Have you ever heard the rumor, "If you fall off a cliff in your dream and actually hit the bottom you will die"?

Many people have dreams of falling off a cliff or falling out of nowhere and suddenly waking up before hitting the bottom. These dreams can occur at any given time. I have often dreamed of falling just as I dozed off watching television. Usually my eyes open just before I reach the bottom of the 'Pit'. But one summer day I spent the whole day trimming the garden. I was very tired and made myself a Dr. Pepper. I laid on the sofa with one leg on and the other on the floor. I watched the news and rested from all the chores I had completed outside. My eyes were burning and the lids became very heavy. I sat my cold drink on the coffee table and closed my eyes. It only took seconds and I was off in dream land. This dream began minutes after I fell asleep.

I found myself falling down through the air. I was screaming and scarred that I would hit the bottom. It seemed I was falling for several minutes. Suddenly I hit the bottom. I felt the extreme pain and could hardly breathe. I looked around and saw tall mountains. I patted down my body all over to see if I was still in one piece. "Yes I am all here;” I thought to myself and started grinning. My grin grew and my face could hardly bare the smile. I found myself energized by the thought that I had just proven the old superstition that when you’re dreaming of falling you always wake up before you hit the ground. But not this lady, I hit the ground I am here smiling and 'man, I feel invincible'.
