Can't run in my dreams

Hello dear lucid dreamers,

Somehow I can't run away from creatures/people chasing me in my dreams. My legs feel weak and I always get caught and wake up. How does one run in lucid dreams?

Try running in every dream until it lets you. My dreams don't let me fly or summon objects, but they do let me summon people for some peculiar reason. Others will probably suggest communicating with your subconscious, but the subconscious has always been an irritating dumbass in my experience, so my advice is grit your teeth and try to run again again and again until you can.

Gah, you are missing the point of a dream..

The point is to stop running.....
And THEN, when you overcome your fear of someone chasing you, you can run as fast as lightning ;)

Enjoy..

that happens to me ALL THE TIME in non-lucids, its like trying to run in water with gravity three times stronger.
my suggestion is that you use an item in the dream to help you, like magic shoes, a pill, a potion, or power-up. you could also use a verbal command, "ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!" works pretty good as a speed boost for me :)

Yeah every time I gotta run in a non-lucid dream I feel like I'm trying to run through mud while being absolutely smashed off my face. I remember I was in a race and the first one to go inside this tree house thingy got to spend time with this woman (nothing necessarily dirty). I had to move through a large gap in a fence to continue. Hardest thing I've ever had to do...

Yet somehow I still won!
