Dreaming of Falling

떨어지는 꿈 tteoreojineun-kkum

Korean grandmothers had a gentle reading for this one that most lists never mention: it is a growing dream.

The old reading

Tradition read falling as the body letting go of tension — and in children, as a sign of growing. Not a warning at all.

The deeper layer

Haemong reads the moment you wake. Waking before you land is read as strength still held. Landing, and being unhurt, is read as a fear met and survived.

It also reads what you fell from. Height in a dream is standing — a role, a position, an expectation. Falling from one asks whether you were holding it or it was holding you.

A small Korean customStand with both feet flat on the floor for a slow count of ten before you get up. A small, old way of telling the body it landed.
