I run in dreams. Good and bad. One of my favourite dreams start with me running, and it crescendos towards a feeling of effortlessness. The ease of my stride becomes complete, rarely and barely do I have to touch the ground to continue propelling myself forward. The few times that I do have to make ground contact it is as if my forefoot merely licks the ground and I experience something akin to almost-flight.
It is not as if I'm weightless as much as having an unbelievably elastic Achilles tendon that allows me to bound ahead, completely and utterly free. With nothing to impede me.
In nightmares, if I have to run, I'm not as swift.
- YeGoblynQueenne 5y agoInteresting. When I have one of those dreams I start running on all fours. Which is weird because I could never run like that in real life. Although I tried to repeat the movement when I was in the sea, once, and it kiind of worked, in that I could propel myself forward, except I had to be underwater. Now that I think of it, I've never had a dream where I can't swim and I dream of swimming very often.
- leksak 5y agoMaybe you could learn. Animal locomotion is pretty big on YouTube.
- mediocregopher 5y agoI've had this exact dream and it's one of my favorites as well! It feels like bunny hopping in source engine games.
- hliyan 5y agoI can run in dreams, but more agile motions fail me: jumping over a small fence, fighting someone. Then it's like either there are lead weights attached to my feet, or my arms and legs are like those of rag dolls. Don't respond to my commands well. Ironically, flying is much easier.
