What is the meaning of falling dreams?

In a dream, falling symbolizes the movement from the inner higher levels of consciousness where dreams occur, toward the outer, lower levels of conscious-the physical. There is an old wives tale which says that if you dream that you are falling and you hit bottom, you will die. This is not true. Falling symbolizes the mental action of returning to awake consciousness, therefore at the time the dreamer would "hit bottom" he-she usually awakes and the dream images are no longer present.

With knowledge and practice, individuals can learn how to move in and out of the inner levels of consciousness at will. Individuals can pursue studies that will aid them to develop this skill so they can access the considerable wisdom in the inner levels of their own consciousness.
