- Fall:
Falling in a dream means despair or disappointment, or it could mean a mistake that cannot be covered. Falling in a dream also means changing conditions from good to bad, or a marriage failure and changing of spouse. It also means changing profession, country or religion.
Falling in a dram also projects the reverse effects and produces positive results if what one falls over is pasture, or if he falls upon a good community or to join a banquet or the like effects, then it may have a positive meaning. On the other hand, falling into the hand of a bad company, or into a beast’s den, etcetera, means evil consequences, or it could mean stinginess. If one sees himself falling down from the roof of his house, and if he breaks an arm or a leg in the dream, then it reflects a psychological distress, adverse financial conditions, breaking of a friendship or it may mean suffering from persecution by the local authorities.
- Hurricane:
- Doze:
(Sleep) To doze or fall forward on one’s face in a sleep in a dream means going astray.
- Fall:
- aperture
- Attic window:
(Aperture; Peephole; Window) If one’s attic window towers over a large and a beautiful property in the dream, it means owning or acquiring a new property, earning respect, honor and fulfillingone’s aspirations. If the view from one’s attic window is depressing in the dream, then it means relief from difficulties, or if one is sick, then it means recovering from his illness, or if he is unmarried, then it means that he will get married. If a woman looks at an attic window in a dream, it means that she will get married.
Discovering an attic window in a house that does not have one in a dream means the spread of one’s authority, or the success of one’s business.
- Lair:
(Deception; Plot; Profits; Fall) Digging a hole, a water well, or an irrigation and planning to water the plants with them in a dream means attending one’s needs and serving the interests of his family. Eating from the dirt one piles from digging in his dream represents a swagger, or someone who acquires money through deception. Seeing oneself inside a hole in a dream also means divorce.
To see oneself outside of such a hole looking at it in a dream means having an argument with one’s spouse that will end in reconciliation. If a sick person or a prisoner sees himself coming out of a hole in a dream, it means that he will become free from his trials. Falling into a hole and crying for help to no avail in a dream means taking a short trip.
A hole in a dream also represents a poor woman who strives to cover others pitfalls, though she cannot veil her own. Hiding inside a hole in a dream also means appeasement of one’s fears, or ending of one’s adversities. If while hiding, one finds food, or fresh water, or a cloth to cover himself in the dream, it means profiting from sources one does not anticipate, or making peace with an opponent.
To put a hole in one’s shoe in a dream means facing trouble and adversities.

However the disappearance of God’s loving people in a dream perhaps means thinking about one’s beloved, or being exposed to uncommon mysteries of the universe. If one disappears within the earth without going through a hole in his dream, and if he remains a long time therein until people think that he will never come out again in the dream, it means self-deception, arrogance and love for the world, and such a person will die in that pursuit as a consequence of adventuring with his own life.

If one’s hand and heels are cut off in a dream, it means corruption in one’s religious life or forsaking the spiritual circles, or it could mean being barren or being freed from the duty to raise children. Cutting off one’s nose or ear in a dream means a punishment for a crime, or it could mean poverty or missing someone’s news.
Cutting off one’s tongue in a dream means invalidating one’s argument or proof, or it could mean preventing him from asking for anything.

If one finds within such a garden a group of associates or colleagues, the garden then represents a marketplace. If one sees a servant or a worker of his urinating inside a well or a stream inside such a garden in the dream, it means that a relative will betray the interests of the family.

It also represents a meeting place where the rich and the poor, the righteous and the insolent gather. A garden in a dream also may indicate a religious center, a school, a center for scientific research and studies, a place of worship, etcetera.
If one enters a garden at the season of plucking its fruits in a dream, it means glad tidings, money and increase in one’s good deeds, marriage or children.

Navigating the Meaning Behind Your Falling Dreams
- Reflect on Recent Changes
When you experience a dream in which you're falling with the ground opening, it's wise to reflect on recent changes in your life. Are there new responsibilities weighing you down, or have you faced significant transitions? Understanding how these changes affect your emotional state can help you uncover the root causes of your dream.
Create a journal and regularly jot down your feelings and the circumstances surrounding your waking life. This exercise will enable you to create connections between your dreams and your real-life situations. Often, it's in the details where the heart of our anxiety lies.
By doing so, you may discover that the uncertainty in your dream mirrors the fears you have in your daily life, helping you to confront them boldly.
- Explore Your Emotions
Falling dreams are often reflections of our emotional state. Take time to sit quietly, meditate, or engage in deep self-reflection. Focus on how you felt during the dream and consider how those feelings correlate with your waking life emotions.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, unsupported, or anxious about recent events? Acknowledging these feelings can alleviate some of the weight you carry silently. Additionally, sharing your insights with a trusted friend or counselor can be therapeutic.

In situations of confusion or fear, seeking spiritual guidance can offer clarity. Turn to sacred texts or consult with individuals possessing ‘ilim’ (knowledge) about dreams and their interpretations. Many believe that dreams carry messages meant to guide us through life’s journeys.
By engaging with spiritual practices—such as prayer, meditation, and reading religious or philosophical works—you can cultivate a sense of peace. This can lead you to a deeper understanding of your dreams and their meanings. Embrace this as an opportunity for personal growth; the insights you discover through spiritual reflection can lead you to resolve the feelings of fear associated with falling dreams.
