Archetypal Symbolism
Falling is one of the most universal archetypal motifs in dream psychology. In Jungian thought, it frequently symbolizes an ego that has become inflated or disconnected from instinctual grounding, plunging back toward the unconscious self.
Psychological Context
Psychologically, falling dreams rarely signal disaster; rather, they point to acute vulnerability, a feeling of losing control over waking circumstances, or the imperative to surrender stubborn resistance to life changes.
