No really…I want to talk about dreams. Not like aspirations…but crazy weird dreams….
I have always had really vivid dreams….very detailed, amazing locations…..have always enjoyed them.
Lately however one recurring theme in all the dreams I keep having is starting to creep me out.
Perhaps all you folks can help me out with this.
Lately, no matter what the dream story is or where I am or who I am or what I am doing….something unsettling creeps in….I can’t walk.
I can walk…hobble…but stairs are nigh impossible and if I am on the ground, I can’t get up without help or HUGE effort…my legs don’t want to function. They hurt and feel horrid and heavy.
My ‘main’ dream last night was where we had apparently bought this HUGE rambling weird house with another family to share….as we saw how big the place was (obviously we had bought site unseen!) we realized just how much space each of us could have. Patrick and I were having fun exploring the weird shaped place….until my ability to get up steps and stairs started to crush me down….filling me with anxiety and exhaustion at the sheer effort.
???????
I get this sensation a lot in my dreams….I don’t like it. I would like it to stop.
Soooooo any ideas on how to change this pattern?
Ok, I’ll give it ago… houses are suppose to represent your current life. (Be thankful your dream is not of one falling apart 🙂 )Is yours too big for you? Too many options? House sharing would suggest that you are open and willing to let people in and help. It would suggest that you are globally focused. Can’t walk? The first obvious explanation is that you are paralyzed (for what ever reason- usually fear) and can’t get what you want to get done, done.
I also love my vivid dreams!
Hmmmm…well, I know I’ve had reoccurring themes in my dreams that sound similar. I’m trying to move from one place to another but my legs are SO heavy that I feel like I am moving through water.
Probably has to do with stress in life and making decisions or moving on or something
I’ve had dreams like that. Or dreams where I’m being chased and I can’t run.
I’m reading a book right now, and she would tell you that your subconscious is trying to tell you something. Is there some way that you feel blocked, or unable to function, in your life right now? Maybe that’s coming out as the inability to walk in your dreams.
Weird Carrie…that is similar to how mine feel….and Kimberly, my house is too small…..and the fear probably comes from feeling blocked about moving ahead in any clear pattern…..have felt that way for a bit…..so I guess it is good I am taking your course huh Amber! Interesting that houses are supposed to be your life. All the houses I look at in dreams are large and messy and rambling with lots of strange rooms and stuff…..a cluttered life AND a cluttered dream life too. GAH!!! I just hate the heavy legs thing.
My guess would be you feel stressed and trapped in your current situation. You’re unable to move forward in your life and therefore you’re unable to move forward in your dream. How to fix? Um… Yoga?
I always have very vivid dreams too! My recurring dream is me looking for someone but can’t find them! It is so strange cause I am running through cities and make it to where they were just seconds after they have left! And I never know who I am running after! So weird!
As for your dream, I say stress and entrapment are the reasons for your heavy legs! Maybe because your house is so small and your dream house is so large you are paralyzed to look at it for fear of it not being yours! Just an idea though!
Oh and do you know, you don’t remember your dreams unless you wake up during them!!!
What I get to play Jungian psychoanalyst. You clearly need to walk more. No wait, it’s a symbol… your spirit is being CRUSHED by your living situation!
