Do You Walk In Your Dreams?

I mean sometimes my neck was still broken and my chair is in the dream but I never use it. I walk or run and on a personal note I have some of the best sex ever.

Then I have times where I am walking in the dream and I fall over..usually a person with me in the dream will help me and I will exclaim that I am OK! and that I just need my wheelchair.
another dream I have is one which I can't find my chair..In this dream I wander through rooms or streets or sometimes the sea and try and find my chair. The odd thing is I am unsure of whether I am in another chair looking for mine b/c its in the first person and hazy.
One night when I was an inpatient at the hospital I had a very vivid dream whereby I was in my chair and someone had welded the locks/brakes so I couldn't move and no matter what I did I couldn't get them off and everyone in my dream was oblivious to my protests and cries!
I have of course had normal everyday dreams where I am talking or doing stuff and most of the time I am using a chair, sometimes its hard to tell and occasionally I am running and my legs turn to lead and then I am stuck!...but I had that dream ( the lead legs one) pre wheelchair..so not sure it means anything..

I had a dream, just last night, I knew I was paralyzed and I was sitting on the edge of my bed and I was like "Ok Im gonna do it. I might fall, But Im gonna try" then I slowly got my left leg going and before too long I was walking through my room.. it was supposed to be that moment I walk again. I guess.
I have dreams that Im out with others, and Im trying to walk.. completely aware that Im paralyzed but I seem to have this compromise.. where I can walk for half the dream and be paralyzed the other half. I tell everyone around me that "Im paralyzed but only sometimes. It comes and goes"
Wouldnt that be nice..
There is always a wheelchair in my dreams..
Kinda changing the subject here, but I have dreams that I can pee all the time too. Its like my big thing. Once I can walk I usually try to go use a restroom in my dreams.. and I always pee. Im just waiting for the day when I wake up in a big puddle following one of those dreams!

Speaking of dreams, is it odd that in 14years post accident I’ve never had a dream where I was wheelchair bound? I walk in every dream that I’m in. Sometimes I have a limp, or need a cane, but never a wheelchair. Just thought that was odd.

Sometimes I start out walking then stop being able to.

and sometimes I dream that I've recovered, stumble a few steps, then jump with joy that I can walk. I start calling everyone up in excitement...... seems so real......
then I wake up, and slip into brief depression.

The next one I was in my wheelchair on the roof of some building. Somehow I got to close to the edge and fell over. I grabbed the edge with my one good arm, let my chair fall below, and held on as long as I could. Finally lost grip and man, that feeling of falling backwards knowing what was to come just gave me a shock in my chest. Next, there I was floating up again looking down on myself. (I can vividly remember seeing my body all mangled up).
Then there was one where I was cruising along a river bank with my dad that had about a 10 foot drop at it's edge. I wanted to smoke a cig so I let him take control of my joystick so we could keep going. Ended up getting to close to the edge and next thing I knew I was head first in about 4 feet of water with my wheelchair on top of me holding me down. I can remember feeling that burn when I sucked water into my lungs after I couldn't hold my breath any longer. There again I was floating up looking down watching my dad trying to pull my chair over.
The last one I was in my chair again, but this time I could use my body. It would be a struggle to get up out of my chair and walking was awkward cause my legs would always feel numb beneath me but I was at least able. Then I remember seeing this huge tornado coming and I just rolled outside to see it (I still don't know why). I struggled out of my chair and worked my way to this big tree and grabbed on for dear life. Next thing I knew I was sucked up into the air and things started battering my body everywhere. Finally something big hit me and then next thing I was above the clouds looking down through the eye of the twister.
Weird schizzit, huh? I used to wake up in the dark and not know where I was or if I was even alive. Lately, I can remember a lot of just boring dreams and most of the time in my chair but still able to move. It's always that same struggle to get up and walk with numb legs though. My right arm never seems to work right in any of my dreams. Boy, I must of really messed that one up. Sometimes I even wake up yelling at stuff and wake up the rest of the house.
I know I'm going on n on but I get a lot of weird dreams. I dream that I can float, or fly, IN my wheelchair even (sometimes not) but it's always hard to control fine movements in the air and dodging telephone poles, lol. Really, I'd get just high enough that I'd have to dodge wires n poles.
Ok, I'm done. I just have a lot of weird, vivid, color dreams that I often wonder about. They say you dream in black and white, but that's bull. I see color, A lot.
Next....

You should look into the meaning to some of those more significant dreams. You might find it pretty interesting. Dream Dictionarys are pretty fun to look up random items in, but getting down to the deep and personal symbolic meanings for those crazy dreams can bring you lots of awareness to whats really going on. You'd be surprised.
If you believe in those kinda things...
I'm sure someone here is ready to tell me dreams have no meaning.. go ahead.

Some of mine are pretty random haha. I think the smae dream to 2 people may not mean the same thing necessarily though.
According to freud dreams are a way of dealing with things we repress inot our subconscious mind as we don't want to deal with them in the conscious mind!
It's all quite fascinating!

I don't actually act it out but run a conversation in my head.
If I dream of entering a room and sit in a armchair when I notice a head pass by the window: I'll ask questions of the room about who/what it is etc and then I'll be the room talking back the answers. The same with the chair. Then a conversation of the passing head which was only a fleeting glimpse. Who are you? What do you want. I switch to pretending I'm the head and give answers.
Sometimes it gives me insight. Other times I get nothing. Just a fun game that sometimes gives the dream more meaning.
Although I cannot move and I have to speak through a computer, in my mind I am free.

oh, i've had many vivid dreams since childhood and often wondered of their meaning, if any at all. i kind of grew up the scientific/skeptical type. i even had a dream of me being in a chair when i was like 13. it felt so real that it always stuck in my head. then 1 day about 2 years after my accident, total dejavu when i was suddenly in the exact place with the exact people that were in the dream. i was in total since and have looked into dreams and their meanings lots since. my step dad does Reiki healing which at 1st was pretty unsure of but went ahead with it as open as i could. the mind is a strange place. as skeptical as i may be, some pretty strange and wondrous things have happened to me since exploring it. i dont know. i could go on but thats sure to turn into a whole new discussion with, im sure, many rebuttals. i would like to know what you know and think about all that and anyone else who explores the mind and their dreams. anyways....

Then at 6 mos I dreamed I was in my wheelchair.
I realized I'd accepted my diisability.
Now I never dream. Nada
Why is that? I'd like to dream something.
It's been years.
