Why do people dream of falling

Why does 'falling' in dreams happen?

Why does falling in dreams happen? You can be drifting off to sleep and then the feeling that you are falling suddenly brings you back to reality. Do other people experience this?

Madeleine Walmsley, Surrey, UK

Over the past few years, I have experienced “sleep falling”, and subsequently waking up abruptly, on several occasions. Having explored sleep science as part of my undergraduate degree, as well as finding that many others also “fall” in their sleep, it appears that you and I are not alone or weird in experiencing this.

The feeling is triggered by an involuntary muscle movement called a hypnic jerk that occurs when the body is in the transitional stage between wakefulness and light sleep, known as the hypnagogic state.

When the body enters a state of deep relaxation in preparation for sleep, this sensation can be misinterpreted by the brain as the body falling and therefore being in danger. So the hypnic jerk knocks you back into full consciousness. One proposed explanation for the link between “falling” and experiencing a hypnic jerk in the hypnagogic state is that it is a reflex that improved the chances of survival for our ancestors.

Experiencing hypnic jerks isn’t considered to be abnormal or a cause for concern, but it can be exacerbated by the consumption of stimulants as well as by stress. This is why people might experience this strange but harmless sensation at particularly stressful points in their life.

Steve Jacques, Head of anatomy, Leicester Medical School, UK

I get asked this one quite a bit when I’m teaching neuroscience to medical students. My hypothesis is that it is related to the shutting down of the sensory system as we go through the stages of sleep.

While awake, we are normally aware of the effect of gravity. For example, sitting writing this answer, I am conscious of the pressure of the chair on my bottom, as well as the fact that I can see that objects are orientated correctly along an up-down axis. Furthermore, my inner ear uses gravity to provide constant input about the position of my head.

While falling asleep, a crucial sensory relay station deep in the brain known as the thalamus becomes inhibited. The thalamus is the pathway through which sensations become conscious. If the brain doesn’t receive information on the direction gravity is acting, it may conclude that there must be no force pushing back against the body from the floor (or our bed). This is consistent with weightlessness or free fall.

Matt Chamings, Barnstaple, Devon, UK

One reason why the sensation of falling causes us to wake suddenly might be because our distant ancestors lived in trees. Falling out of a tree is a serious health risk and falling asleep is a critical time when it is more likely to occur, as the body relaxes and shifts position. A defence mechanism that wakes the sleeper when this begins to happen would be a distinct survival trait that could be passed on to future generations. Even though we no longer sleep in trees, the mechanism might still be at work in the form of dreams about falling.

Vittoria Dessi, Surmulins, Switzerland

Whatever the cause, the phenomenon is certainly widespread. The ancient Greeks believed that Hades’s army of oneiroi, Greek for dream demons, were responsible for delivering both visions and nightmares. They liked to play tricks on mortals by making them believe they were falling during dreams.

Medically reviewed by Timothy J. Legg, PhD, PsyD — By Ann Pietrangelo on October 12, 2020

There’s a rush of air on your face as you plunge over the edge into nothingness. You flail about, frantic for something to grab before you hit bottom, but there’s nothing — and no one — to save you. Terror consumes you as the bottom comes into view, and then, slam!

You wake up in bed. Your heart is beating too fast, but you’re safe. It was just a dream.

Not that it makes them any less disturbing, but dreams about falling are not uncommon. Read on as we take a close-up view of dreams about falling, what they could mean, and whether you can do anything about them.

There’s no scientific consensus as to the psychology behind dreams.

Studies show that certain dream themes, including falling, are common. Researchers theorize that this may reflect feelings of helplessness or rejection.

You can have a one-off dream of falling simply because you went hiking near a cliff or rolled too close to the edge of your bed. But dreaming of falling could mean that you feel:

insecure or unstable
inadequate or inferior
anxious
overwhelmed
out of control

If you frequently dream of falling, you may want to figure out why. Nightmares can sometimes be a sign of:

sleep disorders
anxiety
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Some specifics may matter.

Being pushed off a cliff could mean that you don’t feel secure with others or with unseen forces. Tripping and accidentally falling off a cliff might say that you lack self-confidence. Either way, things are out of control or you’re trying to hang on to something.

