Dreaming of Jumping

jumping, hopping, vaulting · mixed

Jumping over an obstacle promises success; falling back or jumping off a wall brings setbacks.

What happens in the dream

  • Jumping over something: you'll succeed in every endeavour
  • Jumping and falling back: unpleasant affairs will make life almost unbearable
  • Jumping down from a wall: reckless speculation and disappointment in love

How you felt

  • Momentum: the dream often reflects a wish to take the next step
  • Apprehension: fear of failing the leap

Ask yourself

  • Which obstacle do I want to clear?
  • Are my risks well judged?
