The phrase "falling higher and higher" in "The Things They Carried" represents the contradictory feelings of being emotionally burdened by memories and experiences of Vietnam War while also feeling a sense of freedom and elevation from the weight of those burdens. It conveys the complex and conflicting emotions that the soldiers in the story are grappling with.
