In a few recent dreams, I try to do something cool, even something mundanely cool (like riding a horse, for instance) and I am always stopped.

In one dream, I tried to get into a drag racer that was supposed to be futuristic and would go very fast. I had to climb down a rope ladder to reach it but my legs got caught in it and I never got to ride in the car.

Another instance was a dream where a bunch of family members and I were going to ride in this thing that looked like a turquoise pipe (no seats or anything). I got scared of riding and got off. I did some things and when everyone came back, I learned they had stopped in India and I thought "Darn, why didn't I ride the tube?"

I also can't do anything like fly, teleport, or any basic manipulation (i tried to use a gun in a dream and it only went *click* even after I willed it to go *BANG*)

How do I fix this? I heard it has something to do with self esteem. I want to do something other than walk around and stare at my dreams.
