Answer 1

Hi Jess! Dreams of falling indicate that you feel that an area of your life is out of control, or that you feel you are losing control, and you may have anxiety over it. Hope this helps!

I read a Jack London story once, set in, like, 1 million years B.C., where it was suggested that the falling dream is an atavistic memory of the time we all lived in trees, and falls were more common.
I doubt it has any scientific basis, but it's a nice idea...

If this generally happens when you have just gone to sleep it can be the result of a myoclonic jerk - this is where your muscles jerk inadvertently and this can cause you to have that stomach lurch like falling or going over hump-backed bridge quickly in the car. When this happens you can also be dreaming and your dream will create a fall or trip to go with the sensation - this happens to me all the time and, annoyingly, sometimes wakes me up.

I think maybe it could be a surge of electricity in the body that makes you jump awake suddenly.,it happens to me sometimes. Remember that the human body is constantly full of chemical electricity.
Also i think that diet plays a big part in our dream states. Have a look at what sorts of food you are eating

Answer 7

To me it sounds like you or your life is out of control and you feel like you can't control it and that is your sub-conscience mind letting you know that something is going on. I would take a good look at what is going on with you and in your life right now and see if there is something that you can change to make your life a little better. Or at least more in control or balanced!
