Falling off of cliff of your dreams
It seems like you’ve lost control over the thing that worked out best for you.

These dreams tend to be common when it comes to losing control over the important part of a dreamer’s life.
Maybe you have pushed your boundaries to the limits where it started to be dangerous and too risky, but maybe you have also got to a point where you can no longer force the circumstances to fit your standards.Another thing that could be the meaning of your dream of falling off the cliff is that you are finally one step away from reaching your most desired goal, and what frightens you the most is the fact that it could all fall apart if you make just one wrong step.
Are you saying someone has been pushing you off the cliff in your dream?
Well, falling off the cliff is one thing, but being pushed is another. If you were dreaming that someone has tried or even succeeded to push you off a cliff, then you need to seriously evaluate your working atmosphere and perhaps even the people who claim to be your friends. There could be a lot of venomous and envious people around you, not supportive and doing things behind your back.

You’re up to the challenge and you have set up the right equipment, just to be sure you will succeed. A leap of faith is all you need. You can do this.
Seeing someone on a cliff. Dreams can be risky to others too

Another point of view could be that you are simply jealous of other people’s success. There is no need for this, all you have to do is work hard just as others do, and you could be even better.
