A falling lamb in a dream drops from height—lamb central, scene and emotion lead. Snippet lead: falling lamb dreams symbolize innocence under drops from height—witness, rescue, shame, or release scenes anchored to lamb, not generic omen. Compare lamb, dead lamb.

Human relation — Pet, predator, herd member, or pest—your role toward lamb matters. Ecology hint — Habitat in the dream (home, forest, water) grounds the lamb in waking context.
