Falling vs Pregnancy

Falling

Falling dreams are nearly universal and typically reflect feelings of anxiety, loss of control, or insecurity. They often occur during times of stress, major life changes, or when feeling overwhelmed. Contrary to the myth, you can 'hit the ground' in a falling dream without dying — it often simply means the dream continues in a new form. Some researchers suggest falling dreams may also be related to the hypnic jerk that occurs during sleep onset.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy dreams represent something new developing in your life — a project, idea, relationship, or aspect of self that is gestating and growing. Both men and women have pregnancy dreams. The stage of pregnancy may indicate how far along this 'new thing' is in development. These dreams often appear when embarking on creative projects.
