Are you having an OBE when you dream that you are falling..

Does anyone ever get the falling dream, and before they get to the bottom, they get jolt awake? I sometimes have either that dream or the running dream where I'm running up my street, but then get jolted awake either on my own or from some outside noise (usually dogs lol). Are these aps or obes??

I don't know either.......I used to dream of falling all the time as a child......and sometimes i would get woken up with such a jolt like my body jumped and my heart would be racing.......it happened into my teens then it just seemed to stop.......all i get now is lots of vibrations upon waking....and sometimes when wide awake......strange

Dreams about falling usually occur as you are "falling off" to sleep. They may be triggered by a drop in blood pressure, a movement of the fluid in the middle ear, or a limb dangling off the side of the bed. It can very well be the sensation that you feel when you are returning back from astral traveling as well.

As a symbol, falling highlights a loss of emotional equilibrium or self-control. You may fear "letting go" in real life. Anxiety usually accompanies this dream. It may represent your insecurity, a lack of self-confidence, a fear of failure or an inability to cope with a situation.

You ask about the dreams you have had about falling and running. In answer to your question, no, I don't believe those are tied to out of body experiences even if you feel like you're coming back down into your body.That is more of a reflexive action due to the type of dream you were having.

Having said that, when we dream we often travel into the world of spirit but upon returning, we usually would remember little about those dream visits if in effect, they were of such a nature, but there are of course, exceptions. Whereas, you seem to remember what you were doing quite clearly. In an OOBE, one generally knows it and it feels quite different as it did for me when I experienced one. The feeling there is not about feeling like you're falling but rather of ascending or floating upwards out of your body. With running, it is believed that one is trying to escape from a personal problem or such especially if it occurs once too often.

When you experience an OOBE as well as a NDE, you will know it for sure! There will be absolutely no doubt about it and it would feel like nothing you ever experienced before. So, rest assured that the dreams you are having seem to better signify your wanting to run away from something because you feel you are dropping out of favor in some way from that which you are faced with in your normal life. But know that you can tackle any problem you have with the right focus and the attitude that you can RISE above it rather than fall from it and into the grip of the unknown.

Many blessings to you!

Not speaking for Breeze, but in my view it's not so much that spiritual dream work is done in other worlds but in a higher level of our own consciousness, in or out of body. Most dreams are from the subconscious mind, of course.

A sense of falling can come with returning to the physical body after having been out, as we normally are during sleep.

Totally agree xan

Yep, I do it too. :)

Thanks for the info guys. The running bit seems really interesting since I haven't had it in a while (had everything squared away in my life), so it does make sense!
