Cliff

The edge of known ground; decision imminent.

FolkJungian

The cliff is the edge of known ground. Jungian analysis reads cliff-dreams as decisions rendered geological: the point where one’s current path has run out of land. Standing at a cliff’s edge is the most common version; jumping is sometimes genuine release, sometimes despair; being pushed often signals a change being forced from outside. Notice what is below: sea, forest, clouds, or void each carry different teachings.
