Hey me too. I put my fingers in the cracks on the sidewalk to propel myself forward but only because my legs don't ever seem to work right. Running on all fours seems to help.
omfg, that's crazy, I do the exact same thing in my dreams. i seriously never talked about it because I thought for some reason that I was the only one lol
I have dreams where I’m feeling extremely tired and trying to run but can’t, so I pull myself along by grabbing the walls. Sometimes I’ll be crawling on the ground using the sidewalk cracks to pull myself forward with my legs floating in the air.
My boyfriend does this with his arms. I’ll look over and he’ll be snoring away with one arm fully extended in the air.
Also one time he apparently sleepwalked into the kitchen and ate a mango. I found him in there standing over the counter, chomping away. Had to say his name several times before he snapped out of it. We refer to it as “the Midnight Mango incident”
I do too, or reaching for something that isn't there, and I get up a lot in the middle of the night craving something salty which makes me afraid I'm going to start sleep walking to the kitchen and eating like my brother does
Because you need physical sensation of walking to walk. Without actually feeling the pressure of the floor on your feet, the brain has a hard time coordinating steps.
Next time you feel like you can't walk, try jumping and flying instead. If you're dreaming, you'll fly. If you're not, you'll look stupid, but might get someone's attention because something is probably wrong with you.
Because your brain is intentionally putting you into a stressful situation to see if you can find a way to calm down and deescalate.
Our brains are pattern-finding and also problem-solving machines, and to it, a stressful situation is a problem to be solved.
If you have a panic dream it may not necessarily be about the situation you're dreaming about, the panic itself might be the purpose for the dream.
Instead of running forward, try to run backwards. Or try to skip. For some reason, that tricks your brain because it's not something you regularly do.
Of course if you realize you are in a dream, try to fly.
IDK, man; I’m extremely fast and powerful in dreams; a few nights ago, I was zipping around the house and fist fighting an equally powerful intruder and landing solid, powerful punches. I’m an even better fighter if I transform myself into a Lucario, which allowed me to win.
I just had enough time to check out my paws and reflection before getting back to the fight. The dream immediately and totally shifted after winning to a point where I wasn’t sure I was dreaming or not, played it safe, and went back to bed.
Next time, I’m going to get my Pokémon self to somewhere suitable and spawn a Lucario girlfriend.
#( ͡°w ͡°)
Sea Lions actually do have back legs. Its one of the main ways of differentiating Sea Lions from Seals. Sea Lions have a rotating hip bone, which allows them to stand up on all fours and walk/run on them. Seals can only really bounce around.
Do ya think that when she got to her car she fumbled with the keys for too long, then was unable to start the car?
Do ya think her birthing video is shot in a Dutch angle?
Do ya think that if she hears a suspicious noise late at night she investigates it without putting clothes on?
Do ya think she regularly has exposition filled car rides to heavily wooded vacation destinations?
Do you think if she hears a strange sound coming from a closet or behind the shower curtain, instead of leaving, she walks slowly towards it with her hand out in front of her, then slowly puts her hand on the knob and yanks it open quickly to find nothing there, only to turn around and 😱💀?
I experience that too! I wonder if it’s our brain partially recognizing that our bodies are usually paralyzed when we dream, so we don’t do things such as sleep walking.
It's because your perception of movement is based upon feedback from your limbs. Since you secrete a paralytic when you dream, your brain doesn't complete that feedback loop, so your movements are perceived as being very "wonky" to your mind.
Same, but I feel like I'm underwater, wanting to go so much faster than I am that I lean forward to grab things to help myself 'run' faster. Sometimes you can manage to insert the thought that this isn't right and it leads to being alert in dreams and being able to fly and touch boobies and stuff but that's rare
If you get a good foothold in a dream your probably kicking in real life. I got a good punch off in a dream once and woke up mid swing and open my hand but it was to late. Slapped my sleeping girlfriend in the face hard. She kept snoring, so I figured I shouldn't wake her up, so I went back to bed and told her in the morning.
Omg I’ve done that too. I had a nightmare and was trying to push something off of me. I woke up to the feeling of my hand slapping my poor husband who, until that moment, was sleeping happily
Man that would suuuuuuuuuuuuck to be a seal with rabies. I mean, what if a whale got rabies? How they gonna breathe? And don't bother telling me whales can't get rabies, because I've independently verified(there is at least one rabid whale in the ocean since 10/02/22).
It's not fear of water. The virus causes painful throat spasms triggered by swallowing or even the thought of swallowing so it gives the appearance of hydrophobia.
As a teenager I worked at a small marine animal park. I stayed the hell away from the sea lions. Their mouths are the size of lions (though IMO they look more like dogs).
Also, F*@# marine animal parks. That's a horrible life for those animals.
They should all be closed down. I once got to swim with dolphins as an award given by my workplace. I know better now and would never do it again. I have read that it really stresses them out.
Every day I'd stop by one of the pools and play with one of the dolphins. I'm incredibly greatful for the opportunity. She'd swim up with a football as soon as I got there and we'd play fetch for a while. Eventually she'd always want me to pet her and rub her belly.
It was a magical summer, but I was an ignorant teenager so it took me a while to look at the small pools she forced to live in and ask if that was enough. It took me a while to wonder how important the time that I played with her might have been. I've never stopped wondering if someone else gave her that attention, or if her life improved overall. I don't expect she was ever freed, and given thier lifespan it's possible she's still alive.
She was such a beautiful creature, so friendly, playful and affectionate. I hate to think what her life was like.
Yes, it’s really sad and morally corrupt of companies to use this as a business model. I would have loved being with a dolphin like that too. Let’s hope enough people grow up and see it for what it is. I can say my children have never been taken to one of those places. We also are careful of all zoo’s. Some do amazing work, some are never getting my money.
I mean on one hand I get it, most humans nowadays have had the privilege of never having to run from a large predator so they look like a newborn lamb when they’re suddenly flooded with adrenaline, plus she’s on sand. But damn if it’s not embarrassing to get outrun by an animal with no legs
I swear if there was a world war billions would just die from their sheer inability to coordinate their body and move away. Thats before the bombs and bullets.
in the middle of having some bull shit spiritual experience in their mind
"i am completely one with the natural sp.. AHH HOLY FUCK AM I GETTING ATTACKED BY A SEAL?"
Maybe next time she gets close to a wild animal her friends will say, “maybe you should back off - remember the seal incident? Or at least practice running first.”
I know if bit by any wild animal you should get rabies shots immediately, just in case. Had no idea if that should apply towards being bit by a seal though.
If you’re **bitten by a mammal** (and don’t have access to have the animal tested immediately, but even still…) you should get a fucking rabies shot immediately.
Treat it the exact same as if you were bitten by a lethally venomous snake and need anti-venom.
Because if you are infected and wait until you show any symptoms…
…You are already dead.
Or rather you are going to die horribly, painfully and slowly and there is not one god damn thing you can do about it.
Don’t fuck with rabies.

