What are possible meanings for dreams of legs?
The uses and functions of a body part are the primary ways it’s used as symbolism in a dream. Legs are what you stand on, and what you stand on in the figurative sense are your values, principles, beliefs, and other aspects of who you are as a person. Legs move you, and physical movement in a dream can be a representation of movement in your life, opening up ripe possibilities for making comparisons and telling a story.
Legs are associated with strength. The largest muscle group in the body is the thigh. Therefore, legs may have symbolism related to strength or lack of it. Physical strength in a dream may mean personal strength—strength of character, conviction, or resolve.
Look closely at the actions involving legs, such as running and climbing, because through action the dream tells the story. See: Climbing, Running
For example, breaking a leg in a dream can mean a source of support is taken away, or harm is done to your ability to move ahead in life. It can mean that something suddenly comes to an end or breaks, such as a relationship or your will to keep moving forward with something. Kicking can symbolize hard feelings toward someone, or else “kicking into gear.”
Details related to legs in a dream can be used as symbolism. For example, missing legs can symbolize inability to walk away from something, or to “kick ass.” For an example, see: Family Business.
A rotting leg can symbolize something that’s gone on for too long, or been left unused, such as unused potential or strength.
Amputating a leg can symbolize causing harm to your ability to move ahead in life or with a plan. See: Amputation

Vivid dream about my boyfriend
I had a really vivid dream a couple months ago.
It started with me just standing outside an old rundown gas stations. It looked like no one had been there in years, and no one else was around. I walked inside and I saw three figures sitting at a table on the right, but I didn't pay much attention to them. The only thing not covered in dust and rust was a shiny new vending machine to the left. There was no employees behind the counter, in fact, the counter was completely torn apart.
I walked to the vending machine to get a snack. As im looking I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and my boyfriend is standing there. But hes standing weird, he seemed more confident then usual. I now see the other two people at the table. They're both also my boyfriend, but they were different. One looked meaner and was wearing a baggy tshirt. The other was sitting with their legs crossed, smiling at me kindly, and he was wearing my clothes. It was kinda like his feminine and masculine sides, and the one that tapped me on the shoulder was more like normal him, he was the "leader". It wasn't too weird cause sometimes he is more masculine, talking about football (soccer) and play fighting with me. Other times hes more feminine, he'll wear my clothes and makeup and watch rupaul's drag with me. So I think my brain just split him into 3 different people. (Imma just call them main boyfriend, feminine boyfriend, and masculine boyfriend to tell them apart)
The main guy asked me how im doing. I just said im good. He introduced me to the other two, and they both said hi. I started to get really nervous, and I didn't know why. I started having a panic attack, and main boyfriend reached out to comfort me, which freaked me out even more. I screamed for them not to touch me, I didn't want anyone near me. I ran to the corner and curled up into a ball. I was breathing heavily and crying and I didn't know what was going on. My boyfriend's circled around me, but gave me some space. They kept asking me what was wrong, but I didnt know. I just kept screaming and telling them to not get near me. My main boyfriend just stood up, walked over, and sat down on the ground next to me. He just "well, now im next to you" and a wave of calm rushed over me. I immediately stopped screaming and crying. I just looked over at him, and he was smiling at me.
Then I woke up, that was the end of the dream. Does anyone have any ideas on what this might mean?

Half a year ago, I died in a car wreck. After being resuscitated, I had an unconscious dream.
So, about half a year ago, I was in a technically fatal car accident. I was resuscitated by the paramedics but I eventually woke up in the ER while getting stitched up. While I was asleep I had a weird dream.
So when I got into my wreck, I was immediately knocked out cold. I dont remember the wreck at all. I had a "dream" where I had also gotten into a wreck but it wasn't bad in my dream. In my dream I also remember walking around my wrecked car and picking up some items that had fallen out. I also put my front bumper in the backseat. As I got back in my car, I woke up in the hospital.
The weird part is, thats obviously never happened.. it was all a dream. I broke my leg and had to get the jaws of life to get out. There wasn't any way I was walking. But I was knocked out immediately so there's no way I even knew I got into a car wreck.
Also, those particular items I was putting in my car (a charger, some clothes, my gym bag, and one of my college books) and my front bumper, were placed in my car how I out them in my dream, but it was done by whoever cleaned up my car wreck and towed my completely totaled car.
I've tried finding answers, but I usually end up with nothing.

Had the scariest, creepiest and weirdest dream in my entire life.
Had a dream that there was a 11-12 year old child inside a freezer.
I was hanging out with some people and one of them could hear some sounds coming from the freezer. They went to check it out and there was a girl inside. She jumped out and ran all the way downstairs like it was nothing. (we were in some sort of house) her legs, face and back were covered in ice.
There was someone who supposedly lived in this girl's household. I asked how come no one knew she was in that freezer and how come no one looked for her. Her reply was that everyone did look for her, but no one could find her. I asked how long has she been missing, she replied 12 hours. So the girl has been inside that freezer for 12 hours. I was shocked wasn't dead.
A little into the dream, I learn that men hate this girl, including her own father. They don't like that she doesn't stay still whenever they rub their genitals against her clothed body. They hate that she slides away. I also found out that her own messed up parents did put her in the freezer so she could die.
A lot of cars started pulling up to their house, as if they knew what was going on and they wanted to teach those inhumane parents a lesson. Before I woke up, I remember myself and other people were trying to shoot the mom because she was trying to run away. The ending felt a bit like a video game.
Honestly, what a creepy dream....

Dead bald eagle—the death of America?
Early morning of 8/29
I dreamt of driving down a highway in a pickup truck and seeing a dead bald eagle on the side of the road, with its legs up. I looked in the back window as we passed and casually commented “is that a dead bald eagle?” And the driver (unknown identity) sighs, and says “yeah” without a hint of surprise.
The next night (tonight) violent clashes occurred in Portland. A patriot prayer protestor was shot and killed.
This dream felt like it represented the death of the United States.
Curious to see what other interpretations you all have?

The Fallen Angel is in Aquarius
Last night my husband kept tossing and turning and whining as if he was almost crying at a certain point I realized he's calling me so I wake up and ask him what's wrong. He tells me that he had sleep paralysis and a really bad experience he looks terrified. He tells me that he had a dream of three women having sex with each other except they all had penises one of them was missing both her arms and another was missing both her legs only one of the women was actually full-bodied. The women were also wearing white mask with red lipstick on the lips of the Mask. for some reason this causes him to wake up and have a sleep paralysis experience and he tells me that during this sleep paralysis experience something whispered into his ear and told him to tell me that the Fallen Angel is in Aquarius.
Not sure what this means but if anyone can help me out.
