Precipice
A precipice — a sheer, yawning drop — often touches the threat of misfortune and calamity, with engulfing disaster in falling over. The dream may ask where you're standing at a dangerous edge, and whether you can step back from the brink in time or feel yourself already tipping toward a fall you won't be able to stop once it begins.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for precipice, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of standing over a yawning precipice, portends the threatenings of misfortunes and calamities.
To fall over a precipice, denotes that you will be engulfed in disaster.
