Medicine Wheel Meanings:

- Huichol shamans: wisdom

Artemidoros Meanings:

Fire is functionally distinguished in two different kinds:

• firstly the heaven and divine,
• secondly the earth and the one which is used in everyday life.

In the interpretation of the heaven fire you have to proceed as follows:

• to look at radiant, pure and small fire in the sky means a threat from power,
• however, a large but immeasurable predicts the approach of enemies, infertility and famine (to parallel the Babylonian astrology ).

Enemies and Danger Where the fire appears or from which direction it comes, whether from north or south, from west or east, from there the enemies will come near or rule infertility in these areas. Worst of all is, when you see falling down fire on the earth. Burning torches in the sky mean the same. All these phenomena bring on danger over the head of the dreamer. Because like the sky (above-ground) towers above the universe, so the head – the body.

Looking at the fire, which is used in everyday life, with small and pure flame, it is like blessing, but if it blazes enormously and unrestrained, it shows the evil.

• Prosperity The best to see is hearth fire – glow and pure. It means great prosperity, because where meals aren’t prepared the fire is pure;
• Poverty You cannot see the fire on the stove if it expires then it threatens grinding poverty;
• Success To dream that you carry a burning torch at night, it is positive especially for young people. It usually means pleasant love affairs and successful businesses, because you can see what is in front of your feet;
• Wellness The ethereal fire brings good luck, particularly to sick persons, it is to them as a sign of the rescue and salvation.

General Meanings:

In general the dream about falling indicates insecurities, unstable life and fears of the dreamer.

Falling dream interpretation by S.Freud
According to S.Freud the dream about the falling represents decreased libido and sexual needs. The dreamer has much lower sexual needs than he had before. There are some factors that lowered the desire to get a pleasure or the dreamer avoids the actual sexual intercourse with someone, therefore while feeling the pressure he keeps dreaming about falling. It could also show depreciation of his own powers, when in reality the performance of sexual intercourse is made perfectly.

The dream of falling influenced by internal stimulus
The falling is mostly dreamed by the first stage of the sleep. At this stage of the sleep, people who dream of falling are affected by spasms of muscles such as legs, arms and the rest of the body. Usually when people dream of falling at first stage of the dream, they wake up immediately because of the protection the conscious mind causes for not to harm yourself while suffering the spasms of the muscles.

Falling in dreams caused by the fear
Everybody has insecurities and some of them make stronger influence than other ones. There is a possibility that the dreamer does not like some parts of his appearance. It is also possible that the dreamer has the fear of particular person, upcoming event, job he is doing or the situation he is in at the moment. The pressure, strain and stress are felt during the day, therefore, the dreamer can not have a proper sleep and rest.
