Dropping – Dreaming about dropping something symbolizes the need or danger of losing an item or idea. It indicates the need for protecting your things and acting on ideas before the moment is lost to someone or something else. If you dream about dropping from a height, see falling. If you dream about someone else dropping something it could mean that a fortune is going to come to you from someone else or it might otherwise mean that something bad is going to happen to them. Dropping things might also indicate freedom from slavery, whether that slavery is to money or possessions or something else, like ideas.
