Running dream: I keep dreaming I am trying to run away from something but I can't. Anyone else have this?
Question Posted Saturday January 21 2012, 8:56 pm
The falling sensation is pretty common with many people, but this is different and I don't know how common it is. In my sleep I'll feel like I'm desperately trying to run away from something but I can't budge. Its weird. The falling thing is the only comparable thing. Any idea what this "can't run away" feeling is? Has it happened to anyone?

To dream that you are running away from someone indicates an issue that you are trying to avoid. You are not taking or accepting responsibility for your actions. In particular, if you are running from an attacker or any danger, then it suggests that you are not facing and confronting your fears.
To dream that you are trying to run but cannot make your feet move as fast as you want them to signifies lack of self-esteem and self-confidence. It may also reflect your actual state of REM paralysis during the dream state.
To dream that you are running alone refers to your determination and motivation in the pursuit of your goals. You will find success and rise above those around you. Alternatively, the dream may mean that you need to hurry up in making a decision.
To dream that you are running with someone signifies cooperation. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
