Premonition

When we have a premonition in a dream, it may not necessarily materialise. Sometimes it must be taken symbolically. To dream of a fall down a ladder may easily symbolise apprehension with regard to the loss of your job, failure in marriage, or losing the esteem of others. A premonition of a drowning son may symbolise the feeling that hopes in life are being drowned by anxiety. But of course, a few such dreams do predict actual events. There is usually a particular tone about such dreams that one can learn to notice. It is usually very clear and direct.