Dreaming that you parachuted out of an airplane or took a graceful dive into a safety net isn’t so scary. This could be a sign that you’re letting go of something negative or setting yourself free.

Other details may not matter as much as the prevailing emotions the dream provokes.

Co-creative dream theory suggests that how we respond to what happens in the dream provides more insight than individual details.

Certain objects, people, or events mean different things depending on your culture and personal history. Particular details of your dream may be significant enough in your experience to provide context for your dream.

When trying to understand your dreams, write down as many details as you can remember before they fade.

Then consider how people, places, and objects from the dream fit into your waking life. Try to zero in on the emotions you felt and what real-life events mirror those emotions.

Just as you’re about to hit the surface, your legs jerk and you wake up with a start, a motion that saves you from the fall. It’s a discombobulating way to wake up.

Hypnic jerks are sudden, involuntary muscle contractions that usually occur just as you’re falling asleep. It’s something that affects 60 to 70 percent of us.

The exact cause isn’t clear, but one symptom of a hypnic jerk is the sensation of falling.

Sometimes, there’s an overlap between hypnic jerks and dreams about falling. This phenomenon probably has more to do with your body falling asleep than your mind trying to tell you something.

Jerking awake from a falling dream feels like you’ve been saved. It also makes it more likely that you’ll recall this dream later. But you don’t have to fear not waking up. Hitting bottom or dying in a dream won’t kill you.

There’s not much scientific research to explain the meaning of a dream where someone else is falling.

It’s possible that you’re deeply concerned about someone you know whose life is spinning out of control. Or maybe you’re worried that someone is leaving you, emotionally or physically.

Think about the person in the dream and what they represent to you.

You can’t totally control your dreams. Falling dreams may be stress-related, so there are some things you can do to transition to a more peaceful sleep.

Cut back on caffeine.
Do breathing exercises or other relaxation techniques to wind down before going to bed.
Avoid emotionally stressful or physically strenuous activities in the hour before going to sleep.
Remove work-related items and electronic devices from the bedroom.
If you wake up and can’t go back to sleep, leave the bedroom and do something relaxing until you’re tired again.

Nightmares tend to occur during stressful periods. Your dreams about falling may stop as you work through your problems.

Research suggests that evaluating dreams can be therapeutically valuable. If dreams of falling don’t subside or they continue to trouble you during the day, you may benefit from therapy. A qualified mental health professional can help you deal with your dreams and manage the stress that triggers them.

Persistent nightmares can be a sign of prolonged stress, anxiety, or sleep disorders. If you can’t improve sleep on your own, talk to your doctor.

Whether you remember the dreams or not, you probably dream four to six times a night, mostly during the rapid eye movement (REM) stage of sleep. During REM sleep, your brainwaves are nearly as active as they are when you’re awake.

Dreams have no logic. Though they contain snippets of our daytime experiences, they’re random and nonsensical. They often have a surrealistic quality, especially when it comes to space and time.

Though many types of dreams are easily forgettable, it can be difficult to shake vivid dreams, such as those in which we fall.

Does dreaming have a purpose? Though there are many plausible theories as to why we dream, there’s a lot we can’t say for certain.

Dreams may help us form memories, work through problems, or help us practice various scenarios. Perhaps dreams serve multiple functions.

Science has yet to determine exactly why people dream or what specific dreams mean. Dreams about falling tend to occur as you fall asleep and sometimes coincide with involuntary muscle spasms.

There are some good theories about dreams and the emotions they convey. Because we’re all different, you should interpret the details of your dreams by what they mean to you personally.

Dreams about falling may reflect feelings of inadequacy or a sense that your life is out of control. Dealing with your stressors may encourage less frightening dreams.

Persistent nightmares may be due to an anxiety or sleep disorder. If dreams are affecting your physical or mental health, talk to your doctor.

Would you like to lie in bed for five minutes or fall asleep next to your work computer? No wonder, because today the world celebrates Sleep Day.

Some people sometimes need four hours of sleep, others need up to 12 hours, somnologists say.

"Sleep is important for our life. The fact is that during sleep our memory is formed. What we studied during the day passes into long-term memory. Daytime sleep is somewhat more superficial than nighttime. Sleep less than seven hours is considered insufficient effective," emphasizes doctor Pavel Kudinov.

