Action Dreams

Falling, flying, running, hiding, being chased, being unable to move. The verbs of our dreams often reveal what the noun-bound waking mind has tried not to notice.

Why these actions appear in dreams

Action dreams arrive when a feeling has become too pressurised to stay still. Pursuit, paralysis, falling, escape — these are the body's grammar for emotion that has not yet been spoken.

The same action can repeat for years until the underlying situation in life shifts. The dream is not the problem; it is the messenger.

Notice the verb. If the same action keeps returning, something in your waking life is rehearsing the same scene — and asking, quietly, for a different ending.
