At times when i realise im dreaming, i try flying or changing the scenario completely, but other times, i'm just running incredibly slow? Sometimes i will fight whatever is chasing me, which is generally successful, because i am the master of my dreams!
usually ends bad for me when i don't realise im in the dream and just keep running.
is there any meaning to these sorts of dreams?
is my body trying to tell me to "face my fears" ?

thanks
I don't believe that symbols are random in dreams. Not being able to run, means there is something in your life that is slowing you down, holding you back and it's probably some situation or circumstance that you have created in your life that needs to change so you can go forward. Take stock on your life and see what is keeping you from achieving any goals and creating a better life. I had a repeating dream years ago that I couldn't run, until I finally in the dream did a handstand and began to run on my hands. Finally, I "got it"...the meaning of the dream, that until I started using "my hands"...or in my situation....became an artist...that my life would go forward. Each time you have the dream write it down, because the answer to the message usually is within the dream.
