I keep having dreams that I die...?

Question

It always involves falling, and then waking up before I actually die. I've had this dream a couple of times where we are drving on the overpass, and we crash, and our car drives off of the over pass, and we are falling and falling, and then I wake up before we hit the ground and another car hits us.

But, I have other dreams that I fall a long ways and I am about to die. What does this mean?

Answer 1

It could mean nothing, or it could be a reflection of something that is happening in your life. Just because something happens in a dream doesn't mean it's going to to happen in real life so you should try not to let it affect you too much.

If the dreams really start to affect you, you should try getting help to deal with them. Another question would be---Is there anything that triggers these dreams? Perhaps figuring out why you have these dreams would be a help.

As for what the dreams mean, who knows. If you wanted to be metaphorical, maybe it doesn't have to do with you dying in a literal sense. Perhaps you driving is you in your everyday life and the collisions are a representation of conflict. The falling may represent a spiraling out of control... Death may be despair or something that is permanent once it happens.

Answer 2

I had that kind of situation not too long ago.

stuff like that often happens at the  end of somethng fun/good and at the start of something very bad.  But  Its just a drem so dont let it get to you.  I dont think i have ever died in a dream.  I think it is instinct that humans open spring awake when about to die a dream death and fliinch when about to be killed in real life.  The crash is probably symbolizing a loss of controll of something and falling could symbolyze a lot of things.  Spiraling out of control.  Falling confidence.  Heck... could even be falling for someone. But remember its just a dream and you cant let it get to you.  things like that often pass with time

Answer 3

it means.. stop staying up late too much. and stop watching video games or tv show too much...

Answer 4

I think it means that you were thinking about something that you can't really control, causing you to fall in your dreams because you can't stop falling once you start.  This happens to me sometimes, and I always jump up thinking that I'm actually falling and people look at me like I'm crazy but that's irrelivant :]]

Answer 5

Don't worry relax.  You're not going to die.  It's probably one of those dreams that have some meaning something like, something is bothering you consciously and until you figure it out you'll continue to have this dream of you falling.  But you'll be okay since you don't actually die in your dream you know?

Answer 6

It is just a crazy dream no hidding meaning just a dream! lol I used to have them all the time but like right before I would hit I would hear a loud noise like a hit and would wake up. Had one where i was in this room spinning around and round in this chair and right before I was thrown out bam woke up! just one of the joys of the human mind we dream wierd stuff sometimes but that is all it is a dream! Don't buy into the dream world voodoo! lol

Answer 7

We can't believe our dream.

Answer 8

As I recall from college days having a degree in psych falling dreams and dreams involving dieing as with most common dream themes, falling is an indication of insecurities, instabilities, and anxieties.  You may want to reflect on areas in your life that you may be having issues with.
