Dream Guide · Actions & Events
What does dreaming about falling mean in the Bible?
Losing control — upheld by an everlasting hand
Falling dreams are among the most common, and they usually speak of losing control or fearing failure. Scripture answers precisely there: though he stumble, he will not fall headlong, for the Lord upholds him with His hand. God is able to keep you from falling — and to catch you when your foot slips. In the SoulGuide Dream Guide, falling is filed under actions & events — one of 54 symbols in the guide — and is answered with 3 King James Version passages quoted in full: Psalms 37:24, Jude 1:24, Psalms 94:18. Each passage below carries a short note explaining why it applies to falling, so the entry can be read on its own without the rest of the guide.
