Dream About Someone Else Falling
Detailed Interpretation
Someone else falls—not you, but you watch them descend. You witness their fall without falling yourself. This represents watching someone else's descent, their loss, their fall.
Who falls? Known person suggests concern for them specifically. Unknown person might represent aspect of yourself or general fall. The faller's identity matters.
Can you help? Reaching for them suggests trying to save. Unable to help suggests powerless witness. Choosing not to help suggests allowing the fall.
Watching another fall might be projection—your fall fears externalized onto them. Or it might be genuine concern for someone whose position is precarious.
The helplessness of watching is key. You see the fall but can't prevent it. Where do you feel this helpless witness to someone else's descent?

- Watching many people fall: Mass descent; widespread falling; collective loss.
