Answer 1

To dream that you sustain a fall, and are much frightened, denotes that you will undergo some great struggle, but will eventually rise to honor and wealth; but if you are injured in the fall, you will encounter hardships and loss of friends.

Answer 2

I'd say that you've had so many dreams that you can "control" when you'll wake up by a certain movement. I know this because I snap my fingers and I wake up. To tell you the truth, I don't really know exactly how that works. Pretty soon, it could be a different movement, like winking an eye.

A childs subconscience knows that it is just a dream. Something in the dream must have given you an indication...But if you would like to interperate what you were dreaming about please check out the weblink I am leaving for you... It may be helpful.

In childhood dreams it is easier to run away from the unknown than it is to turn around and identify your fears. Familiarity with a place indicates safety, or a feeling of security.
It is actually a common dream for most children to have when something happened at home that threatened their sense of security. I'm guessing you had this dream whenever your parents had a fight, when there was tension at home due to something your parents would not discuss in front of you the child, or when something on the tv news at night hit home.
The best thing to do is to turn around and face your fear. Waking yourself up is a safety mechanism to prevent you from letting your fear take control of you.
Fear in dreams is instigated by a feeling of being unable to control something outside of yourself. Fear kicks in the 'fight or flight' response. You either choose to fight, or you choose to run away. But in dreams you cannot run away fast enough.
One way to prevent your bad dreams or nightmares is to develop some simple defense mechanisms, things you can do in real life and in your dreams to help make it easier to make split-second life-or-death decisions.
For example, whenever I am in a large, crowded football stadium, I always pick my 'safe spots' in case of an emergency - like that flat spot on top of the tunnel entrance to get away from people frantically pushing me out of the way in case of an evacuation. If there was an earthquake I would put myself next to the cement wall on the middle pathway. If there was a fire in the stands I would make my way to the field. I have made it a habit to find all of the emergency exits in any building and locate all of the fire extinguishers in every building as well (wildfire technician's training - I am qualified to use a shovel.)
I also planned what I would do or say when faced with being offered some strange substance at parties. I made up my mind well beforehand that I would say no to all drugs and alcohol well before the stuff was in front of me, so when the offer came my decision was already made, and it was easier to say no when it came up. By facing my fears, planning ahead, and making decisions before they came up, I went into situations in my life better prepared to make decisions, and my nightmares were not so scary when I discovered I had weapons to fight.
In dreams you can also take more control. There is a point when you realize you are in a dream. Running away in a dream means you are running away from something in real life, and you are letting your fears make your decisions for you. Try turning around and facing your fears. One fear was my abusive dad. When I finally had the courage to stand up to him in real life, I finally realized I could grab swords, kitchen knives, scissors, shovels, and baseball bats in my dreams and fight back the monster attacking me. It's also easier to fly in dreams than you think - all you have to do is jump! Whenever a dream gets out of control, or just plain stupid - the same old people trying to beat me up - I just leap up and fly away. I have learned to get over my fear of being naked in public by learning how to dance a strip-tease in real life - hey, if I'm going to be naked, I might as well freak people out and laugh at the same time! Laughter is also a huge tool in conquering your dreams, as is embracing your fears and turning the tables. Naked? Start streaking! Can't run fast enough? Leap up and fly! Can't kill the demon? Start telling some jokes and seeing if you can get it to laugh.
The more power you give yourself going in to situations in life, the more you prepare ahead of time what you will do in situations, the more power you will have in your dreams. It takes time to develop your power, but with power comes change for the better. When you learn how to minimize and conquer your own fears, you gain power and control in your self. It works!
Try it and Good Luck.
