Slower Traffic, Keep Right

I have noticed an interesting trend in the dreams I've had recently. I've been incredibly lethargic, slow moving and sometimes asleep during certain parts of dreams. This got me thinking; what does this mean since the majority of scenes in these dreams do not make sense what so ever. Everything is so abstract and forever changing, pushing me to focus on how I actually FEEL during these dreams rather than whats going on around me.

So what does this sluggish tendency I have been having actually mean??

According to dreammoods.com and a few various other sources (friends, own knowledge, random dream books I have)... there are several things to think about. To make this easier, I will tear it down into specific instances within a dream and what I was feeling at that time.

1) My older sister, two others and myself were on our way to some tackle shop/liquor store (weird combo I know). They were constantly having to slow down and even stop to wait up for me. I kept feeling incredibly exhausted and could barely keep up with them. All I wanted to do was sleep and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get my body to move any quicker. If you feel tired in your dream, it is supposed to suggest how I really feel in my waking life; emotionally drained and stressed.

2) My co-worker was getting married at my mothers house. I fell asleep before the ceremony began and accidentally slept through the whole thing. Upon waking up in my dream, I still felt sleepy and had a hard time moving around, almost like I was moving in slow motion. Several emotions stem from this as I was ASLEEP in my dream, SLEEPY and MOVING IN SLOW MOTION.

To dream you are sleeping can suggest a peace of mind but it could also mean I am ignorant of the conditions around me, which I was in the dream, but what of my waking life? This also goes along with death; pushing for renewal and/or a new beginning. The sleepiness in my dream is telling me I am letting an opportunity pass me by but I could be missing some important information I need in order to make a decision. Last but not least, to dream I am moving in slow motion implies I have a feeling of anxiousness, powerless or frustration. I may be going through some tough issues that are causing stress, giving me a feeling of immobilization.

Now that I've laid it out... I have a better understanding of what my dreams are actually trying to tell me. I've been thinking about making a life-changing decision the last couple of months on whether I should join the military or not. Weighing the pros and cons, talking to those in the military or have been before, benefits and what I need to do in order to be ready for this... Aaaand I just don't think I am ready to make the decision right now, which in turn is causing me a bit of frustration since I'm technically running out of time (more on this later). Luckily, I have another six months or so before I really need to make up my mind sooooo hopefully learning my stress because of this is causing me to dream this nonsense, I will be a little more aware of my feelings on the situation.
