Dream Meaning

galwayjohn89

I am not sure if this is the right forum for this thread.

Basically, I only remembered today that I have a recurring dream where I can't run fast going forward, it's almost as if I am running through very deep mud/running in knee high water. In the dreams, I turn around and run backwards and I am much much faster. Is there any know meaning for this or am I just a freak!?

It was a toss up between which one to post in! Am I allowed to start another one there as well (don't want to be cross posting)

You could always just ask the moderator of this forum to move your thread over for you by reporting your own post in here in the event they don't see this right now

Dreams are very subjective in nature, prescribing a generic meaning to aspects of dreams does not work i.e water means emotions etc. Maybe reflection on your present life circumstances will offer you some insight into potential meaning. You are bested place to understand the message held within your dreams, reflecting on the emotion of the dream as opposed to the content may offer some clues

I used to have a similar dream where i was in my back garden and when i tried to exit it I was slowed down and would not pass any space and move in slow motion but the second I turned around I could move a normal if not hightened speed.
There was always a creature that would rise out of mud and branches that would be at the end of the garden, terrifying stuff especially because it was a reoccuring dream when I was quite young.
But the whole slow-mo thing only happened once to my reccolection but possibly more.
So suppose, either both of us are freaks or its not that uncommon....

It sounds like you are trying to avoid something difficult or unpleasant in your life and can't seem to get any momentum. Like something is holding you back. Here's a quote from a dream dictionary website:

"To dream of running towards something represents your anxiousness, eagerness, or feeling of importance that something should happen as soon as possible. It may also reflect desperation or a fear of losing something.

To dream of running and feeling that you can't go fast no matter how hard you try may reflect feelings of being held back or stifled. Feeling that you can't get any progress or momentum no matter how hard you try.

To dream of running away from something represents your wish to avoid a situation. " [Source: DreamBible.com]

Or it just means your running, sometimes a spade is just a spade
