I never thoguht what this re-accuring sensation in my dreams could mean. It's not in ever dream, but has been in many over the past few years. In a few cases I've been swimming and I could never get to the shore, the tide kept pulling me back. I would get to the same spot then just be pulled back no matter how hard I tried. Same thing happened in dreams where I was trying to run fast, mostly to get away from something. I would try to run as fast as I could, but I would barley make any ground and I would just keep trying and trying to run with no success. Could anyone tell me what they think of this?
