Hey Pandas, What Never Goes Right In Your Dreams? (Closed)

Many people have something that always goes wrong in dreams. Some people cant punch hard.

For me, it's locks. Every door I lock in my dreams becomes unlocked.

What is always not working in your dreams?

My ability to scream. I have nightmares about being kidnapped or something sometimes, and I can never scream. It makes it so much more terrifying because in that moment I really think "I can't scream. No one will hear me. I'm going to be kidnapped."

My environment. Whenever I’m dreaming about “being home” or “being at school” etc, it’s almost never my actual school or house etc. It’s usually vastly different every time and my brain just goes “yup this is right!” Also, I get Deja vu with my dreams. Lately whenever I have a dream I think to myself “Oh I’ve had this dream before” but then I REALLY think and I go “Wait..have I??”

I know that deja vu too! Also, sometimes I "remember" Something in the dream and can not tell if it is Something real, part of the dream or maybe an earlier dream.

Could be! I had a lot of these dreams when I was a child. I think it's got to do a lot about having to behave all of the time and not being able to do what you really want to do. When I left my parent's house at age 15/16 to go to school abroad these recurring dreams disappeared forever.

I can't complete "the action" that will make the dream follow the path I want it to. Doesn't really matter what "the action" is. It could be opening a door and leaving, driving somewhere or kissing someone.

Odd thing is that a lot of times my dream will then restart and I'll get stuck in a dream loop, never being able to get past the same point.

I keep dreaming about the past. Worst is when I realize I am still at school or university and realize I have still two or three years to go until I graduate, get my bachelors or my PHD. It’s horrible and such a relief waking up and realizing I am luckily 20 years beyond the fear of failing at university. Only time I am happy not to be a tween with scholar pressure anymore.

If not that then I'll dream I never completed my math college classes at all and have to repeat my last semester class. It's frikkin crazy

I can’t yell. When I hit or kick people, it’s insanely weak. Like it’s as if I lightly flicked them. While I rarely feel pain in my dreams, the scale is usually off. I got attacked by wolves in one of my dreams and the bites felt very soft.

That my ex-husband didn’t love me. I’ve been divorced for almost 17 years and I’ll dream of him at least twice a month. In my dream I go everywhere with him and when I try to kiss him he tells me that he can’t because he doesn’t love me. When I wake up I think “I KNOW he didn’t love me. I don’t want to be reminded”. I loved him so very much.

Majority of the time I don’t dream actually- but I when I do I can’t do anything- talk or walk, my knees will fall from under me so I’m stuck. things happen around me but im spectator to them- not even a character, simply watching events play out. This often leads to disassociation though because it feels like most events have already played out in front of me. I prefer the days I don’t dream.

Fun fact: you do dream every night, but you don't remember. Otherwise your mind would go insane, it's just a thing our brains need to do. It's the same thing for me. For a long time I thought I didn't dream at all, but in fact, I just have rarely any memory left of it by the time I wake up.

That I can't move or talk or scream. The scenario is going on around me and I can't take any necessary action to save or help myself. Part of my subconscious knows it's a dream, which reassures me, but still.

When the dream gets chaotic, I realize I can escape by flying. But the catch is I have to take a few running steps first in order to get airborne.
There’s never anywhere big enough to get those steps for liftoff.
So then I spend a lot of time looking for a place to run & jump up, up & away.

In the rare dreams I still remember after waking up, it is a recurring motive that I gain the ability to either fly or at least jump very high, but as soon as I'm high up in the air I realize that I have no idea how to land and then immediately start tumbling and falling towards the ground. Though I also don't remember ever hitting the ground.

The people who are supposed to help abandon me. I dreamt I was going to surgery. I was in the gown and everything, and the nurse who was taking me there got on the elevator without me, so I had to find my own way to surgery in this HUGE hospital. I dream often of ants and gnats, which I once read is about many petty annoyances. Got that right.

Trying to reach a destination (usually home) is a common theme in my dreams. Last night I dreamt that I was doing training w my old National Guard unit and I got separated from them when we went to chow. I kept trying to get back to the building we were working out of, but I ended up going to just about every other building that was there. And I kept having issues with my uniform…lose my hat or shirt, even ended up naked, which is new for me. That was interesting standing in front of an officer trying to explain what happened to my clothes lol…

I have a couple of them. The first is that, whenever I am flying (in my body, not in a plane, etc), I cannot land because I start coming down and realize I am going to hit either power lines or dense treetops. The other one was a dream where I was being chased by some nefarious entity, and I was in a maze. I kept turning corners, feeling the thing gaining on me. I finally come around a corner, and see someone at the end of a hallway in the maze, so I run towards it, seeking help, but as I come up to it, I realize it is a mirror wall, and the entity stabs me in the back, causing me to faceplant into the mirror. So, as I see myself going face first into it, my mouth opens and deep red blood rushes out of it, and I realize I am about to die. I wake up then. Gross and quite frightening.
