Dream Interpretation: Unable to Move
Another common dream, one of those you can’t forget: You’ve got to get away, you’re trying to run, but you’re simply unable to move.
According to Gillian Holloway, Ph.D., author of The Complete Dream Book, a dream in which you unable to move often signifies a situation in your life in which you feel pressured but just can’t take action. For example, you’re very unhappy in a relationship but are afraid of leaving for fear of hurting the other person or you need to assert yourself with an authority figure, perhaps your boss, but feel afraid that if you do so, you’ll lose your job.
She suggests that the way to overcome the dilemma is to find something you can do that is not as drastic as the action you fear. You need to take some kind of action. Is there something less drastic than, for example, leaving your partner or telling off your boss. Could you instead make some friends outside the relationship? Could you talk with someone you trust about your work situation and ask for advice?
She suggests you compromise with your internal expectations and therefore, discover a way of taking action.

By the way, for an interesting story about the power of a dream, you might enjoy my book When We Were Gods. In it I recount how my life totally changed when I dreamt about a stranger and saw him the next day in real life. He ended up being my husband, and we’ve been married for 20 years now. He is literally the “Man of my Dreams.”This dream started a series of circumstances, because after we married, I became pregnant, miscarried, and started gaining weight at a phenomenal rate. I went to a hypnotherapist to lose weight. When she put me in deep hypnosis, I not only connected with previous lifetimes that contributed to my present problems with overweight, but also the fabulous world of Atlantis.
