What does it mean to dream of falling?

A dream in which you fall is one of the most common, and it usually reflects a fear of losing control and support. It often mirrors anxiety, a fear of failure, or the feeling that you are "losing your footing" in some area of life. Such dreams frequently occur during periods of stress, change, increased workload, or when you have taken on more than you feel you can handle. A sudden fall with a physical jerk upon waking is a common physiological phenomenon during sleep onset and carries no special meaning. Honest framing: this is an image of your sense of support and control, not a prediction. It is helpful to ask yourself: where am I currently afraid of "falling" or losing stability?
