      Running dream

      To those members who are more apt with dream interpretation I am hoping you can explain an extremely common occurrence in my dreams, for as long as I remember it has been very common (at least weekly) to dream of having to complete a task normally running to or away from something and I will get dizzy and fall over and not be able to get back up because I am dizzy, disorientated and everything is spinning.

      It would be great if someone would be able to explain what this may mean to me. Any help would be appreciated.

      This is a pretty common dream theme -- running away and being unable to for some reason.

      When it comes to the purpose of dreams, some scientists think dreams help prepare the dreamer for emergencies -- being attacked, hostage situations, fights, being chased, etc. In this sense, these dreams of being chased but having a hard time running away might be your mind preparing you for the possibility of being chased. Your mind makes it as hard as possible so if it happens in waking life, you will put all of your effort into running like crazy.

      If you want to look at this in a symbolic way, this is a dream about frusteration. Something is happening in your life that has you frusterated. As hard as you try, you can't seem to succeed in this one area of your life. Or maybe you are just afraid of failure?

      Agreed. Frustration is what I've found from researching it.

      I've had a few of these dreams. One where I was crossing a street in my town and cars were coming. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get out of the way. Was just running in slow mo, but I woke up before anything happened.
