Paralysis Dreaming that you are paralyzed can mean:
› Feeling unable to make progress of your own accord in your life, or in a particular situation
› Feeling held back, especially by your own self, or perhaps even feeling self-sabotaged
› Feeling indecisive, ineffective, or overwhelmed› The idea of valuing something that you tend to
take for granted in your life A body part that is paralyzed often means
you're feeling impaired or held back in the area represented by that body part. See also the particular body part› www.thecuriousdreamer.com