What is the danger of lack of sleep

In ancient times, priests were engaged in the interpretation of dreams, after a while serious studies on the topic of dreams appeared. Psychiatrists Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung and psychoanalyst Erich Fromm tried to understand why people come to certain images.

Why dream of falling from a height

Many dream books on the World Wide Web claim that falling in a dream is a sign that something has gone wrong in life. People who fall in their sleep are advised to rethink their decisions or think about any changes.

"Instead of worrying about losing control, sometimes you just need to trust yourself and others. Let things happen naturally," advises psychologist Ian Wallace.

According to one theory, the feeling of falling in a dream can be associated with exertion and stress. Insomnia specialist Guy Meadows notes that the feeling of falling occurs because the brain distorts the natural relaxation of the muscles. Imitation makes you wake up in order to restore balance, the author concluded.

Why do you dream of teeth falling out

Psychologist Ian Wallace emphasizes that teeth are a symbol of self-confidence. In his opinion, teeth falling out in a dream can be a signal that something makes a person feel insecure.

According to another version, problems with teeth in a dream may be the result of problems with communication in real life.

What does nudity dream about

According to some dream books, nudity in a dream means fear of opening up in front of other people.

"Seeing yourself naked in a dream portends a scandal and generally unseemly deeds. Seeing others naked is a sign that ill-wishers will try to lead you astray," wrote in his book the American entrepreneur Gustav Miller, whose dream analysis has become widely popular.

University of California professor William Domhoff, who has devoted his life to the study of dreams, notes that "naked" dreams can indicate daily problems that torment a person.

How to prepare for sleep

People with good sleep have three simple steps to prepare, writes Guy Meadows.

First, 40-45 minutes before going to bed, you need to stop watching TV, listening to radio, music and talking on the phone.

Secondly, before going to bed you need to engage in quiet activities. For example, brush your teeth, drink a warm drink, prepare for the day ahead.

Thirdly, you can read a book or magazine, or talk to a loved one.

Preparing for bed, according to the author, will signal to the brain that "it's time to party."

Why dream of falling - the meaning of falling in a dream

Why dream of falling

Anyone who had to fall from a height in a dream will face losses. Most likely, you will lose your credibility in the workforce, lose in a lawsuit, find yourself on the list for dismissal, become a victim of scammers, or undermine your health. Frivolity and riskiness will accelerate the moment of the onset of adverse events.

Do not take any major steps in the near future. If you stumble, no one will lend you a helping hand.

Falling according to Miller's dream book

Falling in a dream and being very frightened at the same time promises you to overcome significant difficulties, the struggle with which will lead you to good luck.

If, having fallen, you are seriously injured, expect loss; it is possible that friends will leave you.

If you slip, it is a sign that you should postpone all risky activities for the time being.

Climbing up and falling from a height - suggests that the difficult task that you have undertaken or are about to undertake is unlikely to be within your power. Perhaps, before taking on it, it does not bother you to get a good rest.

A dream in which you have fallen out of bed - suggests that relaxation is inappropriate at the moment and can lead to serious trouble.

Falling on the run in a dream is a bad omen. This is a sign that you anticipate a very serious obstacle in your path, but do not know which side to expect it from. You should conduct your affairs with great care and caution.

Falling according to the dream book of Simon Kananit

As a rule, dreams about falls in which you are not a navigator, pilot or driver indicate that you feel helpless and therefore transfer control over control to someone else. A dream where you see yourself as the captain of the Titanic, and not just a passenger, may mean that you feel responsible and feel guilty for some of your actions that led to sad consequences.

To the rescue

So you're falling faster and faster. You are afraid that you might break. Are you afraid?

Usually a person wakes up before he falls to the foot of the cliff. Sometimes a collision is inevitable. Just last week you dreamed that you were driven into a narrow passage. You tripped over a trash can and fell through a sewer grate. Suddenly someone - yes, it's your cat! - came to your aid and pulled you out of there.

Falling according to the Worldly Dream Book

Basically, dreams about falling are associated with a loss of control over the situation and a feeling of helplessness. It is possible that our first steps as children and the many falls that come with it are related to our future dreams of falling.

