What are possible meanings for dreams of wheelchairs?
A wheelchair in a dream can symbolize restriction. Movement is restricted for someone in a wheelchair, and movement in a dream can symbolize movement in your life.
For example, a teenager might dream about being in a wheelchair when pushed into a certain course of study or occupation by an authority figure. Coercion restricts one’s choices. Or think of movement in the literal sense. Mom and dad take the car keys, restricting the mobility of their child, or your car breaks down.
A physical disability that requires the use of a wheelchair can be a physical representation of a personal situation. You feel disabled in some way, perhaps emotionally, personally, or financially, or you have a personal weakness. Disability and weakness can limit you. Then again, the dream might be about overcoming adversity, limits, or weakness.
Along this line, think of the symbolism as possibly related to obstacles, feeling hampered, or at a disadvantage. For example, you dream about racing in a wheelchair against someone on a motorcycle, symbolizing being at a disadvantage.
A wheelchair might symbolize being treated as if you have a disability or personal weakness, not necessarily that you have one. This idea of how you are treated may be the case when you dream about being forced into a wheelchair. For example, people with autism can feel that they’re treated differently and dream about it as being strapped into a wheelchair, when they actually function just fine.
A wheelchair can symbolize special consideration. For example, a young man dreams about being in a wheelchair at a martial-arts tournament. He really is taking martial arts and expects special consideration, such as a person in a wheelchair might receive. The dream is showing him that he is overdoing it. He doesn’t actually need special consideration, he’s just trying to avoid having to do everything the other students do.

I was bound to a wheelchair? Interpret please
Dreamt that I went to dinner with an ex on what I found out at dinner was my actual birthday. As we left dinner he rolled me away in a wheelchair. I found this odd b/c thru out the duration of us dating he’s battled a terminal illness. So why was he pushing me in a wheelchair instead of vice versa? I’m open to hearing your interpretations

Dreamt of a demon & dreamt I had sleep paralysis and was screaming in my dream.
I have just remembered a dream I had last night and it’s freaking me out.
I dreamt I was asleep and someone whispered in my ear “ how dare you” twice. At first , in my dream, I couldn’t make out what they said but then I realised and tried to get up but something was stopping me from getting up and was pushing down on me. I started screaming and started saying “ in Jesus name you must leave this house. I condemn you back to hell” I also said Hail Mary and Our Fathers. Someone appeared and my paralysis stopped and the dream is hazy now. I remember telling who was there that it had happened a few times which I had felt.
It’s really spooked me especially as I may be a Christian but I’m not religious at all I’m more spiritual and and I believe in a little of everything.
Anyway ideas of analysis of this?
Some info about me. I’m 46. Been bedridden for 5 years after collapsing in university. Can’t go through rehabilitation until I am rehoused by my housing assoc to an adapted bungalow and I can get an electric wheelchair and learn how to sit upright again and be independent and eventually walk. I’m in my lounge on a hospital bed and i live with my 22 year old son who has autism. He is my carer.
I’m pretty down this week as I’m frustrated I can’t get up and do housework etc and I’m missing my late mother.
Thanks in advance.

What does it mean to have sex with a handicapped man in a wheelchair?
I dreamt that I was so in love with a stranger (a handicapped man in a wheelchair) that I had sex with him. The details weren’t shown tho but I know it happened, and I truly enjoyed the experience because I was in control of the situation. Weirdly enough, my parents were against me being in a relationship with him idk why exactly, and in my dream he was dealing with the “wrong crowd” in the neighbourhood, the type of people that steal, scam, etc…
What does this all mean…?

A Dream Within a Dream. Is this normal?
I woke up at one o'clock today. I went to sleep yesterday at around four. I know the timing is extremely weird, but I must write about the dream I had....
I had extremely high fever and my mom gave me some medicine and I went to sleep immediately. Then, I dreamt that I was in school, except the school was extremely dark and dingy and looked abandoned. The stairs and doors and classrooms were enormous. But the amount of desks and chairs were the same (we usually have 50 students in each class). So it looked like a classroom that was meant to accommodate 300 students only had 50.
We were wearing our school uniforms but on top of that we were all wearing lab coats. We were just entering a classroom, looking around, coming out and going to the next.
We walked up the enormous stairs and came to what looked like the common gathering room of our school but it was twice as big with a comfy red velvet sofa set and a tea table.
Beside that sofa set, was a girl in a wheelchair. I couldn't see who she was, she was hanging her head low and was wrapped up in blankets. My companions started walking up to her and hugging her. Then I finally noticed the other girls who were with me. I saw many who I didn't talk to or knew were there.
Then I started to feel extreme pain all over my torso. I didn't know what was going on. The others didn't notice anything because I wasn't able to talk, I wasn't able to move either. I just saw everyone go to the girl and hug her while I watched and felt pain without being able to do anything about it.
I woke up and was sitting on the small bed in our living room, that is why I was feeling pain apparently. I was sleeping sitting up while having high fever. I looked at the clock to see that it was five in the morning. I went to the bedroom to see my mom sitting up and looking at me. "Oh you're finally came back to the bedroom. Come here and sleep you are still sick", she told me. I tried to explain that I didn't try to do to the living room and she laughed and said that I probably sleep walked. I lay down and after some time fell asleep again succumbing to the fever.
Then I wake up after I fell a tap on my shoulder. My mom was smiling and telling me to get up because it was almost one.
I never had the fever. It was inside a dream. And that is where I had a fever dream about school.
I apparently had a dream within a dream. I woke up twice. Once from the dream inside the dream and then from that dream into reality. Is this normal? I was so scared.
