Falling indicates that you are feeling out of control about something in your life.  You feel that you are headed towards harm or destruction and have no way of protecting yourself.  You may feel out of control about your job, or unable to control how people are reacting towards you.  The circumstances in your life seem to be determining your destiny, rather than you choosing it.
