Dealing with grief of the death a loved one or your own future death and its inevitability. What has ended in your life? The dream usually indicates a positive and healthy progression in our lives, as we are being invited to step into unfamiliar territory and display our talents. If you are wary of opening up to people, you may appear cold. It might be nerve-racking, but express your true self without thinking about how people are judging you.
You are sitting an important exam but are shocked to realise you have done no studying. Your lack of preparation shows you usually prepare meticulously for every task. You set yourself high standards and feel a constant anxiety that you will end up with a poor result. When you judge yourself too harshly, you will feel like a failure, no matter how successful you are. First you have the sensation of floating, then you soar into the sky and fly through the air.
You have a tremendous feeling of exhilaration. You have been released from circumstances that were weighing you down. Although you may regard this feeling of liberation as luck, you created the opportunity yourself. Consider other chances in your life where you could go off into the realms of new possibilities. Over the age of ten we have four to six dreams per night.
They can last from five minutes to half an hour. Everything seems normal, but then you suddenly feel your legs give way as you stumble and fall. Sometimes the fall is minor, other times you tumble downstairs or plummet off a cliff into a chasm. This signifies a fear of losing control. Falling suggests you need to let go of responsibilities that are dragging you down. This dream is often triggered by stress and so is encouraging you to take a more relaxed approach in certain areas of your life. Muscle tension can make you feel like you spend most of your day braced for impact.
Try relaxing your muscles before going to bed. You are in a vehicle that is spinning out of control. You desperately try to slow down because you are scared of crashing.
While you may have a plan, circumstances are getting out of control. An imminent crash shows you are going to be in contact or conflict with something unavoidable. Rather than abandoning your present position, consider the areas where you do have control. Accept there are some situations over which you have no control.
You open it to find a room you had completely forgotten about. Homes in dreams symbolise ourselves and different rooms are aspects of our character. The unnoticed door indicates you have a chance to step into an exciting new possibility. The size of the room reflects the size of the chance. You might think you know your achievements and limitations, but you have talents you have yet to discover. Be open to even the most unexpected opportunities. You are on your way to an appointment and realise you are late. On the way you get caught up in obstacles and distractions.
You keep looking at the clock and are alarmed at time passing. You are worried you are missing an opportunity and that time is running out to carry out a plan, such as starting a family or achieving a career goal. The obstacles and distractions show you are procrastinating, that you have been filling your life with lots of other activities, but they are not getting you anywhere.
Commit to meaningful action rather than involving yourself in meaningless action. Once a decision has been made, your direction will become clear and your time becomes your own, rather than being subject to the whims of what is happening around you.
