ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of jumping in dreams?

Jumping can symbolise moments when you have to make a radical shift in your life. E.g.

"The woman on the Internet was really annoying me yesterday. She was blaming an innocent child. The language she used was terrible and she was so vicious. This lack of caring affects children. They grow up and turn out to have views just like their parents. How can such kids ever escape their parents"[Dream symbol - jump out of the pattern]

"I value my charity work. But I am also very tired often. It really does drain me. I want to show some discipline and start helping out again."[Dream symbol - I have to jump in and put the plug in place so the water doesn’t run out. ]

"I have a fantasy about this guy. I just wish he would take control and romance me. It would be just right and he would do everything. He would help calm me down and would recognise my innocence. It would be just perfect"[Dream symbol - I jump up, not wanting to be caught, and open the door to my three real life little sisters]

Jumping may link to your own prompt and quick response to some threat in your life. E.g.

"Well I think I have totally misinterpreted this woman at work. I thought she was being critical of me but she actually agrees with everything I was saying. Its just the endless questions that I was facing from her"[Dream symbol - It comes straight at me and I skillfully avoid it by jumping up ]

"I visited a friend yesterday. She has been having some bad luck. I think she is overwhelmed by it all" [Dream symbol - jump in to save her but the water was too deep.]

Jumping may show that you are acting decisively and making your own decisions. E.g.

"My mother wants me to take a very conservative career path. I want to go my own way and do what I want. But my choices are less commercial than hers. I am under a lot of pressure to do what she wants"[Dream symbol - They scattered easily when I jumped at them ]

"I am making some major changes to my life. I want to end my involvement with a group of people who are no longer in my best interests. I want to spend time on other things. This was a decisive moment and once this choice was made then it would be difficult to reverse. "[Dream symbol - I can jump across ]

"I realise that I have to take a more professional attitude towards work. I have been thinking too much about myself and my problems since leaving the cult. I need to take work seriously"[Dream symbol - someone young fell in the pool and I jumped in ]

Jumping may suggest a major change in your thinking. E.g.

"I have had many frighteningly accurate premonitions. Recently people have been trying to convince me that I should take a more positive view of them. But these scare me. I hate premonitions and they are not fun." [Dream symbol - jumped off the top floor of the building landing into an aquarium ]

Jumping may suggest that you have acted hastily or without thought in a fast moving situation. E.g.

"Yesterday I ignored someone I knew from my former job. I did not mean too. I had so many good friends there but as time passes by I seem to fall out of touch with so many of them." [Dream symbol - Suddenly a man runs very fast and jumps through a shop window. He smashes right through it. ]

"I was propositioned yesterday. Now I realise that my marriage is over. "[Dream symbol - I jumped down the vent and landed in the activities room]

"I have been thinking about my old friend from Australia. She is in the UK. I would really like to see her. I know its probably not likely to happen but I really really wish it could happen." [Dream symbol - I’m literally jumping on the brakes]

"I have been trying to nice to people around me. But I got into difficulty with my boss. I was trying to befriend her as I know that she is ill with cancer and been undergoing chemotherapy. She did not want anyone to help her."[Dream symbol - you could jump inside]

"I told my husband at marriage counseling that I felt that the good days during the previous week had been false. He took it in a bad way. He misinterpreted what I felt. Its pointless trying to bury issues. I think he was hurt because he felt that we had been doing so well."[Dream symbol - jumping down]

Jumping may suggest that you wish to prevent others acting hastily. E.g.

"I have been trying to change my teaching methods. In many ways I want my students to depend less on me. I want them to have confidence in their own abilities. I tried this out and yesterday the results were very good. I will try to develop this strategy. Too many times they simply give up" [Dream symbol - jumping to her certain death.]

Jumping may suggest that there is lots of activity and pressure around you. E.g.

"I just had to make a difficult decision about a weekend party I was invited to. I knew I wanted to go but something was telling me I shouldn’t and my friends were really wanting me to go. I have finally decided not to go and stay home this weekend and get some very important work done "[Dream symbol - My sister mocked my warning and did a run and jump into the water]

"I think this dream is a premonition of the next day. My sister in law asked me for some money to help sort out some troubles. This was getting out of hand and I really did not want to help. Before she asked for money I had been quite sympathetic"[Dream symbol - my sister in law comes running into my bedroom, jumps on my back, grabs me around the neck, and forces a pill into my mouth]

"I enjoyed last night but sometimes I wonder if my friends give me praise for my music without meaning it. I was terrible last night."[Dream symbol - grasshopper jumps onto the inchworm and slowly devours it]

Jumping may suggest that you are in the middle of fast moving circumstances. E.g.

"I have got so much disruption at home right now due to my sister who has run away from home. I have been trying to get some support from a friend but she just smiled and looked embarrassed when I told her. It was a bit pointless talking to her." [Dream symbol - I jumped into the street. Everything went slow motion ]

"My father made some promises he could not keep. I am learning not to trust what he says now as trusting him has created more problems"[Dream symbol - We both thought that the car was going to blow up any minute so we planned on jumping.]

"I am worried that my mother is going to stay in Japan. She has done that kind of thing before just left without saying anything"[Dream symbol - jumping from roof to roof]

"I have been so stressed at work recently. I still cannot get rid of all the tension and anxiety. When I woke up I thought it would have gone but I still cannot get rid of it. I just want to be able to think clearly and not be worn out" [Dream symbol - no one else jumps in to chase me]

"I do not feel like I am getting the support I wish for. I need some encouragement from people around me to help build my confidence"[Dream symbol - The doors of the elevators also open and close so rapidly that one has to jump in and out]

Jumping can link with quick thinking and clever use of the mind. E.g.

"I have to complete several essays this weekend. I have found it very interesting playing around with various concepts and ideas"[Dream symbol - my nephew jumps on my back and I am kind of play wrestling with him]

Jumping shows that you wish to make a real effort in doing something. E.g.

"I feel my husband needs to try harder with our son. I know he works long hours. But there are times when my son will need the help of his father. There are always moments when we cannot cope and need the guiding hand of a father" [Dream symbol - I screamed for my husband to jump in after him but my husband couldn’t catch up ]

Jumping may suggest that you have become excitable. E.g.

"My son tends to be very excitable. He can injure himself. I think he should take a lot more care of himself" [Dream symbol - telling him to calm down, stop playing and jumping because he needed to rest ]

Jumping can suggest radical changes of any variety. E.g.

"My friend committed suicide. I realise now that she was having major jumps in confidence. I should have spotted the signs"[Dream symbol - jumped from floor 9 to 52 to 13 ]
