To dream of falling is a fairly common dream. We’ve all had the experience of bolting up from sleep, trying to catch ourself before we fall!
This sort of dream has several meanings. First of all, to dream of falling means that, in at least one area of your life, you feel out of control. There is something, or someone, you feel powerless to weild any control over. Children, finances, spouses, debt, employees - they’re all possibilities. Another possibility is SELF.
People who are trying to quit smoking or drinking often experience these types of dreams.
The prophesy from the dream is that you are in danger of losing your “footing” or “hold”. You need to step back, take a good honest look at the situation and take it from there.
Every situation is different, of course, so only you can say for sure what your next step would, or should, be. You may simply need to give yourself a pep talk or seek the company of an encouraging friend or family member (both if necessary!). Another possibility is that you may be trying to control something that is BEYOND your control. If that’s the case, you need to just let go of the reigns before it drags you down.
This is the sort of dream that makes me excited about Dream Prophesy and Analysis. It’s obvious that so much can be learned if we just take the time to really look into what goes on inside our heads while we’re asleep. We have the power to make our lives so much better, happier and successful if we would just listen more closely. The answers lie within us.

After she was delivered the blow that she had breast cancer, Wanda Easter Burch went home and fell asleep from exhaustion. She dreamed of what she refers to as “the cone breast”.
This dream not only revealed clues about her cancer, it inspired her - pushing her on toward a full recovery.
Now, 15 years later, this survivor has written a book, “She Who Dreams” to help others see how dreams can be used both for diagnosing as well as healing.

CARVING.
To dream of carving a particular kind of meat foretells a sudden change in your financial situation - for the better!
CASTLE.
Dreaming of a castle means that you are very forward thinking and ambitious.
You will, in the coming days, meet someone who can help you get ahead in your career or help you in some other way that’s of equal importance to you.
CAT.
The presence of a cat or cats in your dream indicate that you are a peaceful, loving person. You have a softer side to you that you don’t let everyone know about - only those who are closest to you.
A sleeping cat foretells of happiness in your love life.
A purring cat is thought to signal good news in the coming days.
CATERPILLAR.
Dreaming of a caterpillar indicates that you are a bit suspicious at heart. However, it also foretells of an upcoming event where it will pay for you to be even more suspicious than usual.
Caterpillars symbolize the warning - “Watch your back.”
CAVE.
Dreaming of a cave is usually indicative of something you are dealing with in your awake hours. This is an encouraging sign that you are on the right track, headed in the right direction.
Getting lost in a cave is a sign that you are missing something or someone very much.
CELERY.
Eating celery foretells of good health, happiness, and wonderful relationships.
You are a health-conscious person if you dream of just about any vegetable or fruit - but it’s never more so than if you dream of celery.

CARDS.
Watching others play cards is a warning for you not to take any important steps or make any changes any time soon.
If you are the one playing, the interpretation depends upon the cards you are holding: high cards generally mean good luck and success, and low cards mean failure and disappointment. Hearts mean success in love and victory over enemies and rivals. Diamonds symolize financial gain as well as an upcoming improvement at work. Clubs, however, point to a financial loss. Finally, spades mean a blow to your reputation and a period of sickness.
CARNIVAL.
Dreaming of carnivals or fairs indicate that you are in need of some good old-fashioned fun! You’ve been so wrapped up in work and, possibly financial stress, that you’ve forgotten the importance of play.
CARPENTER.
Dreaming of carpenters is a good omen. Good luck is around the corner.
People who have been busy in their life making changes or improvements often dream of painters, carpenters, and other similarly skilled individuals.
CARPET.
If you dream of cleaning carpets, you will soon succeed in a particular area that is of the utmost importance to you.
Simply seeing carpet in your dream speaks of your desire for everything to be orderly and “in it’s place”. You have probably been overworked lately and feel that some things are being neglected. The dream is letting you know that sometimes you just have to do what you can and let the rest go!
CARROTS.
Add carrots to the list of foods that are a good omen in dreams. Dreaming of this veggie indicates good health, now as well as in the future.
If you dream of growing, planting or picking them, the sign is expected to be (in addition to good health) a great sign for your career.

