Do you think your dreams ever represent your struggles against anxiety? I've started to wonder if mine do. Ever since I can remember, if I am trying to run in a dream, I can't. If I'm running in my dreams it's usually because I want to get somewhere, but I can hardly move. I feel like I'm being pushed back. I put all my energy into it and it's exhausting. That's exactly how I feel about SA. I just thought that was interesting.
Yeah I have had dreams like that sometimes but, I've never looked at it from that perspective. I like to believe that our subconscience can send us messages through dreams... But who the hell knows really.
If your thoughts revolve around a certain theme during the day, during a dream it can manifest due to the flow and 'tidying' up of the brain. Thats what I think anyway. So of course its possible to have such dreams. *I'm sure there is a scientific way of describing it*
They are after all, you. And nothing more. Formed of memory and to some extent, imagination.

that's similar to a dream i have. i dream i am fighting with random people and when i go to punch them my fist goes in slow motion and doesn't even hit them, it just pats them. it's like a feeling of being helpless or too insecure to REALLY assert myself.

This might be a little off topic but your dreams are actually caused by a drug your body naturally produces in a gland in your brain called DMT. So basically when you dream you are tripping out on a hallucinogenic. I've heard therapists and stuff talk about dreams relating to real life issues, i guess somehow DMT plays a roll in that.
People actually find ways to extract this shit from grass and use it like shrooms and apparently its like no other drug you'll ever experience. The way someone described it was you go a different world in your head.

Absolutely. Like you, I have running dreams, but none where I felt stuck or inhibited.
Have you ever experienced sleep paralysis?

For what it matters the best time to dream is to wake up early morning and fall asleep again.
Hmm sleep paralysis, you know I described this to plenty of people and they thought I was just crazy... but now I have a wiki page to show them lol. I used to get it a fair amount.

dottie & m1tch : i have the same dream pretty often, is it possbible?
I dont have an explanaition for it,like you dotte & i also dont really love to fight in my dreams; and especially to feel SPic in my dreams.
That's scary. I had them a few times, that there is pure terror, my family had to hold me down because I unknowingly was running around in panic/horror. Oh and screaming, lots of that.
Annnyway. I think it was caused by meds at the time, way back.
