My SO and I were discussing dreams over the weekend and I realized that there is a weird recurring feature to my dreams. I am (almost?) never able to run in them. When I try, I stumble, or I'm unable to take full strides and have to sort of hobble along, or my feet slide backwards with each step, and I can't move above a walking pace. However, I'm sometimes able to drop to all fours and move quickly that way. I wonder if the dreaming part of brains (or, at least, my brain) is more directly connected to some older portion of the motor control part of the brain, so that it more readily imagines that sort of movement?
