Parachute failed but I survived!

I dreamed I was doing a skydive and had to unravel the parachute by hand in mid-air when I was ready for it to deploy. I did this successfully though it managed to end up scrunched up again moments later and I ended up falling to the ground thinking I was going to die. I didn't die, but the first person on the scene told me not to expect to walk for at least six months. Anyway, I ignored them, stood up and walked off feeling a bit sore but otherwise perfectly okay!

Perhaps this was telling me I should be taking more leaps of faith in life as the consequences won't be nearly as painful as I imagine, and that I should not let others' doubts of what is possible influence my belief of what I can achieve.
