I had this dream :
I was at what appeared to be a seaside and there was a huge cliff standing high above sea level. I saw people running along the top and jumping from the edge of the cliff into the sea. My sister and her fiance were telling me not to do it but i ran past them to a girl that was standing at the edge of the cliff ready to jump. She was going to do the jump with me. I didn't recognise this girl but i knew she was a friend. I grabbed her hand and We ran to the edge and i looked down quickly and the drop was massive. Before i knew it we had jumped. I could feel myself falling and felt scared. I had closed my eyes during the descent at first, but opened them mid air to see this girl still holding my hand looking at me smiling as we dropped. We fell into the sea then swam up and out of the water laughing.
Anyone have any thoughts??

My sister, her fiance, my partner and myself have moved in together a few months ago and things with them have been going better than i would have expected. My relationship with my partner at the moment is rocky to say the least. I'm wondering wether i should walk away from it. Aside from that life is good.

I'd need to know more about your life and your relationship with your sister and her fiancee. I can tell you that water represents emotions in dreams and can indicate how you feel about things - for example, a dream about a tidal wave would mean your emotions felt out of control, whereas a stagnant pond would mean you were maybe repressing something or felt stuck. So I would say this dream has something to do with relationships of some kind. It sounds like a positive dream, like you're ready to take the plunge emotionally speaking, despite your fears, but in some way you feel your sister (or what your sister represents to you) wants to hold you back. It's interesting there are also other people jumping - is there something in your life you really want to do, and see others doing, but have been too scared to do yourself? Because it goes against what your family believe? It's also interesting that you had a companion who reassured you by holding your hand and smiling - this could imply that if you do take the risk (whatever it is) you will have more support than you think, though this will come from people other than family. Anyway, whatever, it seems like you should go for it as the dream ends positively. So do what you wanna do as it will ultimately make you happy and don't let the naysayers hold you back! I could say more but I don't want to make too many assumptions without knowing more about you. EDIT: having just briefly checked your profile, I'll take a risk and share my first thoughts - could this be an issue around sexuality? Your sister representing heterosexuality but you have other ideas about which way you want to go? And you're finding it all a bit scary but ultimately being true to yourself and who you are will make you happy. EDIT 2: Haha, I just checked more of your replies and you are an out gay woman, so it seems my first thoughts were right! You already have a partner - so maybe this is something about commitment - you're not ready for it yet, want to be free, don't want to be tied down just yet like your sister? Maybe you're scared that if you break off your current relationship, you'll end up alone but this dream is telling you that you'd be happier and you'll still have love and companionship in your life. Hope my ramblings help anyway!

Of course we don't know all the details about your life and relationships but usually dreams has strong **symbols** that your subconscious mind creates while analyzing what you are going through to exaggerate them and give you a better idea of the current situation.
From the brief description you shared, the rocky cliff in the middle of the ocean could be the act of marriage or commitment, you see commitment as a big step that you are rushing to curiously, you are scared to take the step but still see many others running towards it and taking the jump (risk) into the scary ocean (Marriage).
Some are afraid like yourself and still jump but some are smiling while falling and letting go, you don’t know what is coming when you take the jump hence the scary feelings and the last look into the long look at the massive drop. I think this also tells something about how your interpretation of letting go is, you are blocking your mind and not analyzing enough and think that others are just rushing to jump and letting go without enough information about their situations! which is not the bases to a successful relationship. You need to think and predict what’s coming ahead in the long term that is related to those decisions.
It is still scary to take the final step but at least you are somewhat enlightened on what to expect at the end.
It seams to me that there is a girlfriend involved and is encouraging or rushing you to follow her lead or decisions and take the step in your OWN life, hence the (hand holding) and smile to make you brave. She might be right or wrong by the way, as you are STILL convinced that this is an ocean (unknown) but you still trust her enough to take a rushed final decision and do it with not enough information, probably trusting her too much (as you said you felt you knew her when you saw her face but yet you don’t recognize her) so be careful and take your own decisions from now on, and listen to others as a guidance only, take a few days break, write your thoughts and imagine different scenarios.
Stand back and take a 20,000 feet look on the bigger picture before taking the deep dive. Analyze the situation. Afterall, this is YOUR own life, and taking the jump should be based on an educated guess.
Good luck

Look so simple. If you believe in God, i'd tell you to quit the world a little and return to God so much. Though you may go into the world and return safely, but it is still a risk.
Adventure always live a scare, better live it than leave in it.
I am a muslim and can tell you more. I had similar dream and in Islam i found myself today.
It may also have to do with a prevailing issue in the family. Or a mere physcological push.

The cliff could represent an obstacle in your life. Others are jumping off it because they have conquered it. Your sister and fiance are trying to hold you back because they fear the worst. Finding a friend willing to take the plunge with you helps to make you feel confident enough in yourself to leap. You open your eyes in time to discover beauty despite your fears. You came up laughing because you were happy to resolve your obstacle.

Perhaps you're about to take a dangerous risk. Of which many are afraid that you might fail or it will harm you. This risk could be physical or not. You may meet upon somebody that will help. You will take the risk, and end up happily. This person would have helped you much along your way. This person could become a friend

what a great dream!
You are preoccupied with the thought of marrige because of your sister's impending marriage. It scares you the idea of commitment but in the end you know that you want to take the plunge even though it is scary - and the best part of the dream is that you are comforting yourself that this can be a great thing for yourself.

Do you have things/issues in your life you're afraid of facing...that maybe your family is trying to discourage you from dealing with, but you may have a friend/friends who are willing to help you face them? Maybe an issue so huge, you feel as though it may be fatal, but you see others have faced it.
I know the sea sometimes represents humanity.