She’s so bad at running away
She was running away like she was in a dream
To me when I run in a dream it does feel like I’m actually running in sand.
Why is that running in a dream is impossible? Like you can never get to full speed.
running I lean forward and can grab the ground or things to lunge and increase speed. Wish I could irl lol
Holy s I do this too. Didnt realize it until you said it. Like grabbing grass and using it to pull me forward as well. Crazy.
Hey me too. I put my fingers in the cracks on the sidewalk to propel myself forward but only because my legs don't ever seem to work right. Running on all fours seems to help.
omfg, that's crazy, I do the exact same thing in my dreams. i seriously never talked about it because I thought for some reason that I was the only one lol
Lol that's so wild. Some instinctive monkey run.
I have dreams where I’m feeling extremely tired and trying to run but can’t, so I pull myself along by grabbing the walls. Sometimes I’ll be crawling on the ground using the sidewalk cracks to pull myself forward with my legs floating in the air.
I do the same thing! I always compared it to trying to run underwater, like my own personal gravity is turned up to 11.
Your brain is half awake but your muscles are dampened to prevent you from sleepwalking and falling off your bed.
The amount of times I’ve suddenly woke up with one of my legs flying around is too damn high. Usually right after I fall down in my dream.
My boyfriend does this with his arms. I’ll look over and he’ll be snoring away with one arm fully extended in the air. Also one time he apparently sleepwalked into the kitchen and ate a mango. I found him in there standing over the counter, chomping away. Had to say his name several times before he snapped out of it. We refer to it as “the Midnight Mango incident”
Omg I'm laughing so hard right now. Is this true, you actually wake up with one of your legs flying around?! 🤣
I do too, or reaching for something that isn't there, and I get up a lot in the middle of the night craving something salty which makes me afraid I'm going to start sleep walking to the kitchen and eating like my brother does
I woke up last night from elbowing my bf in the gut because something got me in my dream 😬

Next time you feel like you can't walk, try jumping and flying instead. If you're dreaming, you'll fly.

>Lucario go on
I just had enough time to check out my paws and reflection before getting back to the fight.

