Falling Flat on my face. What does it mean?
It means exactly what it says: "Falling flat on your face!" The dream uses the same METAPHORS as we use in waking language because the dream anticipates all that happens in waking. So watch out if someone stabs you in the back in your dream; someone will do the 'dirty' on you, betray you or gossip behind your back. If you dream riding on a cloud you will feel "on Cloud Nine" the next day; i.e. you will feel HIGH! It's as simple as that! Coming back to your own metaphor it means that you feel that whatever you have said did not strike a chord with the person you are addressing. Watch this dream and see what happens the day of the dream.
What does the quote: "You might as well fall flat on your face as lean over too far backward" mean?
If you fall flat on your face it means you have gone forward, plunged into something -- albeit unsuccessfully (since you fell!). Some, myself included, feel that tackling something is preferable to bending over backwards, that is, retreating or being far too accommodating so that you end up falling on your butt. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."
What does this Familly Guy joke mean?
Easy-T pretty much explains it. But I wouldn't worry about not getting Family Guy jokes. I like the show, but sometimes they spend a lot of effort setting up a joke and it just falls flat and really isn't that funny. And I'm Seth McFarlane's age, so I do at least get the references. But they do, as the expression goes, "beat a dead horse" a lot. Like on several episodes where Peter says, "Well, here's Conway Twitty," and then they show like THREE WHOLE MINUTES of a country song. Not only is that not funny, I think it's just a lazy way to fill up a show when the writers don't have any ideas. That's my two cents, anyways. Thanks for reading. And I do think some of the show is brilliant.

What does this quote mean?
It's better to press hard toward your goals and fail.(fall on your face, which hurts) Than it is to shy away from possible injury and never be great. (fall on your back, which doesn't really hurt, but has no forward motion)
I need help on HW due what does this mean, "Thou wit fall backward when thou hast more wit?" Shakespeare stuff
Juliet as a an infant fell flat on her face and cut her forehead - "broke her brow". One meaning is that when she's old enough she won't fall flat on her face if she falls over. "Fall" was a loaded word, consider the old phrase "a fallen woman". This meant pre-marital intercourse. The nurse's late husband made a joke of it and suggested that Juliet would "fall" on her back when she was old enough - "had more wit". The meaning was sexual. http://shakespeare.mit.edu/romeo_juliet/romeo_juliet.1.3.html
