What does "the fall" mean to me?


Have you ever been asleep and felt like you're falling? Or been asleep and woken yourself up because your body moved in real life? For me, it's a horrible experience waking up from a dream because you think you've fallen and so i decided to research falling dreams to get the true message behind it.
One theory is that in your waking life you are facing anxiety and insecurities and so have restless dreams when sleeping. Another is that your brain is more relaxed than the muscles in your body and so you face muscle spasms. Now in your head you may think you've fallen or been hurt but your body is still functioning and so you may experience a jerk that wakes you up.
I think its so interesting how our mind works and illustrating a story in a dream through falling asleep could make my film enter any kind of world i would want it - after all a dream is a figment of the imagination in itself!
