Ground – The ground is a powerful dream symbol. It is the thing in our psyche that supports us and makes us safe. It is also a dream symbol of our limitations. If you dream of running away from an enemy and you fall to the ground, this indicates a subconscious feeling that you are not able to conquer your own fears, and that your life can literally beat you into the ground. If you dream of getting up off the ground, this is a great victory! It shows that you feel more in control of your life than you were before.
