What does it mean to dream of rocks and cliffs? Climbing, diving, falling from the rocks generally brings attention to real “rocks” to be faced. Even the expressions of common use, in fact, help to clarify the meaning of these “rocky” symbols that allude to the hardness of life to be overcome.
I would like to talk about one of the most common and recurrent dreams among people. Dreaming of falling and falling from something. Who has never happened? To me very often and I suddenly wake up just because of this feeling of emptiness, of falling, of having slipped or of impact or loss of balance.
I wake up with a “shake” sometimes even if I’m just asleep, I think I fall and I don’t always remember the dream. What does it mean to dream of falling into the void, in an abyss, what does it mean to dream of falling from a ravine or from the bed in which we are sleeping?
Today we analyze all the possible meanings that are often linked to the means by which we fall or to the place where we see ourselves falling into a dream.
Naturally I make a premise by immediately saying that dreams of this kind undoubtedly indicate fears, fears, feelings of not being at the height of life situations, little desire to do, a little productive but above all dispersive period.
The sensations and emotions that you feel when you dream of falling, falling are always of strong fear that makes us awaken instantly, maybe sweating and with your heart in your throat.
Dreams about Cliffs (Falling off a Cliff) – Meaning
Dreaming of rocks indicates the obstacles that are being faced: situations, people, relationships that are a problem for the dreamer, obstacles that need to be visualized in terms of their scope and influence to become aware of their capacity or inability to overcome them.
The meaning of the rocks in dreams contrasts with that of the island, a symbol of salvation and protection, while the rock represents the “enemy”.
The rock is a sort of sea monster, a threat that can only be overcome by recognizing its presence and the danger emphasized by its size, rough, sharp, slippery surfaces and unexpected surfacing under the surface of the water.
The impact with the rocks in dreams and in reality is dangerous, catastrophic, and lethal when it is the strength of the sea and the waves that provokes the clash and does not arise from a will and an a priori control.
While walking on the rocks, climbing, using them as a springboard to dive into the water is the same as knowing and facing the obstacles that at first sight appear risky and insuperable, but that can be tackled and overcome.
If the rocks are a symbol of the difficulties and dangers disseminated in the individual path, they are also a sort of alert, a signal of attention that compares the dreamer with aspects of his reality that he has perhaps underestimated and that the unconscious represents explicitly, connecting also to verbal expressions that indicate a difficulty in our culture.
For example: They are phrases that reflect the symbolic meanings mentioned above, but which also refer to inner movements of rigidity, regression, closure.
In fact, dreaming of rocks can also indicate the inner aspects of the dreamer who oppose some initiative, which crystallize in a closed, conservative immobility, hostile to changes and new possibilities.
Thus the hardness and the weight of the rocks reflect an identical internal hardness and heaviness that will need to be recognized to “overcome the rock”, that is to separate from this psychic self and guarantee new possibilities of choice.
Dream about a Cliff – Symbolism
Dreaming of a reef participates in the same meanings of the rock as it stands up like an impenetrable wall. It represents the emergence of repressive energies, a refusal to proceed or a truly insurmountable obstacle.
But sometimes the cliff in dreams presents itself as a symbol of an elevated vision and a different perspective from which things are evaluated.
Thus, dreaming of being at the base of the cliff can discourage and intimidate showing all its power and impenetrability, while being on top to observe the landscape can give a sense of power, hint at a new possibility and a new path or confirm a goal achieved.
Dreaming of unsurpassable reefs – when the rocks are imminent and seem insuperable the dream brings to light of the conscience the hostile energies of the enemy, the unexpressed fear, the block or the heaviness present in the dreamer or something objectively difficult that he is facing.
Dreaming of rocks on the sea – it means dealing with disowned energies or with the rigidity and habits of the primary selves that do not allow the dreamer to experience new possibilities.
From an objective point of view the rocks on the sea are the symbol of their difficulties and the obstacles they are facing.
Dreaming of rocks and rough seas – as above, but the image is linked to a more difficult situation, because it is influenced by emotions and inner disturbances that do not help to overcome it.
Dreaming of rocks under the water – it can be born as a signal from the unconscious and represent the hidden pitfall, something that is not evaluated, but that can be objectively harmful, or indicate the most rigid and conservative parts of the self that are surfacing to consciousness.
Dreaming of seeing rocks under the surface of the water, recognizing the risk, but knowing how to get around them or admiring their beauty and the forms of life they host, can be considered a thrust that comes from the depths, a movement that guides the dreamer from the unconscious towards new possibilities or towards one solution to his problems.
Dreaming of climbing on the rocks – it means striving to overcome an obstacle and to overcome a difficulty. It is a symbol of effort of effort, but also of will and decision and when you manage to climb to the top of the rock, to overcome it or find a comfortable position, here is the dream shows a goal a won difficulty. For popular interpretation it is a symbol of luck.
Dreaming of walking on the rocks with bare feet – it is linked to the lack of resources that prevents the dreamer from adequately facing his difficult reality. It may indicate naivety, an inability to foresee what must be faced, and an inability to protect oneself.
But when the sensations of the dream are positive, when dreaming of walking on the rocks with bare feet happens with ease and pleasure, the meaning changes radically and can be considered an encouragement to the dreamer, bringing out the ease with which he faces situations.
Dreaming of slipping off the rock – is a negative image linked to loss: loss of financial and emotional stability, loss of security and stable relationships. It can indicate a reckless and reckless attitude that leads to bad results.
Dreaming of diving off the rocks – reflects the courage with which we face reality. It indicates an uncomfortable and difficult position which, however, does not prevent the dreamer from continuing his journey but, on the contrary, offers him the necessary stimulus to proceed and fight. It is a symbol of audacity and, sometimes, of imprudence.
Dreaming of getting back on the rocks after a swim – it represents the strength and determination with which the difficulties and obstacles considered as part of life are faced. In some dreams it reflects the tendency to always repeat the same mistakes and to face the same difficulties.
Dreaming of a cliff – has meanings similar to those of the mountain, indicates the limits to be overcome, the fatigue of the climb, the danger of the fall, but also the “high” vision, detached from the ground (from material needs), the 360-degree perspective that allows us to evaluate all opportunities, the conquest of awareness, the control of instincts, freedom and spirituality.
Dreaming of going up a cliff – it means overcoming one’s fears and accessing a higher dimension: growth, maturity, spirituality, a new phase of life.
Dreaming of diving off a cliff – it can indicate imprudence or courage, recklessness or the need to approach more common and material aspects of existence. The sensations and the context of the dream will direct the analysis of the dream.
Dreaming of falling off the cliff – as for the fall from the rock in dreams it represents a failure and the loss of hope and self-confidence. It can also signal the loss of one’s social status, loss of influence and authority.
