As a kid, age 6-8 probably I had many dreams about owls. I never figured out why or what would have triggered it.
Between my 20s and 30s I did a lot of selfdefense training. I would dream a lot about conflict situations where I would have to fight (or run). In real life I might have had 3 conflics in those 10 years. Anyhow, fighting in a dream was like being submerged in molasse: every movement had resistence and was painfully slow, while opponents moved normally. This was freaking me out.
- bennyp101 6y agoI think that's your body's way of making sure you don't hurt yourself - kinda like why I can never run in dreams - body has a sleep paralysis
- rebuilder 6y agoThat slowness is very common, AFAIK. I have it, too, specifically if I try to punch things. Good thing, too - a couple of times that has failed to work and I've woken up just in time to see my first punch a wall or my elbow smash into the radiator next to my bed. Hurts. I don't know if it's related, but sometimes in my dreams I fly by taking advantage of this oddly sluggish momentum. All it takes is to launch myself into a spinning motion like a frisbee, and I'll fly a good distance.
