Crawling
To dream of a crawling represents goals that are challenging your ability to complete them. Being forced to take your time or be careful about every single detail of a problem. It may also reflect a situation that is subjecting you to agonizing amounts of patience or "red tape."
Alternatively, crawling represents feelings of lowering yourself, subordination, or not being able to perform at your best.
Example: A man dreamed of crawling along a dirty floor in an attempt to escape to freedom. In waking life he had a terminal illness that was close to death. The crawling reflected his struggle to get through the final moments of his life.
