I have a reaccuring dream that has me walking with a severe limp, like one of my legs, usually the right leg, is a couple of inches shorter than the other. The dream is very odd - I have feelings of humiliation, (because of the limp) and a sense of being alone (not literally, but kind of emotionally) - I'm always walking in a public type surrounding, and feel like I just want to get where I'm trying to go (I never have an actual destination in the dream, I'm just walking, trying to cover up the limp as best I can) I guess I should call it a re-accuring theme, rather than dream because the dreams do vary with specifics, just the leg thing is consistent. I've been having dreams involving the limp for years - any ideas what limping in dreams might mean? (by the way, I consider myself fairly happy, have not been publicly humiliated, and have a great family and friend group... unless my subconcious feels otherwise? )

Recurring Dreams
Most dreams contain messages that serve to teach you something about yourself. However, soon after you wake up to go about your daily routine, you tend to quickly forget what you dream about. The message in recurring dreams may be so important and/or powerful that it refuses to go away. The frequent repetition of such dreams forces you to pay attention and confront the dream. It is desperately trying to tell you something. Such dreams are often nightmarish or frightening in their content, which also helps you to take notice and pay attention to them.

Recurring dreams are quite common and are often triggered by a certain life situation or a problem that keeps coming back again and again. These dreams may recur daily, once a week, or once a month. Whatever the frequency, there is little variation in the dream content itself. Such dreams may be highlighting a personal weakness, fear, or your inability to cope with something in your life - past or present.

The repetitive patterns in your dream reveal some of the most valuable information about yourself. It may point to a conflict, situation or matter in your waking life that remains unresolved or unsettled. Some urgent underlying message in your unconscious is demanding to be understood."
