Dizzy Giddy Vertigo

Losing your sense of balance, of relationship with others, and the world. Fear of falling, sense of strain, or being on the edge of falling in love, out of love, or into inner consciousness.

This might indicate a feeling that you are bombarded by new impression or changes. The sense of balance in relationship with others, and the world. Fear of falling, sense of strain, or being on the edge of falling in love, out of love, or into inner consciousness.

The sense of strain causing us to feel dizzy in dreams is shown in the following example.

Example:  It was at our coming convention (I am running for president of our organization). I could see the crowded convention room, dimmed with smoke. I had been furiously taking minutes (I’m secretary) and had got up to speak on a topic that concerned me–I don’t know what it was, but I was passionately sure they were all wrong–I got up to talk, feeling dizzy and tired, but made my point and went out for air, feeling utterly exhausted and beyond caring if the convention took my advice or not. One of the boys was outside–someone I’d met before–I was almost in hysterics by then and shaking–he took me in his arms and held me, then we sat down and I leaned on his shoulder and after awhile he kissed me gently. By then, feeling very tranquil.

Being unready to face a new experience can also cause dizzyness in dreams. A woman who dreamt of a dizzying flight on a spaceship describes it as, “The “very advanced spaceship” is my body/mind. The flight represents sex, and also on a larger level my whole life, creativity, etc. I don’t want to “go all the way” to the moon on the first flight, and they tell me I won’t, but then we do. This feels like the way I jumped into sex, intercourse, with no preparation, no years of slow making out or extended foreplay. In my recollection of the dream I am not clear whether it is on the space-ship (some part of myself) who is responsible for this decision. Similarly, in waking life, it was both of us who were responsible for it. The flight could be exciting and beautiful-the stars spin by the window-but it makes me dizzy and nauseous because I am not ready for it.

Dizzyness can also be about losing control or feeling control slipping away. At a very practical level it might be indicating that you have an ear infection, or that wax in your ears is interfering with your organs of balance.

But if it is a waking experience, it is best to try the Epley manoeuvre.

Useful questions:

Do I need to have my ears checked to see if wax or infection is leading to dizziness?

Am I feeling in a whirl of impressions and experiences?

Is the solid ground of my experience being disturbed?

Am I reacting to meeting unconscious material. See Reaction to unconscious
