Dream about falling off a building

Falling off a building is a dream of the ground giving way beneath the weight of what you have built. It speaks of a moment when the standing you have achieved among your people or the height of your worldly affairs cannot hold you any longer. When we seek to climb or to hold a place of prominence, we risk the sudden descent that comes when the foundation fails.

This descent is often a sign of a sudden change in how you are seen by the household or the neighbors. You may feel the swiftness of a position slipping from your grasp, which leaves you feeling the loss of the height you once held. This fall is a heavy thing because it marks a departure from the stability you have known. There is a truth in the way you have stood, and there is a truth in the way you land. May the strength of those who came before you provide a firm footing when the path becomes steep.

Being pushed off a building changes the dream from a failure of your own footing to a blow dealt by others. This means the loss of your standing is not a matter of your own making, but comes from the hands of those around you.

A tall building makes the descent more sudden, as if the very rank you have climbed is being pulled down in a single moment.

Almost falling off a building is a different sign, for it shows a crisis that is passed before the fall can take you. It tells you that although your footing has slipped, you are still held by what is solid.

Seeing someone fall from a building turns the dream toward the lives of those you watch. You are looking upon the collapse of another’s place in the world, which shows how easily a person can lose their way.
