That 'Falling' Feeling.

[Shane]

Anyone else get that feeling when they are asleep. Where you fall of something in your Dream and you wake up feeling like you have actually been falling?

[Luke]

Yes. My dream is I fall off the edge of the pavement backwards. I wake up and it feels like im bouncing on my bed lol.

[Shane]

I had a wierd dream where I walked on some grass, thru some small trees and off the edge of a cliff. Woke up with my heart beating a mile a minute.

[CH3YYx]

I've had a dream where i fell down the stairs then when i woke up i was on the floor :| lol. I dont know how i ended up on the floor but never mind lol.

[CH3YYx]

[Mikhael]

[NATAL!E]

Haha. I do that all the time.

I once remember a flash of light and the side of a black car, as it 'hit' me. And I jumped at the impact and woke up like O__O.

I hate it when things fall on you in your sleep, or your bed slats fall through. Wakes you up with a bloody surprise. lol.

[PrincessAlice]

[Lindsay]

[4ngel]

[CraigYohn!]

Its supposed to be where you stop breathing in your sleep, then you jerk (no not slamming the salami before anyone lol's at it) forward, sometimes off the edge of your bed lol

[jay.D]

yea i get that feeling too. feels like you're falling backwards then suddenly you wake up and you get a jolt and bounce on your bed. its fun but kinda annoying at the same time. fun cuz i like the feeling. kinda annoying cuz i wanna sleep but the adrenaline;s flowing.

[!Jazzy!]

Yes. My dream is I fall off the edge of the pavement backwards. I wake up and it feels like im bouncing on my bed lol.


Thats exactly what happens to me! and its sooooooo freaky, you actually feel like your gonna fall straight through the bed into a deep hole!

[Arronp2011]

i've had a dream where it was just black and i just continue to fall until i wake up .

[unloved__x3]

I hate that feeling :(
I always dream that I fall of my bed but the drop is like 1000 ft and it takes me ages to reach the bottem, its wierd.

[buthy-13]

Fall

To dream that you fall and not frightened, signifies that you will overcome your adversities with ease.
To dream that you fall and are frightened, denotes a major struggle and overwhelming problem in your life. It may denote that you have failed to achieve a goal that you have set forth for yourself.
To see someone fall, signifies your secret desire for the downfall or even death of that person. You will triumph over your enemies.

[FOZZYWIG]

omg i get that all the time .. its very weird ..... i usually have it when im not quite asleep thou when im just bout to drop off while thinkin bout fallin or jumping or running or riding/fallin off my horse ... i dunno

its weird and can be annoyin ....


also if i have been on a swing or trampoline during the day it feels like im on it whn im in bed ... i dunno its pschological lol

[Buttons93]

I get it too often haha it's when I'm very nearly asleep..

[Sneaky]

I've had dreams where I've felt like I was falling and when I wake up it feels like I "fall" onto something hard.

[Jyt]

If I don't sleep for a while I get similar stuff, but I wake up on impacting whatever i fall into and my leg is always twitching like mad. actually kicking out uncontrollably

[Lozzie--x]

I get this nearly every night lol
Sometimes if im laid next to the edge of the bed and i jump i fall off the bed =[ not good lmao

(shane's probably going to laugh at me now haha)

[Sweetest.x.Sin]

I have those dreams ever so often.
I wake up right before I hit the ground. They say you die if you actually hit the ground in your dream, but I'm not sure I believe that. But then again, I've never reached the ground to see if it's true.

[Ajay]

yeahhh this always happens. i hate it. so friggen scary lol

[Dann]

yerh that ithe best feeling,cept ill be dreaming of like nothing related to falling then wake up to me rolling off my bed haha qiute a shocker...
also does anybody ever wake up and is not able to move for about 15 seconds - to a minute,itsthe creepyest thing ever

[Richiecroft]

i think "floating" is something to do with thinking logically whilst we sleep! Where our brains start to "wake up" so to speak, or "activate" lol. Our bodies are like computers, can be turned on or off, and we rest lol.

[Neek]

Haha, I do it all the time. You wake up just at the point where it seems like you hit the floor but you hit your bed.. I was wonderign if I actually stand up and back bounce onto my bed lol.

Wel if you're still wrapped in your duvet, I doubt it.

[Ashley1994]

Omg I hate it when I have those falling dreams....I dont kno how I fall but I do..then it makes me jump and then I wake up but when I wake up I kinda feel sick...like I was actually falling..and yes it is very creepy when you see yourself die...I have had dreams where I fall and see myself die...and I get murdered....very scary.

[dancingradi0]

When I dream, I usually notice it, and I have somewhat of control over it, so when I fall in dreams, I usually jump and wake up. It's sort of funny for me...

[kiahrose31]

i always have those dreams where you jolt awake but can never remember what the dream was.
i also have those ones where you throw your arm out to break a fall and you wake up because you've jst thrown out your arm.

[sabrina]

i seldom get dreams like that. But when I do,i don't know why, but i don't feel scared at all .. instead, i feel carefree. Is that weird or what?

I think 'falling' dreams just mean an indication of insecurities, instabilities, and anxieties. You are feeling overwhelmed and out of control in some situation in your waking life. This may reflect the way you feel in your relationship or in your work environment.
When you fall, there is nothing that you can hold on to. You more or less are forced toward this downward motion without any control. This lost of control may parallel a waking situation in your life.

Falling dreams also often reflect a sense of failure or inferiority in some circumstance or situation. It may be the fear of failing in your job/school, loss of status, or failure in love. You feel shameful and lack a sense of pride. You are unable to keep up with the status quo or that you don't measure up.

I spent 3 weeks on this in Psychology last year, I'm surprised i remember it ¬.¬

[Glamour_Love]

I'm so glad I've read this thread, I thought I was the only one who had this. I get it mostly when I'm having a bad dream but sometimes out of nowhere too, I hate it :(

Edit: Just read Luke's post, very interesting and I think it would explain alot if that is the reason behind the 'falling'.

[chocolatepocky]

Not when I'm dreaming, but it has happened as I'm falling off to sleep. Suddenly I feel like I'm falling and my entire body wakes up with this horrible jolt. Unpleasant :(

[-Luke-]

I have to say, i love your avatar, lol.
