Dreaming of diving from a high place - dream meaning with inherited lore
This may reflect wanting to take the plunge while holding fear and anticipation at once, before a major decision.
You stand on a high diving board or at the edge of a cliff, looking down at the water. You hesitate before jumping, or the tension just before the jump lingers.
Korean lore: Traditionally, jumping from a high place into water is sometimes seen as choosing a major change or taking a risk. The interpretation may differ depending on whether you entered the water safely or were unable to jump. (In folk dream interpretation, scenes of descending from a high place are sometimes read as reflecting a change in your current position or a period leading up to a major decision.)
Through the mind: You may be feeling unsettled before a choice that seems difficult to undo, such as becoming independent, leaving your job, or moving. The scene may express both the courage to take the plunge and the fear of not wanting to fail.
