Paralysis
Paralysis — frozen, unable to move or act — often touches financial reverses, disappointment, and a cessation of affection for lovers. The dream may ask where you feel utterly stuck, drained of the power to act, and whether the seizing-up reflects a real loss of momentum in your fortunes or your heart that needs facing.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for paralysis, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
Paralysis is a bad dream, denoting financial reverses and disappointment in literary attainment. To lovers, it portends a cessation of affections.
