Being unable to move

Can't move, Frozen in place, Paralyzed in a dream

Wanting to run or reach out while your body won't respond is a hard dream to forget. It mirrors a situation where you feel stuck: you know what you'd like to do, yet something holds you back. That might be a decision you keep postponing, a role that leaves you little room or plain self-doubt. The dream asks what is really in the way. Often a single small step is enough to get things moving again.
