Passivity in the thinking process / inactivity towards fulfilling ones desires
Being 'Paralyzed' in a dream represents passivity in your thinking process and inactivity toward fulfilling your desires. Paralysis is the inability to move -- your body exists but it cannot take action. In the Universal Language of the Mind, this reflects a mind that has the capacity for thought and creation but is not using it. You are mentally stuck. You are not moving toward your goals. This is one of the most direct and urgent symbols your subconscious mind can send. You have desires. You have potential. You have the capacity to create. But you are not doing anything about it. Your thinking has become passive -- you are not directing your thoughts with intention. And without directed thought, there is no action. Without action, there is no progress. When paralysis shows up in your dream, it is a wake-up call. What have you been putting off? What goals have been sitting on your list untouched? What desires have you been daydreaming about without taking a single step toward? The formula is Ideal + Purpose + Activity = Success. You may have the ideal and the purpose, but without activity, nothing manifests. Move. Take action. Even one small step forward breaks the paralysis.
