If you dream of peering down into a deep pit, it suggests you are about to take poorly calculated risks in business, and that anxiety may also be creeping into your personal relationships. Falling into a pit in a dream points to serious misfortune and profound emotional pain. If you jolt awake just as you begin to fall, however, the dream suggests that you will narrowly navigate your way out of a difficult situation with your dignity mostly intact. If you dream of deliberately climbing down into a pit, it reflects a conscious willingness to gamble with your health or resources in pursuit of a larger goal.
