That and when you try and run you can barely move. |
|
I read about a few cases on DV about people that were trying to hit someone in a dream had great diffuculty. Like their arms were moving through mud instead of air. I to have this 'problem'. Just this night I tried to hit a bad guy with a shovel and when I swung at him it just slowed down and I hardly touched him. |

Yeah, I have had a few dreams in which I was in a fight or grappling situation that seemed to have a barely noticible slow motion aspect. |

I have a total lack of strength in dreams. I can punch someone in a dream, full force, and they wont even flinch, so I hit again and once again nothing happens. |

Recent Dream journal note : I was swallowed by some kind of sea-snake thing
Ooh, that is a good idea for a dreamsign! When I'm dreaming, and I am running, I feel weighted down and slow. When I was lucid, though, I could run normally and very fast. |

In response to the first post on this thread, I have found myself to be able to fight in certain circumstances with Matrix-like abilities. Specifically (this past summer), i had a dream in which i was in a mall-- everything was rendered in a line-polygon matter,much like the last scene of the Matrix 3 when Neo see's orange fiber-optics everywhere-- and i saw a couple buddies. We ended up wrestling, and eventually we got serious, and i was doing time-slowing moves where I was spinning and doing some crazy upsidedown kicks to the face.... I became lucid at that point. Continuing on, i kicked their ass and the guards got called on me in this orange fiber-optic mall and i also fought them in a similar, but conscious style.... that is the only fight i can remember in a dream -- probably because i won |

Advice I've heard on punching and fighting, is that you should not try to push your arm forward and let that create the effect. Instead, imagine the opponent being knocked backwards by the force of your punch. In other words, don't focus on the cause (moving your arm), but on the effect (your opponent being hit). |
|
That's good advice, Jalexxi, because I've had problems trying to hit or punch people because I have no force behind the swing at all. |

I guess it won't really work for me, since I can usually run and fight fine in my dreams. I haven't really fought with my fists, but I did give some person a good couple hits in the face with a rake, and tore a chunk out of someone with a pen... And in my nightmares I run like hell and I'm usually pretty fast.. |
|
i used to have alot of those or i would get mad in my dream and try to punch a wall or something and my punch would slow to the point where my fist would just tap the wall. |

Curiously, in all of my dreams EXCEPT those that take place in the "dark academy," and lucid ones, I have that problem. I have never in a dream wondered about it, but once, it was explained to me in a "class" I was taking that the unitard suit I always wear in "academy" dreams was made specifically to counter that problem, which is why all students and faculty where them whenever I dream about it. |

It seems you only feel this sensation when you are TRYING to run but not if u just do it naturally. |
|
Our dreams are firsthand creations, rather than residues of waking life. We have the capacity for infinite creativity.

This one dream i had, though, I WAS trying to run, and it worked fine. It was wierd, the dream was lucid, but I wasn't. This "professor" has me and a bunch of random DC students outside on some sort of track, and he's making us do windsprints, and explaining that if it weren't for these suits we were wearing, it would be impossible for us to run at all. I thought he was making an allusion to the atmosphere of the area, because the "Dark Academy" (I just call it that because it's dark, and appears to be some sort of academy,) is sort of a dreary place in general, and when you are there, you have the vague impression that you aren't really in Kansas anymore. |
