Subconscious
On a subconscious level, a slope can symbolize a person’s internal fears and complexes. If you dream that you are standing on the edge and feel panic, then in the real world you are also worried about something. This could be troubles at work or in your personal life. Perhaps there is something that causes you wild fear (for example, serious obligations, the need to make an important decision, etc.).
Falling off a cliff in a dream is an indicator of how you are struggling with your own fears. If you fall by accident and realize that you are afraid of falling, it means that in reality you prefer to shift responsibility to other people. You do not strive to make important decisions, but want to escape from it. You are not ready to face your own fears.
On the contrary, stepping into the void yourself is a sign that you boldly look at the events taking place and are ready to meet them. Regardless of whether they turn out to be positive or negative. You are a determined person who succeeds in everything he undertakes.
People's dream book
In the interpretation of this source, this is what dreams of a river cliff or other abyss mean:
- this image itself symbolizes danger for the dreamer, problems and unpleasant situations;
- quickly falling into the void is a signal that you have made the wrong decision, which you will soon regret;
- if you fall slowly, it means that you are in delusions that do not allow you to form a correct picture of what is happening;
- falling into the sea in a dream, into a cliff , but being able to grab a ledge is a sign of a precarious position. However, you have a chance to make things right;
- if you dreamed that you jumped of your own free will, then changes in the service are coming. It is possible that you will be offered a promotion, or you will decide to change jobs;
- if you land down very successfully, you will be able to solve all the difficulties that have arisen and find happiness;
- were unable to reach the bottom - in reality, the situation seems hopeless, which can provoke long-term depression;
- to get out of the abyss - significant changes are coming in the near future. You can start over and forget about troubles.
Fell into a puddle?
When a dreamer or woman falls into a puddle in a dream, it means that minor difficulties will soon arise in their life. Don't worry too much. They will be as insignificant as if you actually fell into a puddle in reality. You will stand up, proudly shake off your problems and dirt, and then move on as if nothing had happened.
Freud's Dream Book
In the minds of the founder of psychoanalysis, a cliff in a dream usually represents the dreamer’s fears and phobias that haunt him in reality. If you dream that you are standing on the very edge and experience wild panic, it means that in reality you are captive of your fears. Freud also believed that in this case a person accumulates unrealized sexual energy. She does not find a way out, which can lead to irreparable consequences for you and for those around you. You turn into an aggressive and withdrawn person. Therefore, you should find a partner with whom you can realize your fantasies.
“Why do you see a cliff in a dream? If you see a cliff in a dream, what does it mean?
Victor:
My friends and I are going hiking. First we are going to some room. There I try on an unusual sleeping bag for myself (it has a bag only for the head, and just like a mattress for the body). I’m doing this with a friend (an acquaintance from the present, I don’t communicate with her now). Next come those with whom we are traveling and my friend, who doubts whether he should go or not. I ask him whether he will definitely go or not, he leaves and says that he is going home now, but he will still go tomorrow (as I understand it, we have to spend the night in this room). Then I leave this room and 2 other people begin to catch up with me (as I understand, those who are also traveling with us). This is in the form of a game and I manage to deftly dodge them. Next, I understand that after leaving the room and after this *game*, I am at the university where I studied. Then the dream changes. We are already kayaking down the river (there are 3 or 4 of us, 2 kayaks, I am sitting in the 1st one with a girl who seems to be the same friend, although I’m not sure + I recently went kayaking). We are floating along the river, there are trees around... the river is narrow, the water is green. There are very narrow places that you have to push through (narrow, the width of a person’s shoulders, I’m sitting in the first kayak in front and so that the girl doesn’t get hurt, I free and widen these *places*. They are with the ground and there are branches at the edges of this ground, but I’m confident I can handle this and we sail on) Further on there is the same narrow place, only there a log is stopping us. At first I say that we will have to carry the kayaks, but then we manage to simply push him out with the kayak. Then we sail without any bottlenecks. The width of the river is 7-15 meters. There are also trees around. We sail calmly and see some men. They are doing something on the shore (they look like they are resting), but when they see us, they get up and catch up with us. They are catching up with us on bicycles, riding on the water. Having caught up with our kayak, they offer us a pleasant time. I was immediately distrustful of them and felt threatened by them. I think it's all because of the girl. In response to their proposal, I said something like: 'How can you be trusted if you ride bicycles on water?' Then I doubted whether I could do the same myself. The girl got a bicycle (her own) and after trying it, she was able to ride. Then I doubted and said, well, if you can do the same, then if you want (girl), let’s stay with them. But I still said that we wanted to raft on the river (and there was just a strong current there) and I liked it better. Then one of these new acquaintances notices that there is a cliff and a waterfall ahead. No one falls and we are glad that everyone found out about it in time. There are already 5 of us, 2 new acquaintances who are standing far behind. Boy and girl. The girl is already different and the guy is unknown (but in the dream they seemed familiar to me, that is, my kayaking companions, it’s just impossible to establish their identities). I want to jump into a waterfall and we start discussing whether it is possible to jump or not. I'm being clever and saying that you can jump into any waterfall, because below where the water falls there are no sharp rocks or objects, since the falling water over time made the place where the water fell deep. Next I go to the edge of the waterfall. I understand that I won’t be able to look there. I choose a place on the shore, go to the edge, look down and first feel the beauty of the view (it looks like a very high cliff, and below is the ocean or something like that... 50 meters or more), then I’m afraid that I’ll fall, because I’m not afraid of myself falling, but falling not into the water, but onto sand or stones (there are sandy and watery areas below, but in the watery ones I’m not sure there will be enough depth, but I’m sure that if I reach deep water, I won’t break). Then I crawl away from the edge, but I can't do it. I understand that I'm stuck. My feet are on a solid area, but there is nothing to grab onto with my hands, because there is sand all around, except for the place where I stand with my feet, but then I begin to doubt it too. I call for help, but no one hears her. I try to scream loudly, but it doesn't work loudly. And not far from me I see the guy and girl with whom I was kayaking talking. Moreover, I understand that the conversation turns into flirting. I don't like it, but I call them for help because I want to get out. Then I see how the girl shows her bare breasts to this guy, and I no longer understand whether I should call them for help or not, but I call anyway, at the same time trying to get out myself. Then this guy and girl probably heard me, they come up to me and the dream ends.
