Thread: Dreams where your fighting someone, but your punches dont do nothing....

i had a dream like this a few months ago

I was in 3rd period math amd some annoying kid kept talking and anoying me so im like "dude shut the fuck up" he says "what are you gona do"so I go to punch him and my fist moves realy slowly and does nothing to him.

also one night i was dreaming and i was almost about to be late for class I tryed to run but i started running in slow motion

Ahhhh... The infamous slow punch. That's very common in dreaming. What a pain in the ass!

It's very similar to the "bum legs" in dreams, where you're legs don't work right and you practically have to drag them along.

Omg yes thats another thing.

Trying to run in a dream, and your moving slow as molasses.

so very very annoying.

hmm thats never happend to me but it sounds annoying

Yeah slow punches and slow waking lol.

Of course my worst thing is when my fingers feel like they are being pressed against stuff...like I can't move them cause there is a wall or something...like my body in RL is moving but can't...

Yes, I'd say that's the case in most of my fighting dreams. Usually, though, I'm shooting a gun and hitting whatever person/animal/robot/etc. I'm aiming at, but my bullets aren't doing anything when they hit.

Off the top of my head, I can only think of two dreams I've had where shooting my opponent actually did anything; one from a couple of nights ago where I shot three soldiers who were trying to keep me from escaping, and another dream I had months ago, where I had a false awakening and ended up fighting a shadow entity in my bedroom while I was floating near the ceiling.

I always electricute people but it takes a while.

Yeah, that happens to me too, OP.

I've always found that grappling works just fine, though. And I can always beat DCs on the ground.

Ive had dreams where I was fighting a girl and I was choking her, I woke up choking myself and had a fat lip.
All the punches were really slow.

Ha, Yeah Ill try.

My punches aren't slow and my legs always work fine. My attacks just don't do jack diddly.

I remember I was fighting this midget guy (he was evil! lay off). I was picking him up by his legs and slamming him into the ground over and over and stomping his throat and he was just like "wtf..wuts goin on.."

This happens to me, too. Except, instead of punches, my magic spells I'm using against Voldemort don't hurt him at all.

I never fight anyone in my dreams. lol

I'm always running away and then fall, or can't run fast enough, like in a horror movie or something. Then, me = dead as door nail.

You fall too...I thought I was crazy for falling in dreams.

It sucks. I never trip over anything either.

lol dream cliché.

Yes me too...Gah.

I usually seem to do alright in a dream fight, but then it goes all blurry and i can't see, so i get owned

My punches don't go slow, but they sure act as though they do. It's a good thing I have few problems fleeing in my dreams, otherwise I'd get clobbered in a fist fight.

Dream guns seem to be just as harmless; I musta shot this one guy about five times in the back at point-blank range (with a friggin' double-barrel shotgun, no less), but he still didn't go down.

Very common dream theme, the invincible ennemy. I dont recall talking to anyone who remember their dreams that have'nt dream about something similar.

My own version always involves blades/knifes of some sort.

No matter how many time you manage to get good hits, you never seem able to gain the upper hand. In my case(probably most case) I also get hit, but they have effect.The typical resolution in my case is to either wake up, or run/go away.

Ive always assume it was a subcousious message about a crisis/situation you're facing. The message, in this case, is you are against uneven odds, reconsider your path. Or anyway, so I imagine.

yes I have had that type of dream, I realised that it was because in life I was angry, but my personality is one of non violent, so this was my dream making sense of the situation, showing me how ineffectual I was in frustrating situations. You may know where in life you have someone or something that makes life difficult but you do not want to or know how to stoop to the level required to deal with it.

When your punches aren't working, you can switch to jujitsu and choke people out, my close friend actually figured this trick out pretty recently and so far it works great.

If you can't beat them, join them. That's what I do with invincible enemies. Become a friend, talk kindly to him/her/it, etc.
