Dreaming About Cliff
What it means
A cliff usually marks the edge of a big decision — the moment before a leap, where excitement and fear meet. It often appears when you sense a change you are not sure you are ready for.
In more detail
Standing at the edge without jumping is normal — the dream may simply be showing you the size of the choice. Choosing to step back is as valid as leaping. Often the cliff is asking what you would do if you trusted yourself to land.
