Have you ever had comforting dreams when you were depressed? One night i was at a very dark place in my head. I had no hope to hang on to and was very mentally disturbed. That night In a dream a beautiful lady all in white came to me and i felt a pure joy that I never had before. Another time I was deeply depressed and in a dream a cute little pudgy gnome woman with dancing eyes, black hair, and, (of course) a pointed red gnome hat ran up to me out of the darkness and gave me hug, which was what I really needed at the time; someone to show me they cared.
I hope to see the gnome again but I feel I've seen the white lady a few times since then.
No but I had a paralyzing dream once when I was in elementary school I still remember to this day. You could say it's akin to "the woman" sitting on your chest or the akin "alien abduction" dreams. My paralyzer was a swirling portal though on top of the covered walkway that lead to my elementary school gym. I've always been athletic though so that wasn't the "deeper" meaning lol. I don't really buy into that deeper meaning shit 99% of the time anyway though. I once flapped my arms and flew in a dream but who doesn't want to fly?
