Dream Symbol
paralysis

Dreaming that you are paralyzed can mean:

• You're feeling unable to make progress of your own accord in your life, or in a particular situation
• You're feeling held back, especially by your own self, or perhaps even feeling self-sabotaged
• You're feeling indecisive, ineffective, or overwhelmed
• The idea of valuing something that you tend to take for granted in your life

A body part that is paralyzed often means you're feeling impaired or held back in the area represented by that body part. See also the particular body part.
