Weird sensation when dreaming.

Hmm..quite hard to explain but I will try anyway as it's been puzzeling me for quite some time.

Every so often, I will have a dream where I end up in a fight. Usually I can't remember why.

What happens then is, in my dream I will try to throw a punch, but it feels like something is holding me back, the more I try, the harder it gets. I just stand there with some strange force holding my arms down.

Not sure if this is because it would involve quick movements, as my dreams usually tend to be quite slow.

I also get the same feeling of been 'held back' when running from something in a dream.

Do other people get this strange sensaton? Or can you seem to move 'freely' in your dreams?
Do you think it's normal?

I always move freely in my dreams. My most regular dream sees me being chased down a short road that is a dead end and I take off and fly above my peursewers and laugh at them and say come on fly you bastards cuz thats the only way you're gonna git me.
When I was younger I used to dream I was falling a lot but I always woke up before I hit the bottom!
They reckon that if you ever hit bottom, your dead!

Dreams are only your mind living out memories of things you have done or wanted to do as a general rule. Mine are anyway.
What's the matter with you? A real man worn out from sex don't even dream,bitch.
No in my dreams i always end up winning the fight.It seems like i get the shit beat out of me in the process but i always win.Maybe your subconscious mind is telling you dont throw a punch because if you do you know your going to get your ass whipped.
you know what is the weirdest to me,like right before you drift all to sleep,your heart drops,it feels like your falling,and then you wake up.maybe that just happens to me,but i know somebody else that says they have that same feeling.

Fergie Lyrics

Big Girls Don't Cry Lyrics



Da Da Da Da
The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity

[CHORUS:]
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry

The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

[CHORUS]

Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my Valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity

[CHORUS]

La Da Da Da Da Da
why does everyone like that song so much??

I'm not a black eyed pea fan IN ANY WAY but I do find Fergie's 'Big girls don't cry' strangley addictive in a way I could not explain to you except to say, it's just a good song!
Yea, I get that "falling feeling and abrupt wake up". It is , as you say, a variation in your heart rythms that causes it. Weird and sometimes just a tad frightening!

oh really so that's what that is.now i learned something new today.thnkx =)
i meant drift off*** too ma bad.
Maybe if u play fighting games youll get an edge in buddy. Ur will sometimes affects ur dreams.
Gods don't dream.......
You are probably suppressing something, a feeling or emotions and the activities in your dreams are an expression of those emotions, be honest with yourself and your internal conflict and you feel better in waking and sleeping life.
yeah i have dreams where i'm trying to punch somebody, but i can't.
Its normal. This is just cuz you cant control your dreams, like most people
I get the same sensations in some of my dreams. It is symbolic for something and you will just have to figure out what it means to you.

Some of my dreams where I am fighting and I feel like I am being held back I also feel tired..I came to the conclusion that I just don't actually like fighting but force myself because I feel it is necessary!
bro, i love falling asleap because right before i wake up, i can kinda control my dream. and its super tight. you however, cannot, and i pity you. well not really..but try it out sometime
