Dreaming is a very interesting topic to talk about; wherever you take it. On a topic not as interesting as sentences, but as strange as they are, that every person must experience at least once. Today we will talk about a phenomenon.

In your dreams; when you’ve been chased, tried to hit someone, or tried to scream until you’re out of breath, but that your legs are like pasta because you can’t run that your arms are like jelly because you can’t punch and open your mouth all the way you cannot scream the air with which you fill your lungs there are moments, this is why they happen?

First, let’s talk about the explanations about the reasons for the problems of “not being able to hit” and “running” in dreams, which are related to our muscles;

• The first description describes the physical cause of the incident:
  • We can’t hit while dreaming because our body is temporarily paralyzed during REM sleep so we don’t hurt ourselves.
• The second explanation is a bit more psychological:
  • We can’t smash into a dream because our subconscious is holding us back. Since most of the threats we encounter in our dreams are a reflection of problems in real life, we don’t feel confident enough to eliminate them. In other words, we cannot overcome the physical threats that we cannot overcome in real life, including in dreams.

A person’s physical condition is how he moves in real life and therefore it also affects how you hit. When a person is about to hit, a request is sent from the brain and the arm is moved with sensory feedback from the nerves of the arm muscles. However without physical stimulus (i.e. as in a dream), the brain can’t measure how hard it is to throw a punch.

When we punch, our brain calculates the weight of our arm, the muscle strength we have, and the softness of the opponent the punch will hit. Without this physical data, ie in REM sleep Although partially paralyzed, our brains can only guess at the punch we’re about to throw.

the part of the brain that regulates sensory output Thalamuslimits the transmission of the motor signals necessary to complete the fist movement, as well as the perception of joint motion data. That’s why When we are in a dream, we feel that our arms are jelly.

There is a similar situation in why we cannot run fast in a dream.

Similar to throwing a punch, our brain sends a prompt to our leg muscles when they run in real life, and the leg muscles provide sensory feedback. Similarly, the brain calculates the strength of your leg muscles and the hardness of the ground your feet hit. Calculates how far your legs are thrown forward.

However, because we are partially paralyzed in the dream state, i.e. REM sleep, we are unable to visualize physical data, similar to our inability to spank. our brain makes a guess and therefore cannot get stable results. So our legs are it feels like long cooked pasta.

We will consider not being able to scream separately in a dream; because this action is controlled by a different part of the brain. But again, there are two types of statements:

• Physical description:
  • During REM sleep, the parts of our brain that control speech are very low active. For this reason, we cannot shout or form good sentences even if we wanted to.
• psychological explanation:
  • Due to the fact that the situations in which we live oppress us, and therefore we cannot express ourselves correctly, our subconscious mind also makes us unable to speak properly in our dreams, venting our anger by shouting and being unable to to express our anger. ourselves.

We said that while dreaming we are in REM sleep. Of course, our brain is still active in this state, but some parts of the brain are works much less than others. Two of these are underemployed regions Broca and Wernicke called fields.

These two brain areas are ours controls our speaking and reading ability. Therefore, while we are dreaming, we cannot form a sentence properly while talking to the person in front of us. can’t scream and reading a document We can’t choose letters.

We have briefly mentioned the psychological causes of these situations above, of course not for nothing:

We have given physical explanations for the causes of these conditions, but these are not insurmountable problems. The solution is to make these moves not being able to lies in the psychological cause.

The answers to such questions a forum where people discuss One person on Quora, who is the first person, describes the situation of “not being able to throw a fist in a dream”:

“One day in my dream I had to hit the threat in front of me, but I couldn’t shake hands with my opponent and this situation made me insecure. Then I signed up for a boxing class and learned how to really throw a punch. After a while I faced a similar threat in my dream and this time I had the confidence to know how to hit and had a solid hook.

Another platform where people discuss the answers to these types of questions. on Reddit A person describes how he overcame the state of “not being able to scream in a dream”:

“At one point, when I was subjected to a series of nightmares, all my enemies and obstacles fell on me in my dreams. I just couldn’t scream and call for help. In real life, I was not someone who had the ability to express myself very much.

Now these dreams really started to tire me and I started getting psychological support. My doctor suggested that I solve my problems by talking to my obstacles. Indeed, I did, and I began to express myself. I felt much better. I was now able to scream and ask for help in a similar nightmare I had long after.

What actually happened to this friend, ‘lucid dreams’that is, it slips into the “lucid dream” event.

‘ in Englishlucid dreamsreferred to as ‘our’ ‘clear dream’ The situation we mention, in its most basic form, is compared to normal in the dreams that people see in their sleep. It’s called having more awareness.

Normally they are not conscious during REM sleep, but during a lucid dream people become conscious. Therefore, they are given the opportunity to control what happens in your dream. According to the data About 55% of people have experienced lucid dreaming at least once in their lives.

As a result; The people who narrated the events had a higher consciousness in their dreams because they found a way to overcome the obstacles they were stuck in their dreams.

Someone was able to become conscious in his dream and perform this action because he learned to swing his fist, and someone was able to develop his communication skills and be able to talk to people with whom he dared not speak, became conscious and performed this action in his dream… It should not be taken as a generalization.
