Answer 1

The inability to move is a representation of your own psychological state: immobilized or believing yourself incapable of facing and/or dealing with the problem this person/dream is presenting to you.

Screaming can be considered an act of making oneself heard, and the fact that, in your dream, your uncle was the one doing the moving and screaming and attacking suggests that you feel that it is your fears that have the power over you, not yourself.

People run away from the things/dangers they believe they cannot prevent: the fight or flee response. Also, what you believe is true when you are awake will be even more true when you are asleep, so if you feel insecure and awkward awake, its very possible your dreams will be the same.

Nightmares can also condition us to respond, in a certain way, every time they happen, but only if we don't do anything to change them. The best cure for nightmares is to imagine them turning out different, either after you wake up from them or before you go to sleep. The more you tell yourself that your nightmares will have no power over you, the sooner your dreaming mind will accept that fact, and instead of being chased, you will be the one doing the chasing.

Wow! That is real effective that you've got that equal dream. Maybe you play a online game and the golden door was once the facet of the sport that you just in no way acquired to open and your unconscious has recreated the equal situation to you possess lifestyles expectancies. Your expectancies of your self and others shall be fulfilled while you move via the Golden door however you should not have a lot self-trust in your self, on the second to go the bridge.

You will succeed in the Golden Door and your lifestyles shall be filled with interesting and uncommon matters. I desire you'll be able to see the sunshine and be blissful.

When your brain functions normally, it's constantly reevaluating how strong thought paths are. Things that you do often become thoroughly ingrained into your thought processes. This also goes not for actions, but for your general idea of the world. Now lets say that something happens that corrupts the path. It doesn't compute with the new way things work, because the way things work has changed. The paradigm has shifted, and as the incompatible neuron connections are destroyed, the resulting dead ends lead to... nothing. The thought pipeline is free to travel in any direction, based on the rest of the line, no matter how weird and twisted that path ends up at. This happens primarily during sleep.

This applies to you. When your Uncle died, all of a sudden your brain had to adjust to it. It deals with stuff like this in strange ways sometimes. While your situation at the extremely specific level may not be as common, at the general level you're in a huge crowd. You're definitely not the only one struggling to understand the tricks your mind plays with you.

Im very sorry, I think I know how you feel. I dont know what it means, but maybe its because you eat before you go to sleep, you dont get a lot of exercise, or you have just too many things going on in your life, your in a big depression that causes you to see nightmares.

i think something like this happened to my mother when she was younger. I think you should see a doctor.. I dont mean it in a bad way, just to make sure. Well and also dont eat before you go to sleep, you cant control it, so your body is still trying to make it in, and you cant control your dreams because you cant think of 2 things while you are dreaming I think thats wat i read. Well GD luck hun, i hope u feel better!add me 2 ur buds

dreams sometimes repeat themselves becuase something in the waking world has yet to change, since u can't move, that most likely means, u are the one who refuses to change, the weapons may have something to do with your sadness, insecurity or fear of losing loved ones
