You don\u2019t tell us much about your husband\u2019 condition, but we gather his illness is severe, and possibly life-threatening.<\/p>\n<p>Dreams of falling almost always reflect feelings of being out of control &#8211; of not knowing \u201cwhere we are going to land.\u201d When we have a falling dream, we are encouraged to look for areas in our lives where we feel especially powerless. In your case, it is not difficult to see the link between your husband\u2019s sudden illness and your dreams of being in a \u201cfree fall.\u201d In both cases, the future is unknown &#8211; and frightening.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, dreams of being chased often symbolize attempts to avoid threatening feelings or awarenesses. For example, we can feel \u201cchased\u201d by an awareness that we rather would not confront. With your husband seriously ill, you may wish to avoid many of the consequences of his illness.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s natural to doubt yourself in the face of life\u2019s mysterious challenges. What\u2019s the message of this dream? It\u2019s time to summon your will to rise to the occasion. The future is going to be challenging &#8211; and will require all your skills to stay balanced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Back to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/falling-and-being-chased-2\/\" id=\"590\" option=\"com_content\">original dream<\/a><br \/><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Back to list of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/common-dreams\/\" id=\"27\" option=\"com_content\">common dreams<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[2958,3026],"class_list":["post-35603","articles","type-articles","status-publish","hentry","category-common-dreams-answer","category-copy-of-falling"],"acf":{"article_id":"581"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles\/35603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/articles"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
