Lead-leg Dream Genes

Ever had that dream where your legs feel like lead and you can't walk normally because they are so heavy? On part two of our seventeen-hour road trip home from our Idaho vacation Blake and I started talking about recurring dreams. Blake had never had this dream before, this dream of walking somewhere in public and suddenly not walking right because of stiff legs. I've had it several times. Smalls piped up from the backseat that he'd had this dream before. Once I was telling my parents about this dream and they said they'd both had this dream too. Blake and I concurred there must be a genetic propensity for having lead-leg dreams and that I must be a carrier. Which explains why my son dreams it too. Such is the nature of conversations in seventeen-hour car rides.

I also have a recurring dream that I'm back in high school or college, one of the two, and it's the day before finals and I haven't been to class all semester and don't know where my books are and can't find my locker, much less remember my locker combination.

I don't know what that dream means, but I did find out what the lead-leg dream means. Apparently (according to the following video) I, like Bob, am tied up inside. I need to untie my knots. Baby steps, Untie my knots. Unheavy my legs.




Ever had this dream?

Now that I think about it, I did have similar dreams when I was younger of being in a situation where I needed to get away fast, but then my legs wouldn't work, so of like when you wanted to scream, but your voice won't work.

But I have had a recurring dream where all my teeth fall out - it's very disturbing. So I looked up it's interpretation, at least someone's interpretation: http://www.dream2live.com/dream_meanings_teeth_falling_out.php

So since I have had similar dreams, it only corroborates your theory of the lead-leg dream genes (say it three times fast!)
