Okay, so, I’ve been having this recurring dream lately, you know, the one where the elevator just plummets? It’s freaky, right? I decided I needed to figure out what was up, so I did some digging. Here’s what I did and what I found out.
My Deep Dive into Falling Elevator Dreams
First, I grabbed my phone and opened up my trusty dream journal app. I started logging every single detail I could remember. The feel of the buttons, the other people in the elevator (if any), the speed of the fall, and most importantly, how I felt during the whole thing.
I did this for about a week. Every morning, straight after waking up, I wrote everything down. It was kinda annoying at first, but I figured it was worth it if it helped me understand this crazy dream.
Then, I started hitting up the internet. I typed in “falling elevator dream meaning” into Google and, well, let’s just say there’s a LOT of stuff out there.
- Some websites talked about feeling a lack of control in your life.
- Others mentioned anxiety and fear of failure.
- A few even suggested it could be related to financial worries.
I read through a bunch of articles and forums, trying to find something that resonated with me. Honestly, some of it felt like a stretch, but the “lack of control” and “anxiety” stuff did kinda make sense.
Next, I decided to get a little more introspective. I spent some time just thinking about my life. What’s been going on lately? Where am I feeling stressed or overwhelmed? I jotted down some notes in my regular journal, just free-writing whatever came to mind.
I had been feeling overwhelmed by work and the impending doom of bills that never cease.
I was thinking about quitting the job I hated so bad, and that feeling of falling was similar to the feeling of falling into the unknown, I was out of control.
After all this, I think I have a better handle on it. My falling elevator dream seems to be tied to my general stress and the feeling that things are a bit out of my control right now. It’s not a perfect answer, but it’s a start. I’m going to keep paying attention to my dreams and see if anything changes. I’ll also probably try to work on managing my stress a bit better. Maybe some yoga or something? We’ll see!
