gravity in my dreams?

Question

Okay, I have these weird dreams all the time. It's where I want to hit, grab, or touch something, but it like there's this immense weight holding me down preventing from doing these things and I don't know why. What do you think it is?

Answer 1

I would say that these dreams are symbolically trying to communicate with you that something in your life is holding you down or you are feeling that someone is holding you down, preventing you from achieving your goal.

Alternatively you are wanting to hit out, grab the opportunity or wanting to experience something but something within you or something that governs your moral right and wrong is preventing you from doing so by holding you down.

Or that which you want to hit, grab or touch is dangerous so the holding you down could be a protective, restraining.

Only you can really decide, as only you can determine what fits in with what is going on in your life and how you are feeling. Although I do hope these few words will help aid self realisation.

Answer 2

the vast chasm between desire and fruition. You never have
to deal with real life challenges in your dreams and these may
be the immense weight issue. Your subconscious already
knows what you really want and what you don't. It's a good
friend ...perhaps some of the things you want out of life
at this point you're not ready for emotionally or financially.
If you keep a dream journal, the re-reading of it will give
you a lot of insight to your true emotional character.

Because you are lying down and basically you're body is at rest. Therefore, imagining to move will be very tough. And sometimes it seems you can't control yourself. It kinda sucks because if you wanna run, each of your feet feels like a ton of lead. While sometimes, quite the opposite happens! In my case, there are times that I dream that I am flying, and weightless, but I'm out of control! I remember I feel like the gravity has changed its direction of force! Instead of towards the earth, it's towards the sky and I keep on embracing a fixed object (e.g. a post) just so as not to be pulled by the weight upward (lol)! I'm wondering when will my state of mind be more stronger than the orientation of my sleeping body, so as to be really in control of my movements in dreams.

I believe it's hard for people to interpret dreams that are not their own. Only you can interpret your dream well since you're the only one who can really decipher the symbols that your subconsciousness comes up with.

If you're having the same dream over and over again it doesn't necessarily mean that its predicting the future but rather it represents the rather strong sentiment or thoughts that have been ingrained in your mind for quite a while. It's kind of like those stories of scientists "dreaming up" new discoveries because they've been puzzling over the same questions for years.

Having said all this, my (vague) interpretation of your dream is that you're about to attain a certain goal but you feel like something is holding you back and you can't really understand why, so it's been haunting your mind for a while.

Answer 5

Perhaps u do not prepare urself to dream. I find that relaxing and perhaps focusing on various parts of the body to "sense" it 'being there" is the best preparation for the mind to delve into that other world of the dreams where all the senses are just like the "real world."
Then u may find that there aer other abilities such as active thinking in resonse to the dream and so much more...

To understand a dream, it’s helpful to keep in mind why and how we dream. When we sleep, the body and perception systems are shut down, but the brain remains active. The brain thinks about what has recently been most active during waking hours—experiences, thoughts and feelings accessed recently whether consciously or not. The brain is still active, so it works on this content, but not in a familiar, rational way. During sleep, this material is not related using input from the external real world, but rather by the brain connections already established in the cortex. So the story connectedness isn’t like everyday experience, but rather a strange, circuitous flow from one image to the next. So dreams aren’t magical messages to guide our life, but dream imagery is taken from everyday experiences, thoughts and feelings that matter most to us during our waking life. So it’s a mistake to apply standard symbol definitions, such as Freudian meanings. All you need to do is think about what kind of imagery it is and how it relates to your daily life.

It would seem that when you're awake, there is something in your life that's "weighing on you," things that restrict you, keep you from doing what you really want to do. There are things you'd like to do or get, but you are prevented from doing so...a job? a family? someone close to you who dominates you? If you have dreams like this all the time, then it must really be bothering you, causing you to dwell on it intensely, whether consciously or unconsciously.

Answer 7

This happens frequently. I have heard that one of the biggest reasons for experiencing difficulty moving in dreams is just the fact that when you are asleep, the parts of your brain that control locomotion and limb movement are dulled or silenced, so that you do not thrash around in bed or perform other energy-wasting or potentially dangerous movements. (This does not always work so well---for example, somnambulism (sleep-walking) is an exception to the general rule.) Sometimes your mind can sense this lack of movement, causing it to have difficulty portraying that same movement in the dream setting.

Answer 8

This sounds like sleep paralysis to me.

If so, you weren't actually dreaming. You were either just waking up or about to fall asleep. Your body hasn't physically woken up yet, so you can't seem to move, but your mind has woken up so you are aware of what is happening. Your body is supposed to be temporarily paralyzed while you sleep to stop you acting out your dreams (keeps you in your bed!)

Answer 9

think about it like this in your dreams are you not supposed to touch or hit or grab what you want to its like this lets say you want to touch a girl but you know her boyfreind is your best freind your brain is telling you that it is wrong so in your dreams you cant

Answer 10

Probably your own mind since you keep thinking it's there. Just think about space and no gravity and you should be able to fly and move easier.
