Pit
A pit — a deep hole to peer into or fall down — often touches silly risks in business and calamity in the falling, though waking as you fall brings you out fairly whole. The dream may ask where you're courting a dangerous drop, and whether you're knowingly risking health and fortune for the sake of some greater success.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for pit, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
If you are looking into a deep pit in your dream, you will run silly risks in business ventures and will draw uneasiness about your wooing.
To fall into a pit denotes calamity and deep sorrow. To wake as you begin to feel yourself falling into the pit, brings you out of distress in fairly good shape.
To dream that you are descending into one, signifies that you will knowingly risk health and fortune for greater success.
