I've always had dreams where I was falling. You probably have had those too but I've been having them a lot lately. The best advice that I've been given is to consciously brave those dreams out and see them through. I'm bad at trying to control circumstances occuring in my dreams. I never even thought it was possible but I've already tried it twice so it is, after all, possible. But it's hard to do and I end up with a headache.

This morning, I tried to look up what the dream meant. I clicked on the very first link that I saw and here's what it says:

Falling dreams are another theme that is quite common in the world of dreams. Contrary to a popular myth, you will not actually die if you do not wake up before your hit the ground during a fall.

This is true. Else, I'm a zombie.

As with most common dream themes, falling is an indication of insecurities, instabilities, and anxieties. You are feeling overwhelmed and out of control in some situation in your waking life. This may reflect the way you feel in your relationship or in your work environment. You have lost your foothold and can not hang on or keep up with the hustle and bustle of daily life.

True as well.

When you fall, there is nothing that you can hold on to. You more or less are forced toward this downward motion without any control. This lost of control may parallel a waking situation in your life. Falling dreams also often reflect a sense of failure or inferiority in some circumstance or situation. It may be the fear of failing in your job/school, loss of status, or failure in love.You feel shameful and lack a sense of pride. You are unable to keep up with the status quo or that you don't measure up.

You understand, this is all an euphemism for: Buckle up, loser.

According to Freudian theory, dreams of falling indicate that you are contemplating giving into a sexual urge or impulse. You maybe lacking indiscretion.

Stop right there. Maybe lacking in indiscretion. Now this is me, right down to the period in the end. Maybe what I need right now is indiscretion and I'll be alright.

So here's my Be Indiscreet: Get a Good Night's Sleep Project:

1. Blatantly cheat on the boyfriend. Ask a lot of men (and possibly women) to call me up during the wee hours of the night. When asked where I'm going, say, "With someone you don't know." Wink while saying it to heighten suspicion.

2. Strategically place computer on cubicle. Enable total visual access for everyone. Let officemates and top honchos know that all I do all day long is surf the net, looking for things that interest me.

3.Tell mentally challenged applicants to shut up forever.

4. Tell people about my college escapades during non-exclusive parties. (Like one time, in EIC camp...)

5. Pick my nose in public.

6. When wearing a skirt, don't forget to splay legs as far apart as they would go.

7. Dance to the Stones' Beast of Burden. On the street. At rush friggin' hour.

8. Spill all the secrets I know.

9. Laugh boisterously in a library.

10. Run for office.
