speechless, paralysis

Have you ever found yourself stuck in a dream where you literally can't move? Perhaps paralysed by fear? When your dreams render you speechless or immobile, look at what you feel powerless to stand up to or sensibly move away from, or look at what it is you are afraid to express in your life now. Our animal-like instincts are programmed for 'fight or flight'. To stay motionless is to fall victim to a larger predator. These dreams are therefore much more than 'just a dream': they address our most basic survival instincts. Once you act on your survival instincts, face the fearful person or situation, your nightmare will no longer haunt you.