Answer
Miller's Dream Book
As the interpreter pointed out, this image symbolizes some turning point in the life of a sleeping person. It may indicate an impending danger, the emergence of a difficult situation that will force you to act rashly and riskily. In order not to further aggravate the situation, you need to act carefully and weigh the possible consequences of your own actions.
The author believed that in a dream the edge of a cliff can also represent gaining wealth, achieving success and a strong position in society. Most often this applies to those people who like an atmosphere of intrigue and fear. In this case, you do not get scared, but collect internal resources to resist troubles. In dangerous situations, your talents and abilities are fully revealed.
If in a dream you feel that standing on the edge is unpleasant for you, it means that you have to make an important decision. But to do this you will need to muster willpower and exercise caution. Your choices should be based on logic and data analysis, not on what others say. It will be useful to listen to your intuition, which will tell you how to act.
In this dream book, a car falling off a cliff or a train is evidence of danger and the risk of suffering from dubious adventures. Don't jump to conclusions. If you dreamed that you fell from a height, but were able to survive and get out, it means that you will overcome all the troubles that fate will send.
Vanga's Dream Book
In this source, the image is described depending on the following circumstances:
- standing on a cliff in a dream is a bad sign. Night vision warns of mortal danger that threatens you. Only caution and God's help will help you avoid it;
- dreamed that you were falling into an abyss - a prophecy that concerns the meaning of your life. You are destined to establish peace and harmony on the planet. You must unite people and become the ruler of one united country in which harmony will reign;
- is a shallow ravine - you really shouldn’t count on management being favorable to you. On the contrary, you will have to prove your importance many times in order to be noticed and promoted;
- Dreaming of filling a chasm with earth is a positive sign. The symbol says that you will cope with all future difficulties, overcome all adversity and achieve what you dream of. In addition, the dream warns that you should not forget about those around you when you achieve success.
Appearance of the cliff
Being over a bottomless cliff means strong self-doubt. Peering into the darkness signals that a person does not understand his goals and is in search. The dream warns of the need to stop and carefully consider future plans.
The interpretation of a dream may have the following explanations, depending on the presence of additional objects or circumstances nearby:
- a raging river - there are events ahead that will plunge you into a sphere of activity associated with many people; a person may be entrusted with an important social task;
- a sand quarry means an uncertain state, a tempting offer has appeared on the horizon, but the sleeper does not dare to accept it;
- clean water under or next to a cliff indicates confidence in the implementation of plans;
- winding river - a dishonest act was committed in the past or a trick was committed, information about which a person is trying to hide and is afraid of its discovery;
- Sunrise is one of the best signs that speaks of future success and luck in all endeavors.
If a person admires the panorama that opens from a cliff in a dream, then great opportunities and prospects will open up for him in life. If at the same time a road stretching into the distance is visible, then a favorable sign foreshadows the successful implementation of the plan, but this will require a lot of effort. If the path is broken, then the collapse of the work begun and the impossibility of realizing the plan are possible. Some dream books interpret this as a signal of possible health problems.
Everyday dream book
In this dream book, a cliff is considered a bad symbol. Standing on the edge and experiencing horror is a sign that you will find yourself in a difficult situation. You will have to make a difficult decision that will weigh on you. If you don’t experience any unpleasant emotions, then there is a chance that you will successfully overcome all the upcoming tests and emerge victorious from the situation.
I dreamed that I was trying to throw myself into an abyss - the personification of psychological difficulties and problems. Emotional experiences lead to an unstable state and can result in a serious breakdown and crisis. You can’t hold back your feelings for so long; you need to find a way out for them.
If in a dream you were driving a car and fell into emptiness, it means that you risk getting involved in a dubious matter, the solution of which will require the help of loved ones.