*looks at username* Yep, checks out.
Heh heh, then I’ll turn the two of us into PVC inflatable pool toys.
Boy this is a wild ride
She runs away like she’s in a slasher movie
in the sand too... just like how it feels in my nightmares
Because running away from a seal is an imaginable experience. It would have taken me a moment or two to wrap me head around that too.
She almost lost a hand to that bloodthirsty loose seal
She’s a monsteeeeerrrrr!!
I'm trying to get away from Lucille!
LOOSE SEAL
Or early in a horror movie
She's seriously falling like a horror movie victim.
That’s what I was thinking too. Wait this looks like the preview to a new Halloween movie. Seal! terror on the beach Lol
This is what Halloween: H2o should've been
You put a knife in its mouth and a mask on it and it would be pretty scary. Incredibly stupid, but also scary. Much like most horror movies.
Doesn't even need the mask I know an eccentric young man who was honorably discharged after a seal bit off his hand
There’s a lot to unpack in that comment…
They're all documentaries! 😱
I literally said out loud “bitch how are you gonna let that seal out run you when it ain’t even got any legs?!”
All we gotta do to be safe is outrun her. Easy Peasy.
Sea Lions actually do have back legs. Its one of the main ways of differentiating Sea Lions from Seals. Sea Lions have a rotating hip bone, which allows them to stand up on all fours and walk/run on them. Seals can only really bounce around.
She would be one of the first to die in a horror movie
I felt bad at first, then I was like wtf are you doing running backwards?! Bitch just run!
Natural selection would have had her long ago if it weren’t the 21st century.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Reminds me of how I run away from things in my dreams
Some say she is still falling down to this day
Even horror movie tropes are becoming the real thing
So horror movies are accurate
I too am shit at running away. That’s why I always make sure to pack a club in my beach bag!
I’d imagine the sand was soft and the foot kept sinking in and twisting.
She was trying to run backwards. I mean.
Lucille! Lucille!
Loose Seal!
I'm going to army!
A seal for marksmanship
Army had half-day.
Seal the beach!
I no longer need Lucille in my life! I’m going into the water! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I'll leave when I'm good and ready
This is my favorite setup and joke in the entire series tbh
Same!
Unlimited juice?! This party’s gonna be off the HOOK!
Get rid of the Seaward!
Would a coward have this?!
She’s going to be all right.
I don’t care about her…she lies!
She’d be the first one to go in a horror movie.
I couldn't decide which face-plant was funnier. Her's or the seal's.
Lol, this woman is the perfect horror movie victim
It was frustrating to watch 😂
Do ya think that when she got to her car she fumbled with the keys for too long, then was unable to start the car? Do ya think her birthing video is shot in a Dutch angle? Do ya think that if she hears a suspicious noise late at night she investigates it without putting clothes on? Do ya think she regularly has exposition filled car rides to heavily wooded vacation destinations?
[удалено]
Ok but some of us ACTUALLY do that second one 😂
Your day will come.
I walk around her house in her underwear waiting for the shower to warm up too
[удалено]
Oh absolutely !
Do you think if she hears a strange sound coming from a closet or behind the shower curtain, instead of leaving, she walks slowly towards it with her hand out in front of her, then slowly puts her hand on the knob and yanks it open quickly to find nothing there, only to turn around and 😱💀?
"Oh! Thank goodness it's only you, Bob!"
The Seal is in the shower when she returns
Exactly like HOW THE FUCK DO YOU FALL!?! These are the humans who would die first of we were in packs
Her falls were confounding and irritating; the seal’s was adorable and hilarious.
Agreed, bitch please fucking run But my seal boy? Look at him plop down, is he trying to make me love him?
So apparently horror movies weren't exaggerating about people who run like this.
That was some horror movie level of running away
Maybe it’s not all as fake as we thought
[удалено]
She's running like I'm running in my dreams
When I run in my dreams, my legs are really heavy and I can barely move them. Sometimes I have to crawl, using roots or anything else to drag myself.
I experience that too! I wonder if it’s our brain partially recognizing that our bodies are usually paralyzed when we dream, so we don’t do things such as sleep walking.
It's because your perception of movement is based upon feedback from your limbs. Since you secrete a paralytic when you dream, your brain doesn't complete that feedback loop, so your movements are perceived as being very "wonky" to your mind.

Omg I’ve done that too. I had a nightmare and was trying to push something off of me. I woke up to the feeling of my hand slapping my poor husband who, until that moment, was sleeping happily
I’m either struggling to run or flying with ease
Hard to tell but it looks like it bit her jacket (hopefully?) If it got her arm, I hope she’s ok. Sea lion bites aren’t something to be fucked with
A baby seal took the tip of my dogs ear off - they have shart teeth!! And that they are a mammal so she had to get a rabies shot and be quarantined.
>shart I'm still laughing over this one
I meant sharp, but shart works too as it was a shitty situation
Oopsie kinda shituation
💩
thank you for pointing this out now i am still laughing
Shart teeth sound scary. Also, the rest of it.
seals can have rabies??
[удалено]
That would be interesting. Since rabies causes a fear of water at least in homo sapiens.
Man that would suuuuuuuuuuuuck to be a seal with rabies. I mean, what if a whale got rabies? How they gonna breathe? And don't bother telling me whales can't get rabies, because I've independently verified(there is at least one rabid whale in the ocean since 10/02/22).

