Just writing the subject for this post I had a light bulb moment and realised why I am probably having this feeling in my dreams. In my dreams- this happens alot- I can't walk forward or run. I know lots of people have that dream where you can't get away from someone, your legs just don't seem to work, but this is just normal walking. I also have dreams where I am running in a race- I used to do long distance running before my illness- and even then I can't run; my legs are like jelly.
The twist of this is that I can move forward if I turn around and run/walk backwards. Mind you I feel like a right dork doing this in my dreams. I am now wondering if these dreams are indicating that I have to look for other ways to get better or move on with my life; what I am doing is not the right/best way.
