Anybody else not able to run or punch in a dream? If so why is this, this has bothered me for countless years now and i have never bothered to ask why this is.

Here is a guess.

It could be because you are feeling trapped or helpless by a particular situation or memory. A way to stop these dreams is to use a technique a South American tribe uses to help kids with terror dreams. When you awaken tell yourself to go back to sleep and change the dream so you come out victorious. A nice S&W would appear to be in good taste. If you can't get back to sleep you can visualize the same victory while lying there awake. This has worked for my kids and for myself as well as combat veterans I worked with.
 
I think it's like that for everyone. I have had a recurring dream since childhood where I cannot run or even move.
 
Ive had dreams were i could fly than that dream comes back later and i need to get a way from the bad guys and i cant fly!! With me i think its related to when i dont have control of something in my life. 7shooters suggestion has worked for me before. you would actually be surprised how much you can control in a dream.
 
I always thought that it was because since you are lying in bed your legs are pretty much restricted from simulating any type of running movement........your dreaming brain wants to run in its fantasy.....but in reality you are lying down and your legs are restricted from that type of movement.

.....ditto for "punches".

Sleeping normally causes a degree of paralysis.In a lighter stage of it we can be sort of semiconcious and be aware of some things.

Never had the running problem. Could always run in my dreams but not being able to punch is common for me ever since childhood.

Here is some useless sleep related knowledge. Has it ever happened to anyone just as you are falling asleep all of a sudden your leg violently twitches? Thats your bodys fight or flight response. As you fall asleep your "lizard brain" thinks you are dying and tries to jolt the your body out of it

Yeah, your body tries to protect you from actually taking action during a dream. I guess some people have a condition that shuts this protection off. Kind of scarey.
 
I havent had a dream where I couldnt run or punch, cant run anyway. I used to have a dream several times that was odd. My job was a guard at a huge defense plant. I worked graveyard. It involved doing rounds at times on weekends and holidays in a totaly empty factory with huge buildings where a city of people worked. There were high narrow walk ways with railings that I had to check out in the dark with dimmly lit factory floor maybe 150 feet down. I could even take you to the exact spot awake.
This rough big old guy that I knew as a janitor in the factory came out of the dark snarling and swinging a iron bar at me. The fact that I had my revolver out and on him didnt concern him anymore than had it been a rubber balloon. My trigger was froze like it was welded. Then I woke up.
The interesting thing was I later learned the man was heavy in the olcutts and was a devil worshiper.
 
This is funny, as I have the same issue.
The last time, I was dreaming of goal tending in a soccer game (??? I haven't played soccer since HS). I kept attempting to run and dive for the ball but could not get there. I remember getting very discouraged in my dream. I finally gave it my all, waking up after punching the headboard!
 
Fear! I have CCW and sometimes take it out of my pocket.

A guy came up to the car window and said: "do you have a gun?" I said "NO". He then stuck a knife in my face, I grabbed his arm and pulled him in the car, trying to Hammer Fist the side of his head, couldn't connect...and no gun! Glad I woke up. Sat on the edge of the bed and thought: "whoa, just a dream..."
 
One I had for years had me standing at the top of a long flight of stairs,losing my balance, falling and then discovering I could fly.
 
There was a old train watering tower in the town I used to live in. A girl on drugs climbed up it and jumped she had told people she was going to fly. The city tore the water tank down.
 
I have had those dreams, also the falling dream where you wake up before you hit the ground. Did you ever have the naked dream; you are in front of a bunch of people buck naked and it ain't a nudist colony?
