The roof is the top of a building; in this way it connects to the mind and thoughts in the consciousness that the building represents.
If the roof is not in good shape, then elements from the outside will get in in a way that can be damaging.
If this is the case, you may feel that you are not protected from the thoughts of other people interfering with your own ideas about things.
If you are standing on the roof in a dream, you desire to get a higher vantage point by connecting to the highest level of thoughts you can have about a situation. This higher vantage point is a powerful place to be, but it also puts you in the position of being able to fall off, so a dream about falling from a roof connects to the risk associated with having vision.
If the roof is in disrepair, your thoughts are not in alignment or are out of integrity.
