Has anyone ever had one of those awful dreams where you fall??

yes that the thing you fell of the bed when we dream we cant fall if wee fall in a dream we wake up but then there is also the thing you experienced if wee are a sleep and fall of the bed then yes then we stop dreaming the dream wee were dreaming and start another one and in that dream were falling since time in a dream is longer then in real life like a minute in real is mabey like 10 min in a dream then we feel like we are falling forever

I've had that kind of dream several times as well. Usually I wake up before I hit the ground, but the few times I haven't I ended up dreaming I fell into a big body of water (usually a lake). One time though, when I was a kid, I dreamt I was falling off a really tall building, and just when I hit the ground I suddenly woke up... and it turned out I had actually fallen off my bed! :P

oh, everybody have those i think we have more when we are under stress in good times i never have them some believe these dreams happens to people who have fears, i don't know

Yeah, it often happens with me also. When I dream of falling, I wake up before hitting the ground in my dream. This happens because I so scared. Even if I wake up, it takes 2-3 minutes for me to realize that it was a dream and not reality. I really hate such dreams.

hehehe, lolz, it always happen to me too, during dream it looks like I am falling from a height and when I hit the ground my body just shivers, it is really happening. I observed this things in kids also, when they are sleeping the suddenly shivers and I think this is also due to this type of dream. Scientifically speaking, as I have no source to confirm it, it my own thinking, if some parts of your body cannot get enough blood due to your sleeping position, then such type of dreams appear and you just move your body to change your position during sleeping and this help in movement of blood to those parts, but it may not be true, or it can be...:)) Have a good day...

Same with me, I usually experience this kind of dreams where I'm falling. I really feel like it's real too. I can feel that my body is falling, I can somehow feel the force or air against my body's direction of movement, as if anytime I'll already hit the ground hard. Then before I can even reach the ground, I'll suddenly wake up astoundingly, it's like I'm in shock. I've experienced this on a public vehicle for a few occasions, I was really tired and the travel was quite long. The people who sat beside me giggled a bit, well, I also giggled. I find it quite embarrassing but funny at the same time. =)

The falling dreams that you had may not mean anything, and could be explained through scientific means or logical thinking. In other words there is nothing to worry about, and in fact the majority of dreams fall into this category. On the other hand dreaming of falling from a high place, or going down to a lower place can mean failure in achieving success in something that we intend to grasp.

A dream I have every now and then is one where I slip or fall and I react by jerking and thus waking up. I do not like the feeling actually. But I guess it's okay because although my sleep gets disturb, I usually do not have difficulty falling asleep again. I just wonder what it is all about or what causes such dream. Cheers!

I kind of had a dream like that too. I fell like falling down, and then I suddenly jerk up/ wake up..kicking the bed or something. I've had those dreams a few times- 4 or more. I don't really know what the are or what they mean though.

I've seen a lot of this on line and on television. I read that it is caused by stress. Stress can make many adverse things to people.

The reason why you never hit the ground in your dreams is because it's something that you don't want to happen in reality. Your subconscious is still working and your mind does too perfectly well. I've had several dreams of falling and before hitting the ground I would just wake up then or the dream changed again.