There is also an assumption that they are an echo of the fear of primitive people before falling from trees. We know a woman whose father, when she was just a baby, every day, when he came home from work, would grab her and start tossing and twirling her over his head. And until now, the dreams of this fully grown woman, in which she flies or falls, are filled with a sense of fear, horror and admiration. Who (or what) will protect her from falling?

Falling according to the Modern Dream Book

There is a widespread prejudice that if in a dream we fall and fall to the ground, we will surely die soon. Nothing like this has ever happened in our practice. So why does this myth continue to exist?

Usually, if we start falling in a dream, we wake up immediately, because we have been taught that it is very dangerous to fall. Researchers know that falling dreams are common for people in the REM stage of the first sleep cycle—a little over an hour after you fall asleep. Those who fall in their sleep sometimes twitch, move their legs or arms, and eventually wake up. We don't know for sure why this happens, but these movements, which are called myoclonic, may be an instinctive response to what the brain considers potentially dangerous.

Fall according to the Christian dream book

Fall to what dreams - Good luck will come to you through overcoming difficulties. Imagine that you fell and immediately got up. You didn't receive any damage.

Fall according to the Old Russian dream book

Falling along the Universal Dream Book

Why are we so afraid of falling, because the sensations that we experience are quite exciting? What we really fear is the lack of support and an unpleasant landing.

If you fall in a dream, it means that you do not have enough support. Why don't you feel supported? What can you do to regain your footing in life? Remember where you fell from in a dream (from a cliff, from a ladder or just from the sky) and where you fell. What area of life was affected in a dream: work, relationships or social status? This will tell you in which areas of your life you lack support.

If you fall down stairs in a dream - first of all, inspect the stairs in your house to make sure they are in good condition, and then think: perhaps in a dream you assumed that someone would hold the stairs for you.

If in a dream you see another person falling, think: maybe he needs support. Or has he fallen out of favor with you? What does this person mean to you? Perhaps it symbolizes some aspect of your personality? Think about your life. Perhaps in a dream you foresee failures at work, a decline in a relationship, or another area of \u200b\u200blife?

Fall according to the American dream book

You will lose your foothold, your fall will be inevitable. With great difficulty, you will be able to recover from the blow. It will take a lot of strength from you to withstand the test of strength.

If in a dream you fall from a small height, this means that you will find yourself in a difficult situation from which it will be very difficult for you to get out. But not much time will pass, and you will again be able to enjoy life, despite minor troubles.

If you get seriously injured as a result of a fall and feel severe pain at the same time, this means that you will be in despair for a long time, close to mild insanity, as you will get tired of waiting for your life to change even slightly for the better.

Seeing someone else fall - hurry to help a friend in need.

Falling according to Denise Lynn's detailed dream book

We often fall when we learn to walk. If the ground has come out from under our feet - in some situation or we are in the process of personal growth and are not confident in ourselves, such signs will often appear to us.

When we “tread new ground” and take risks, the reward will often be success. Sometimes we even have to stumble first in order to succeed. Learn to take risks in life.

Fall - may also mean that you are losing control over yourself or over life. If this is true, you must find one area in your life that you have control over and build on that to gain control over other areas of your own life.

Often they say “to hit (fall) in the dirt with your face”, “fallen woman” - these expressions can be symbols. Does this symbolism apply to you?

Fall according to the dream book Veles

Fall - humiliation, bad, misfortune, illness, loss, failure; in a pit - death, fire; into the water - the wish will not come true.

Fall on the Ukrainian dream book

Sometimes our dreams about flying are so wonderful that we don't want to go down to earth. We spread our wings and want to fly on. This happens more often in those dreams where we fly ourselves, and not in an airplane, train or car. You are left alone with the open sky. You are free from pedestrian duties.

At some point you may notice someone calling you from the ground. Maybe you are flying to school in a dream, you hear a bell, but you don’t want to go down. This may indicate a desire to live more freely and carefree. It may also indicate that you do not want to take on any responsibility. Rather, you should go down and see what the person who is calling to him wants from you. Maybe it's time for you to get down to business on your own. Only a little later, with the hope of turning your most fantastic dream into reality.

In dreams of flying and falling, we can travel from heaven to hell and visit any point in between. More precisely, we can experience the whole gamut of emotions that can fill this vast space. So, start looking at all these "ups" and "downs" from this point of view: what can they tell me about my real life?
