I have been wondering about a dream I have with some frequency. It always involves me attempting to punch somebody in the face, but when I swing at them my movement is slowed, like it's moving through thick treacle, and the punch does little or no damage to the person (it's a different person every time). I feel a great deal of frustration as I repeatedly attempt to injure the person, only to have my punch be completely ineffective. It's gotten to the point where I feel if I had to try and strike someone in real life, the same thing would happen, that I am essentially powerless to defend myself.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what this could mean? I have had extremely violent, disturbing dreams where I have hurt someone (one involved me smashing a person's head repeatedly into a pavement), but these slow-mo punch dreams have been predominant over the past few months.
By the way, I am not a violent person at all...I have punched a few people in my life, but I can count them on one hand. As far as I know I don't have any anger issues. I feel this dream may have something to do with my personal sense of power and control, but I would like an outside opinion.
