IMMOBILITY

Spiritual Meaning:
Immobility in the spiritual sense is dynamic stillness. It is The Unconditioned State, or the Self, liberated from the physical. In Sanskrit this is known as  pratyhara – withdrawal from the external world into the interior self.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
To be immobilized in a dream usually indicates that we have created circumstances around us which are now beginning to trap us. Often such a dream comes when we are facing the darker side of ourselves – that which could be called evil. A superhuman effort needs to be made to overcome what is holding us down.

Everyday Material Aspects:
Immobility in a dream can be extremely frightening. A feeling of oppression and of not being able to move usually indicates that we need to sit still and be immobile within our ordinary everyday lives. We need to achieve a kind of stillness which is foreign to most people,  and therefore initially frightening, while later on it can be a state of peace and tranquility.
