Ever Wonder Why Falling in Dreams Feels So Real?

Last night, I had this vivid dream where I was slipping off a steep cliff.
The panic, the rush—like my stomach dropped and everything slowed down simultaneously.
Waking up, I couldn't help but feel a mix of relief and strange curiosity.
Do these dreams happen because we’re afraid of losing control or maybe just stress sneaking into our subconscious?
It’s weird how our minds create such intense scenarios that feel almost real.
Sometimes I wonder if falling in a dream is just our brain’s way of telling us to hold on tighter to what matters.
