OMG. That's scary. I hate dreams in which I can't move something. I have read that it's because our muscles are actually paralyzed when we sleep. It's supposedly to keep us from hurting ourselves while we are sleeping. So when our legs won't move, that's why.
I used to have a recurring dream that I was trying to make an important phone call, but the phone was broken or the call would not go through and I would desperately try over and over. I haven't had one of those in awhile.
Debb: Maybe you finally got the message thru to whoever you were trying to call in your dreams--in real life?
Good theory. I'll have to think about that one though. I'm not sure what it was.Quote:

I've had that feeling too where I couldnt move but I was awake--very weird, very creepy.Quote:

I dreamt about the internet in my most recent dream. I had been getting to sites through a site which had an easy to remember name. The new site that I go through is a series of letters. In my dream, I had a hard time remembering the letters.
I then dreamt about the Beverly Hillbillies. I watch that show sometimes. In my dream there was a group of people dressed in rags. I knew they were the hillbillies. Then somebody said my name. I don't remember any other details. I should have written the dream down after I woke up.
I've been having a lot of anxiety dreams lately... different topics, but all the same level of anxiety. I'm not sure what I'm so anxious about in real life that's transmitting into dreams. My dreams are usually quite pleasant.
I have had a lot of anxiety lately too, but last night, even though I"m suffering from a sinus infection, I had a GREAT dream.
I was going to see a movie with some girlfriends, but there was something that prevented it once we arrived. The movie theater looked more like a large hotel lobby, but they were still planning to show the movie. My friends began to annoy me.
Then I was alone in an office with an old boyfriend. (Truth be told, the love of my life. We parted many years ago due to circumstances out of our control.) We were discussing business, but then we grew very close and he kissed me very gentlely on the lips. It was so intense. It felt so real as if all of his feelings for me were contained in the kiss.
I can't stop thinking about it!

You know... when they involved a person you couldn't or shouldn't have.
Now that I'm married... I have some great dreams... but NOT as often. I wonder why that is????? Is it because I have what I want????
