      Greetings,

      Since childhood, how early I cannot even remember, I have had dreams involving falling, but especially ones where I am driven off a cliff. The car I am in loses control and.. it's so vivid, I have trouble knowing whether it is a dream, too. I've had times I questioned it but it was so real I thought "this time it's really happening.. and I'm going to die."

      Well anyway, this dream has me quite afraid of cliffs.. but only in a car. I am so not afraid of heights in other situations. Respectful of a potentially deadly drop, yes, but afraid? not so long as I'm steady and on my feet. Then I know I won't fall. Yet logic just doesn't stop my being afraid of my dream turning reality. So I have two problems, one being that I've been having this recur for such a long time and just plain not go away, nor can I control what's happening like other nightmares. The second is the phobia this has created.

      Is there a solution?
      well wishes,
      lily

      In fact we all are going to die one day this way or another. Life full of fear is not a life, and besides what's the good of thinking about the death. You'd better concentrate on how to improve your current affairs, so maybe this dream is a warning that you should be more cautious.

      In those recurring dreams have you usually sat by the wheel?

      I'm tired being sorry.

      When I was a kid, it was always my mother, and when I got older and started driving, that changed. I am usually the driver now in my dreams. But I don't know.. if it's all about dying. Because not all of the dreams involve dying. Once the car landed and I was perfectly safe and began exploring the area we landed in. Sometimes I wake up when the car goes off the road. I've always figured it was about control. The wheels of a car can be hard to control, since when you are in the car you can't see them to know exactly where they are. If someone else is driving, then I can't control the car at all.

      And for being cautious, behind the wheel I am usually very careful. It isn't just the possibility of my making mistakes but, a lot of OTHER drivers around my godforsaken town drive crazy. I've had a few close calls where being cautious has saved my life or at the least a few limbs.
      well wishes,
      lily

      As you say that is not about dying. It's about controling you waking life intensity. While you're by the wheel it is all up to you BUT, when it comes too close to a "cliff" you're no more in control of the car, your life's affairs are at risk ...
      That's what I meant being cautious.

      Now is 2 a.m. in Europe, my mind gets slower in reasoning...so maybe I also go to bed and who knows? A sort of crazy driving in my dreams?
