Dreaming about Falling from a height
The classic falling dream: a drop from a building, cliff, platform, or sky. The defining feature is the height itself and the visible distance to the ground, which intensifies the sense of exposed position.
Common interpretations
Jungian
The fall from height in the Jungian frame typically reads as ego descent from an inflated or overextended position. The greater the height, the more the dream is signaling a gap between the position the conscious self has been holding and the ground it actually rests on.
You stand on a tower that suddenly tilts and you slide off. The reading would focus on the tower: what structure in waking life have you been standing on that may be less stable than you have allowed yourself to see?
