Answer 1

I've had dreams like this and I'm basophobic (fear of falling).

Maybe you are too?

I found this when I started having these dreams

Falling dreams are another theme that is quite common in the world of dreams. Contrary to a popular myth, you will not actually die if you do not wake up before your hit the ground during a fall.

As with most common dream themes, falling is 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. You have lost your foothold and can not hang on or keep up with the hustle and bustle of daily life.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.

According to Freudian theory, dreams of falling indicate that you are contemplating giving into a sexual urge or impulse. You maybe lacking indiscretion.

Falling dreams typically occur during the first stage of sleep. Dreams in this stage are often accompanied by muscle spasms of the arms, legs, and the whole body. These sudden contractions, also known as myclonic jerks. Sometimes when we have these falling dreams, we feel our whole body jerk or twitch and we awaken from this jerk. It is thought that this jerking action is part of an arousal mechanism that allows the sleeper to awaken and become quickly alert and responsive to possible threats in the environment.

According to biblical interpretations, dreams about falling have a negative overtone and suggest that man is acting and walking .

Answer 2

There is a myth that if you are at the top of a cliff in a dream and you fall it means you died in your sleep.

Was your instance a cliff? If it was it has proven that the myth isn't true.

I wouldn't worry about it.. It probably doesn't mean anything.

Answer 3

It probably means you're helpless, stuck and worried about something, especially if you ended up on the floor. Try to solve the problem and it will go away. But these dreams are probably the sorts you only get for a few days and then it stops.

Answer 4

Falling dreams usually indicated that you feel your like your life is out of control. You may feel insecure or overwhelmed. If the dream is a repeater dream, it may actually tell you what in your life feels out of control.

Keep a paper and pen by your bed and write your dreams down as soon as you get up. You'll be able to remember lots of details then and you may see a similar pattern in your dream that will answer the exact meaning.
