I'm having a reoccurring fragment in a dream. By fragment I mean that this happens in every dream I've remembered for the past couple months. The dreams have all varied.

In my dreams, as I am trying to walk, some force comes over me and makes it impossible for me to walk at a normal pace. Almost like my joints just won't work. Each step I take is a struggle and painstakingly slow. Sometimes this happens when I am just casually walking with someone. Sometimes it happens when I need to hurry and walk fast. Sometimes the person with me gets annoyed at my inability to walk at a normal pace even though they see I am struggling. I try to explain what I am feeling -- "It's like some force that is pushing against me and not letting me walk forward." I also find my dream self is becoming more and more frustrated about not being able to walk with each dream. Recently I have found that if I jump up and down it "wakes up" my joints and I can walk normal again. But it's short-lived. I am ever only able to get a couple of normal steps in until I struggle to take a step again.
