Recurring Dream

[luke wilson]

Recently I have been having a theme recur in my dreams.

That is of jumping from a great height.

Just last night it was from the very top of the Gherkin.

Levitation or flying isn't in the dream so you fall as you'd expect but when I make contact with the ground, it isn't with the force that you expect from such a great height. It's like having jumped from a small height so there is no physical damage at all to oneself.

What is the symbolism in this?

A few thoughts come to mind for the symbolism.

Positive symbolism:
Taking a 'leap of faith'.....that is there is a step in your life that looks scary (that it will 'kill you' to take it), so it requires faith that it will not destroy you to take it.

Falling/impact is traumatic, so its possible it may be related to exploring past trauma? It may also be a symbolic impact such as mirroring in the Work - perhaps you have been avoiding feeling the full impact of a mirror?

Negative symbolism:
Its possible that its also a warning that you are 'leaping before looking'.....but the outcome seems to suggest it may not be a negative dream.

The last thought (as with all dreams) is what could the disinformation be...in this case perhaps HAARP is beaming 'suicide' images?

Hello Luke,
I found this possible interpretation in here _http://dreammoods.com/cgibin/fallingdreams.pl?method=exact&header=dreamid&search=fallingintro
However, my personal take on these dreams is that they may express some hesitation to take a decision, and that jumping into the unknown may symbolise the desired impulse to go out of the hesitation state, and see what happens.

Thanks for the replies and the link.

It might mean that I need to take some pro-active action to correct my current situation and the hesitation towards making this leap in a new direction.

Something to think about. I can understand the helplessness part of it, being at the mercy of uncontrollable forces aswell and maybe the faith or lack of that one might land safely(?).

Lately I have been feeling that I need to regain perspective and regroup.
