Trepidation

Keeter C

Fall
Why do I dream of a fall?
Nightmares of a precipice? 
Or a dark deep hole sucking me in? 
A elevated cliff drawing and calling me. 
Where is the psychologist or therapist qualified to diagnose me. 
These dreams persist nightly. 
What is my subconscious trying to tell me?

    Nightmare feeling to have, like being in a vacuum of darkness, nicely expressed

    • Keeter C

      Thanks but I wish it would go away.

        I have lived in and out of it for many years, can only wish you all the best

        Well expressed the fear of falling basophobia akin to acrophobia many suffer from and some would interpret in various ways Freudian, Jungian on and on. Is it biological, psychological who knows but debilitating at times. Nicely written

          I wish it would leave me. In my youth I climbed every ride in a theme park where I worked. Never a harness or a fear.
          It makes me live my awake life waiting for the other shoe to drop.

              We are very complicated creatures. The ID and the subconscious end up reading different pages sometimes.
