I have some dreams which recur mainly me being chased or trying to run and not being able to but I haven't had one like that recently. Something which happens a lot to me is that I think I'm awake but I'm not, it's such an odd feeling as I believe I'm awake and getting out of bed but then start and I'm just waking up again, usaully happens a few times before I can really wake up and always feel really odd for about 30 mins afterwards. Another thing is that I'm awake but can't move, I have to (this will sound weird) try to scream and really shake my arms about to finally be able to move and wake up but it's really scary when it happens. Not sure if I'm half asleep or not when this happens but when I wake I have to struggle not to fall back to sleep again and if I do I go right back into the same thing happening. Anyone know what this could be?

RE: Odd dreams
Hi Supernova
I can explain about the chasing and running slowly but not the other questions, so here goes;
Being chased by someone:- means that you are avoiding the truth. Do you know this person, if so...then you may have some unfinished business. If its someone you don't know - then think more deeply into it - i.e. what scared you about the person?, an action, something they stand for, something you think they might expose about you?
Running in slow motion:- this could mean that it can offer time for you to find a strategy to overcome your pursuer. If you are stuck to the spot, you will find that this forces you to confront the issue.
Hope this helps, but hopefully another Forum Member can enlighten you about the other bits or expand on what I have mentioned.
