I have had this same dream many times in the last twenty years. I am running a race really well but then my legs shut down and become useless, not painful or anything. So, I'm dragging myself along the pavement by my hands trying to get to the finish.
More recently I had this dream which is maybe related. I'm running the best marathon I've ever done. It looks like I'm going to run a big personal record. Then my watch stops working and the finish line clock malfunctions, too. I never know whether I got the personal record. Sometimes the dream goes that they screw up the course and I run way past the finish line and don't know when to stop.
Please interpret.
1) You're trying to accomplish things in your life that tend to falter at which point you turn towards relationships to help you make it through the situations.
2) Your feel your efforts are being thwarted because you lose the ability to gauge whether you've accomplished the goals or not right before you complete the task. Once you lose persepctive of the task at hand you can't tell when to stop and end up taking things too far. At times you lose sense of the timing of things while in other instances circumstances change that make clearcut judgements impossible.