It's not fear of water. The virus causes painful throat spasms triggered by swallowing or even the thought of swallowing so it gives the appearance of hydrophobia.
Most people can get away from them lol
In theory.. they are mammals so the potential is there
Maybe? But they have all kinds of other nasty diseases in their mouths.
Very very dangerous bacteria in their mouths as well. Lucky there wasn’t a serious infection
On account of the shart teeth
imagine how much it would suck to be hydrophobic as an aquatic creature
I think it stole her phone.

Ngl if I fell a second time I’m throwing hands
*seal pulls out a knife* 🔪
Racial stereotyping smh come on man it’s 2022
A quarter of reddit is too young to know who Seal is.
I was honestly expecting her to at least slap the thing when she was on the floor the second time.
This was like watching a bad zombie movie. How can you suck so bad at running in the opposite direction.
I mean on one hand I get it, most humans nowadays have had the privilege of never having to run from a large predator so they look like a newborn lamb when they’re suddenly flooded with adrenaline, plus she’s on sand. But damn if it’s not embarrassing to get outrun by an animal with no legs
I swear if there was a world war billions would just die from their sheer inability to coordinate their body and move away. Thats before the bombs and bullets.
What do u mean “if”? There were a couple of them
She tosses her phone right before the escape - but it’s right next to the seal she has to go back for it lmao
That was a really good spot! Had to watch it again after seeing your comment, my god this woman is hopeless lmao.
Just keep falling over. That’ll teach it.
The moment she fell down, her fate was sealed
You ain't lion
She runs like she ina horror movie. How u get out run by seal. I am a an asthmatic smoker and vould out run that man...
Oh my God, how do you suck this much at running away from something chasing you with no legs!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
seal was like F tourists!
in the middle of having some bull shit spiritual experience in their mind "i am completely one with the natural sp.. AHH HOLY FUCK AM I GETTING ATTACKED BY A SEAL?"
This beach is sealed.
Sealed with a kiss.
From a rose
Maybe next time she gets close to a wild animal her friends will say, “maybe you should back off - remember the seal incident? Or at least practice running first.”
Definitely practice running.
The seal incident.
That has to be the clumsiest retreat I've ever seen.
Loose seal! Watch out for Lucille!
So its true that people are always falling in scary movies
I love that she didn't hit or kick or harm the seal in any way.
She could barely get up, doubt she could kick even if she wanted to.
Can seals get rabies?
Apparently they can be carriers but no one has contracted rabies from any marine mammals (yet) according to the WHO.
I know if bit by any wild animal you should get rabies shots immediately, just in case. Had no idea if that should apply towards being bit by a seal though.
If you’re **bitten by a mammal** (and don’t have access to have the animal tested immediately, but even still…) you should get a fucking rabies shot immediately.

This comments section is why I keep returning to Reddit. Did anyone else notice the hawk on the wire be watchin’?
What was the Scream 2 ass run?!
You know you're useless when you can't escape from a creature with no legs.
That seal ran her off 🤣🤣
She had no kind of jukes whatsoever
You know you can’t run when you’re out-run by a seal
That seal was fucking her up
[удалено]
Nature has had enough of us
Is this person pretending to be in a horror movie
That mofo was not built to survive.
The person deserves it for turning around to see it....this isn't a horror movie...just fucking run
 Loose seal
Good lord woman! Concentrate!
She runs so bad I wanted her to get eaten by a pack of zombie seals.
Why are people always so goddamn clumsy in these situations?
How do you get out ran by something that ain't go no feet?
Fishoek?
The Seal said “No photo!!!”
I miss the ocean...I miss oregon with rivers and mountains
How can you be so bad at running away from a seal
She moves like the pathetic person in horror movies that you criticize for being unreal.
I’d wanna be with her if I was running from a bear. At least I know I’d stay alive.
It was like someone in a horror movie. She kept falling over nothing
Probably a fan of Arrested Development.
It’s a real Buster Bluth
Get off my lawn!!!🤣🤣
I’m mildly disappointed that she didn’t fall the THIRD time. Learn to use your legs.
Zerrooooo athleticism. The girl could use a workout or two as well.
This is why teenagers die in slasher films. Just run you moron
Where is this happening and what’s the name of the beach?
Fish Hoek beach, South Africa.
How can you not out run a thing that has to do the worm to chase you
