Did you know the Native American Indians believed our souls stepped in and out of physical reality through dreams? They believed dreams were just as real as the physical waking state. Your dream is very symbolic. In your dream, you were running away from terrifying fear, a feeling of being trapped and chased, a feeling of horror and hopelessness - which can be attributed to a feeling many people experience in life, in general. Then, when you got to your "breaking point" whether its falling out of the windows and hitting concrete, or reaching the top of the stairs, you were safe and you broke through to freedom. You don't need to hit rock bottom to reach heaven. I'll repeat that so your soul can hear me - You don't need to hit rock bottom to reach heaven. In simpler terms, life doesn't have to be hard in order to succeed. You can break free from the pain without a huge thud or fall. You can have a more simpler transition to an easier life by de-emphasizing the fear, or perhaps stop running from the fear. This also reminds me of the saying, heaven is right here if you want it to be, and hell is right here if you want it to be. By the way, East is a very spiritual direction. I don't even need to break that down for you, but the fact that you instinctually flew east means deep down inside you're telling yourself you know the right direction. The right direction in life, the right direction back to yourself, the right direction to happiness, etc. Trust yourself if you know the way in your life.