Here is a dream we received from an “Anonymous” dreamer recently:
Wooden Labyrinth Maze
Sad dream of ex-girlfriend watching me play a maze game with a reset bar. Much bitterness in this dream..I often dream of her waking up in cold sweats but this dream had a game in it. The game itself was a Wooden Labyrinth Maze that I had about the time of our relationship. I’ll leave a jpg location at the bottum of this story of the actual type of maze game. It may help you understand what I was seeing in my dream. The maze was different in my dream because of a reset bar. Their were 2 bars one on the right side and one on the bottum. Strange thing was her mother was in the dream and was standing behind her. Has anybody got any ideas how I can try to exorcise this deamon out of my dreams? You know it’s bad enough i had to deal with this relationship in the waking world but i did and I have moved on. I’m married now and would like to put this person’s memory away but it appears my mind isn’t ready to do that. I’ve tried meditation tapes & prayer.
How maddening it must be to have recurring dreams. You have to be so frustrated. The tricky thing about Recurring dreams is that by focusing on them we make them even worse by “more firmly” setting them into our unconsciousness.
If at all possible, try to put as much distance, mentally, between you and this dream.
If you still have feelings for this person, I really don’t think you’ll be at peace until you deal with them. Sometimes our day to day lives get go stressful that we think back (often) to less stressful times - as well as to the people in our lives at that time. The ex-girlfriend could possibly simply represent a more carefree time and it’s also possible that SHE isn’t what you yearn for as much as you do more fun, and less work.
The maze in the game probably represents stress or conflict. Perhaps if you try to bring more fun into your life now it would help. Maybe you could take your wife to simillar places you and your ex went to. Take her out for a burger, a movie, or even a night of playing arcade games. Make a habit of doing something fun each and every day. Be spontaneous and carefree - and include your wife. I think these dreams will go away in less than a week!
GOOD LUCK!

What is REM?
REM, or Rapid Eye Movement is the period during our sleep where dreams occur.
In the 1950’s, scientists proved that during this time, our eyes move rapidly back and forth - hence the name. This time is also sometimes referred to as “paradoxical sleep” because our nerve center during this time holds our body in near paralysis.
For more information, check out the articles on our website, Dream Prophesy.

CANE.
Seeing a cane means you will called upon to answer a question or questions. You will have the answers and will be able to save someone else a lot of time and trouble.
Carrying a cane means that you will be able to correct a mistake in judgement you recently made. The damage done by this mistake isn’t nearly as bad as you thought it was.
A broken cane means that you will be involved in a disappointing experience.
CANNON.
A cannon shooting off means that you will soon hear startling news, which may be good OR bad in nature.
CANOE.
A life of peace and happiness lies ahead of you if you dream of lazily drifting along in a canoe.
If the canoe turns over, your financial situation will take a turn for the worse.

We recently received a request for an analysis of rain dreams. Our dreamer was having recurring dreams about rain. Ironically, a few nights ago, I was (in my dream, anyway!) riding a bike in the rain in Denver. I’ve never even been to Denver, let alone ridden a bike there. (I’m a huge Bronco’s fan, so maybe I was just getting ready for football season!)
Anyway….
The symbolism for rain is generally that of cleansing or purity. What this usually indicates is that the dreamer has either recently “cleaned up” or “improved” an area of his or her life. They may have worked through something tricky at work, lost a few pounds, quit smoking, etc. On the flip side, the dream could be reminding them of something in their life that needs this exact attention. Only the dreamer would really know for sure, but most of the time this sort of dream is telling them that they’ve done something quite well!
The prophesy for rain dreams is considered to be very good - indicating luck and happiness ahead.
Thanks for submitting your dream!

We receive a lot of fascinating dreams (from a lot of fascinating people!) and a common theme is love. One of the most frequent love dreams involves a feeling of jealousy or betrayal. It seems to be a popular dream that, needless to say, troubles the dreamers.
Rest assured that this sort of dream is not prophetic. Ironically, to dream of your sweetheart cheating on you or betraying you in any way seems to speak of their loyalty. I don’t understand why this is true because the opposite would SEEM to be true! Be that as it may, you can put your mind at ease.
Oddly enough, if you dream that YOU are the one cheating, look out! You are in for a spell of misfortune.
Thanks SO MUCH to everyone who submits dreams - you keep things so interesting and fun!
