To see anything hanging above you, and about to fall, implies danger; if it falls upon you it may be ruin or sudden disappointment. If it falls near, but misses you, it is a sign that you will have a narrow escape from loss of money, or other misfortunes may follow.
Should it be securely fixed above you, so as not to imply danger, your condition will improve after threatened loss.
