And some people have dreams where, instead of hitting the ground, they just keep on falling &#8211; right through the earth &#8211; until they are deep underground, and their dreams move on to new adventures! \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span color=\"#000000\" face=\"verdana,geneva\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: verdana,geneva;\">This \u201cfolklore\u201d about dreams most likely is the result of the common observation that most people, when they dream about falling, usually wake up suddenly &#8211; just before they hit the earth. Naturally this has led some people to wonder&#8230;. What would happen if I really hit the earth? Would I be hurt? Would I die? \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span color=\"#000000\" face=\"verdana,geneva\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: verdana,geneva;\">Another common \u201cmyth\u201d about dreams is that &#8211; if we dream of dying &#8211; then we will die in real life. But this isn\u2019t true either. People dream of dying all the time &#8211; it\u2019s a very common dream. \u201cDead\u201d dreamers watch their funerals, they see their relatives and loved ones after they have passed on &#8211; and then they wake up, warm and toasty in their beds &#8211; very much alive &#8211; and wondering about that strange dream they just had! \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span color=\"#000000\" face=\"verdana,geneva\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: verdana,geneva;\">Thanks for writing in with a good question!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Back to the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/hit-the-ground-2\/\" id=\"1318\" option=\"com_content\">original dream<\/a> <br \/><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Back to<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/teen-dream-library\/\" id=\"1381\" option=\"com_content\"><span style=\"color: purple;\">teen dream library<\/span><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[3208,3207],"class_list":["post-36214","articles","type-articles","status-publish","hentry","category-answers","category-teen-dreams"],"acf":{"article_id":"1214"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles\/36214","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=36214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
