I'm hoping for a bit of insight. Two heads are better than one, and a dozen are likely better than two (unless they form a committee). I've been having variations on the same nightmare for about 4 years now. I dream that I'm falling off of a wall, a precipice, a ledge, a building, a mountain or whatever. Generally it wake me up. I have been diagnosed with PTSD from violent and stressful incidences. I also had a kundalini opening spontaneously at around the time that this got to be an issue. Normally with PTSD you have nightmares, but they are nightmares about the issues causing the PTSD. I've never fallen off of a ledge or anything, so it seems to me that the falling is symbolic. But I'm not an expert on dream interpretation. One of my teachers gave me a charm with a sigil on it that I've kept beside my bed since and has prevented the nightmare for most of the past two years, but it seems to have stopped working. I'm going to pop in to his place sometime soon and see if the charm needs recharging or renewing or whatever. But I like to examine things from different angles and see if anything else helps. I'm on a waiting list to join a PTSD group, but while I'm waiting I was wondering if there might be something that I'm missing or should know that might be obvious to someone else. I'm smart enough however we often don't have good perspective on ourselves. I've often been lucky in having the right people around to give me the answers I've needed. It isn't something that is life threatening, but it is annoying and I seem to be stuck.

Good news is that I'm back in kungfu class and learning a new martial art. I believe that it is good for my concentration. I'm exchanging lessons with the teacher by teaching him taiji. (We're old qigong partners) The bad news is that it hurts a lot more than when I was younger. lol The class is full of young, fit students who are leaving me with a lot of bruises and giving me a refreshment course in humility. I can probably use it.
