Stuck In Slowmo?

-

Have you ever tried running away in a dream but found yourself stuck, unable to get away from something you're desperately trying to run away from ?  Or maybe you find yourself running in slow motion like a scene out of Baywatch (Only we never look as good do we?) and suddenly hit with panic that you can't get away quick enough?  ....Well you're not alone.


There are a number of reasons this can happen, sometimes it can be that you're trying to rush through something too quickly in your waking life? It might be a difficult personal situation that you want to get over with? Or it could be studying or an exam? The anxiety and stress felt in our waking lives is displayed in our dreams to draw attention. As much as we want to, for our own good we can't always rush things, we have to experience the life lesson meant for us no matter how uncomfortable.
Another reason for this type of dream can be that you're trying to run away from something that you need to face. It could be some type of addiction?  Or something wrong in a relationship?  Or financial problems?  Or some other kind of problem that you are not facing up to and dealing with?  What often happens then, is that you will have a dream where there is a situation that causes a lot of fear and anxiety that make's you want to run away, only that's when you find you cant?  Your dream is alerting you to your waking life situation and until you face up to whatever problem is going on, these dreams will keep resurfacing. As much as we want to, we cannot truly move forward in life until we deal with our problems. Once you start facing up to things and putting thought into action the dreams will start to subside.  

*As with all Dream symbols, the above is only a general explanation. Each dream is unique to the individual and it's meaning dependent on many factors of the whole dream*

Is it  possible to travel while asleep, as in Astral travel or Astral projection? Well, It's a vast subject but in easy terms it's about  an intentional out of body experience where the physical body stays on the bed and the soul leaves the body to travel the universe, it's the same kind of experience  as reported by those after a near death experience, so the answer is yes. Now before you start thinking I'm four Pringles short of a tube let me explain. The reason I can answer the question is because it's happened to me, I say happened TO me because in my case it wasn't intentional, never have I  been supping on a Horlicks before bed thinking " I hope I get scared shitless tonight and my soul decides to leave my  chubby little body behind and go for a wander?" But that's exactly what happened....apart from the Horlicks bit, come on, I'm not 93 and I can't stand Horlicks?   I don't expect you to believe what you're about to read, up

What Does It Mean?

I  recently  put control of this article over to you. What Dream subject would you like to know about?  You came back with "Flying" "Going for a wee" and "Being chased".....not all at the same time I should hasten to add, at least I don't think so?  🤣 All three requests are  very common subjects that come up time and time again, so let's begin by addressing "Flying". There can be a multitude of reasons for flying in a dream depending on individual situations and life circumstances, from feeling trapped or suffocated or stuck, to feeling controlled by a partner or parent or other, this can also affect children of course?  Sometimes when our waking life isn't going well it can become overwhelming and we want to get away from it, but can't for whatever reason, so in our dream we fly, we fly because it represents freedom and being unrestricted, this action not only safely releases some of the stress we are holding from our daily waki

Abnormal Dreaming?

Back in May, I wrote about how Covid was having an impact  on people's dreams or in most cases nightmares and unfortunately not a lot has changed, With the increase in mental health problems and a rise in suicide cases it's too early to say  what number is a direct result of the Lockdown but I'm guessing it's going to be quite high? The majority of messages I'm receiving are from those who are experiencing anxiety, weird sleeping patterns, unable to sleep at all, or drifting in and out of sleep with nightmares in-between, so I thought I would write another article on the subject.  Firstly you are not alone, now I know that's not much comfort when your nights are spent either staring at the ceiling huffing  or bouncing off the bed screaming as you wake from a midget chasing you down the street with an axe?  BUT... you are not weird, you are not going mad and it's just your body's way of dealing with what's going on right now. Dreams and nightmares are

I Forgot To Remember ?

Hi, So I kept being asked if I had a Dream website, I didn't because since I first started many moons ago  I've only ever worked with those I know and those that come via recommendation and that continues today, but with the popularity of social media I thought I could use a website to write  some articles that  will hopefully help those of you interested in Dreams, so here's the website and the first article, hope you enjoy it?. Do you spend all night Dreaming, and  think about how you'll have to write it down in the morning, only when you wake up you can't remember a thing?   You actually tell people about it because you find the fact you can't remember so frustrating? You try to remember something, anything but it's no good, it seems that every last detail has been erased from your memory?  Well if this sounds like you?  Read on....... You don't always have to remember a Dream, and if you ARE meant to remember trust me you will eventually, even

Fragile?

Life is fragile, I'm sure you've all heard that said at some point or other? But how many really take notice of the words and their meaning ? Life is fragile....I think most of us are guilty of hearing but not really listening? For those that follow, you will know of my own guilt of hearing but not listening that I've spoken about in the past regarding the loss of my sister and our chat about her Christian faith and the Lords prayer, where I asked her if she was angry with god and she explained that she was sad but not angry because in the Lords Prayer it says "Give us this day" it doesn't say give us this week, month or year? It says "Give us this day" and today is all that we can be sure of ? I spoke about the fact that I'd probably said the Lords prayer in assembly from the time I was five years old and yet I'd never really paid much attention to the words over the years, they were just words. but in that moment spent with my sister w
