Hey Pandas, What Never Goes Right In Your Dreams? (Closed)

Many people have something that always goes wrong in dreams. Some people cant punch hard.
For me, it's locks. Every door I lock in my dreams becomes unlocked.
What is always not working in your dreams?

#1

My ability to scream. I have nightmares about being kidnapped or something sometimes, and I can never scream. It makes it so much more terrifying because in that moment I really think "I can't scream. No one will hear me. I'm going to be kidnapped."

My body. Most of the time I can't move in my dreams. Especially when it's really important, like a car is about to hit me or something

My environment. Whenever I’m dreaming about “being home” or “being at school” etc, it’s almost never my actual school or house etc. It’s usually vastly different every time and my brain just goes “yup this is right!” Also, I get Deja vu with my dreams. Lately whenever I have a dream I think to myself “Oh I’ve had this dream before” but then I REALLY think and I go “Wait..have I??”

I sometimes struggle to walk, like one leg is quite longer than the other. I sometimes wonder if in a past life I had polio or some other leg deformity and that is why I keep having dreams about it lol

I have trouble yelling something out, usually, I'm mute in my dreams. Maybe it has something to do with being ignored, idk.

I CANT EAT FOOD

I can’t dial a friend, family or emergency services for help. I just can’t seem to navigate my phone to do it.

I can’t look around as in I can see straight ahead of me but I can’t turn my head
I will also have trouble screaming or speaking in my dreams and I will try to talk but nothing comes out
I also can’t read anything I will constantly try but it will just be blurry

A lot of times Hitler starts chasing me when I’m just doing random stuff

I can't complete "the action" that will make the dream follow the path I want it to. Doesn't really matter what "the action" is. It could be opening a door and leaving, driving somewhere or kissing someone.
Odd thing is that a lot of times my dream will then restart and I'll get stuck in a dream loop, never being able to get past the same point.

Everything always goes wrong…I’m lost, I forgot to put pants on, I’m home but it’s not my home…you name it. Sometimes I’d just prefer a monster or something. But no, my dreams are boring.

Most night I can't even dream, so I just sleep seeing nothing and then I wake up most of the time

Being able to read anything. I assume a sign says something but when I really look at it in my dreams, its just a bunch of random letters and shape put together and don't really say anything at all.

I keep dreaming about the past. Worst is when I realize I am still at school or university and realize I have still two or three years to go until I graduate, get my bachelors or my PHD. It’s horrible and such a relief waking up and realizing I am luckily 20 years beyond the fear of failing at university. Only time I am happy not to be a tween with scholar pressure anymore.

I can't...see in dreams. Like I know where things are around me but there's never a picture in my head if what's going on

I can’t yell. When I hit or kick people, it’s insanely weak. Like it’s as if I lightly flicked them. While I rarely feel pain in my dreams, the scale is usually off. I got attacked by wolves in one of my dreams and the bites felt very soft.

#17

That my ex-husband didn’t love me. I’ve been divorced for almost 17 years and I’ll dream of him at least twice a month. In my dream I go everywhere with him and when I try to kiss him he tells me that he can’t because he doesn’t love me. When I wake up I think “I KNOW he didn’t love me. I don’t want to be reminded”. I loved him so very much.

I can’t run. If there’s something in my dream I need to run from I just stay put. It’s scary.

I float everywhere like a ghost instead of walking, apart from that my dreams are very normal and boring 😅

I can never dial phone numbers. I just keep pushing buttons and it never works.
