Parachute
To dream of a parachute represents your wish to bail out of a situation or project that is under way. A need to escape something or have a "soft landing" in troubling situation. Safely exiting a complicated relationship. It may also reflect your preparations for trouble or a backup plan "just in case." Backup plans for problems or difficult social situations.
Negatively, a parachute may reflect a safe escape to situations where you need to explain your actions. Excuses to avoid a troubling or uncomfortable situation.
To dream of opening a parachute may represent a sense of safety or security in a situation that feels risky or uncertain. It may symbolize taking precautions to avoid a potential disaster, or feeling the need to take control of a situation in order to prevent a negative outcome. This dream may also suggest a need for a safety net or a backup plan in order to feel more secure in life.
Example: A woman dreamed of using a parachute. In waking life she was trying very hard to safely maintain her friendship with a boyfriend she was breaking up with. She wanted to break up and "bail out" of the relationship trouble free.
Example 2: A man dreamed of a pig with a parachute on. In waking life he was having trouble with a project at work and was considering "bailing out" of the project as safely as he could.
Example 3: A woman dreamed of preparing to use a parachute to jump out of a plane. In waking life she just finished a 21 day fast with her church. The parachute in this case may have reflected her feelings about wanting to safely abandon the group church fast.
