Dreams about actions and situations

Falling

In later sleep, falling tends to accompany situations where support has been withdrawn: a job, a relationship, a certainty.

Being chased

The standard reading is that the pursuer represents something being avoided in waking life. What is chasing you matters more than the chase — a stranger, an animal and a person you know point in different directions.

Flying

Effortless flight tends to accompany periods of confidence; struggling to stay airborne accompanies the opposite. Height often tracks perceived control.

Being naked in public

Frequently accompanies impostor feelings, new jobs and public roles. Notably, in many such dreams nobody else reacts.

Being lost

Familiar places that have become unnavigable are the most telling version: the surroundings have not changed, your ability to read them has.
