In Salvador Dali's living still life, is the knife falling ?

In this painting, is the knife falling from the table or is it hovering in mid-air ?

Please answer
It doesn't look like it is falling from the table because of its shadow and also because why would it be falling if everything else wasn't

Many of Dali's paitings are dream interpretations related to Freudian theory of the fear of castration (which signifies a loss of manhood, and subsequent loss of power and control). If you notice in this painting, the knife points towards an apple which is directly in front of what looks like a penis. You will also notice that the cast shadow of the knife on the table cloth would indicate that the knife is too far in front of the table to assume that it fell of of it, rather that it is moving unnaturally through space (like in a dream perhaps), and it could be that it is in fact moving towards the fallace (castration). So no, it is not falling off the table.
