Abilities

Abilities - At critical moments in the dream, your abilities may surprise you with their changes, both towards empowerment and limitation. And this applies to both mental and physical abilities. Suddenly you find that you have the richest arsenal of knowledge to solve a problem or acquire the necessary skill for any task. In other cases, you suddenly lose the skills and abilities that you need at this moment.

Acquisition - The strange thing about acquiring knowledge is that it is drawn from your own mind in a dream.

If, upon awakening, you believe that the process used to solve the problem in the dream was logical, you may want to reflect on similar problems in your real life. Your brain, being in a state of sleep, chooses such ways of solving a problem that in real life you have already excluded from consideration or about which you have never thought. What was the essence of the skills you acquired? Were they logical, practical, or completely unimaginable in real life?

Loss - Of course, you can just as easily forget something or lose an ability. In dreams of this nature, your self-doubt, fears that you may be incompetent, gain the upper hand over your knowledge. Physically, the loss of ability can be expressed as a sudden weakness or loss of sensory perception, such as sight, speech or hearing.

Sudden weakness can be caused by the body's actual awareness of its state during sleep, as sleep paralysis affects motor abilities in REM sleep. Dreams about the loss of other physical skills, such as driving a car, throwing an object, or performing tasks related to your work, may reflect memory loss or an underestimation of some detail of a problem that is bothering you in waking life. Who is there for you in the last moment of losing a skill? What are you trying to accomplish? How does this event correspond to your real life?
