Running Dream

[mkdream]

Hi All,

On more than one occassion I have had running dreams; but although I am running I am going really slow?

Last night was a race; but no matter how hard I pushed myself I could not run any faster. Even in my dream I feel frustrated by this

Can anyone help me with this please?

Cheers

Hello mkdream,
You are trying to run with your physical body, which is paralysed during sleep to stop you acting out your dreams. Your mind is trying to get your body to run, but your body is having none of it.

Try to fly instead. But don't flap your arms like a bird - that is the same as trying to run, you sink like a stone. Fly with your mind. Think it from there.

To get rid of chasing dreams, turn around and face whoever is chasing you.

Best of luck

I'm not sure the running / being unable to run fast means much by itself. I think the emotion that comes with it and whatever you are running to /from are the important parts.

For example, in your dream, you are in a race and are frustrated. Are you winning? Are you far behind? Who else is in the race with you? People from work? Your neighbors? Your family? Complete strangers?

That will probably tell you what you are frustrated about.

I can't recall it being anyone specific. But I know I can run faster; but something is holding me back.

It makes me fell angry/frustrated I think

I have these dreams to about 50-50 when I can run faster than cars and other times I am running as hard as I can but am being overtaken by slow people.

My mate said to me once (don't laugh) that there is a 'cheat mode' in dreams that if you take your shoes off you can run really fast. Never tried it myself but it would be interesting to see if it has worked for anyone else?
