too tightly?
- 2
Was the fall frightening, or strangely calm?
- 3
What might it feel like to release one small thing today?
