Dreams of falling are very common and are usually connected with one's fears and anxieties in the waking life. If you see yourself falling from a high altitude and you are very frightened by this, it means that you lack control, security, stability and steadiness. Also, you have a low self-esteem and you lack self-confidence. You should become more self-aware and not let yourself overwhelmed and overcome by fear and anxiety. Acting this way will only slow you down and prevent you from achieving your goals. Try to correctly evaluate and appreciate your skills and resources if you want to be able to use your full potential in an enterprise.

Falling dreams which frighten you may also illustrate a failure, loss or decline which has taken place in your waking life.

To fall from high altitudes in dreams may also be a warning that you should strive to achieve a general balance and equilibrium in your waking life if you wants to attain your goals and lead a fulfilled life.

Consequently, whether you wake up before or after you hit the ground and die in the falling dream, you should not interpret it as a premonitory dream which announces your death. Instead, try to look deep down yourself and find the strength to overcome all obstacles, to increase the confidence in yourself and to become more aggressive and determined when it comes to achieving your goals.

On the other hand, falling dreams which do not frighten you bear a positive significance and foretell fortunate and happy events to follow in your waking life, good luck, prosperity and fruitful business and relationships.

There are also those dreams in which one sees himself free-falling through water. Taking into account the fact that water is the main dream symbol for human subconscious, for primitive drives and emotions hidden deep down ourselves, a dream of free-falling through water usually relates to feeling emotionally overwhelmed.
