Dreaming about falling leaves
What does it mean to dream about leaves falling?
Leaves are one of the few things dreams reliably show in motion, and falling leaves are reported far more than leaves on a tree.
That is worth noticing because motion is expensive for a dream to generate. Dreams give completed states far more readily than changes in progress, which the flood, doll and crack entries all describe.
So this joins a short list of exceptions: the spreading crack, the unravelling thread, the lizard that goes, and this. What they share, if anything, is not settled, though all four involve something extending or separating along a simple path.
Dreamers describe watching rather than doing anything, which is unusual in itself.
Where this reads well
Another entry in a genuinely puzzling exception list, and worth recording carefully.
Where it is harder
None.
Worth asking yourself
Did I watch it happen? Was I doing anything? How long did it go on?
Dream interpretation is subjective. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prediction, or medical advice.
