This dream may be a warning of depression that you might be bottling up inside and that you should take care of before it paralyzes you. Other authors consider that this dream should be interpreted as a feeling of being unable to respond to certain problems that are bigger than you. You should pay close attention to people who may be helping out in the dream because they represent the support that you have, which is either referring to actual people or personal qualities that you possess and which you should strengthen.
