Standing on the edge of a cliff is a dream where the brain rehearses the sensation of a boundary between stability and a sudden drop. This dream serves to process the feeling of being at a threshold where the ground beneath the feet meets an abrupt end. The mind uses this imagery to test the dreamer’s response to a state of extreme vulnerability.
Precariousness arrives when the dream brings the dreamer close to the drop. This position shows that life has reached a point where a single error carries consequence. There is a certain clarity in knowing exactly where the safety ends.
The experience of being on the edge of a cliff moves the focus away from the stability of the feet and toward the nature of the boundary itself. This change in the dream turns a question of balance into a confrontation with a sudden end. The dreamer is confronted with the exact point where the familiar world ceases to provide support.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
