Some people dream about being unable to walk. Some dream about falling. Others have dreams about wheelchairs. There are a number of different explanations for why this is, but one thing is certain: dreams can be very strange.
Why Wheelchairs?
There are several theories regarding how and why the wheelchair appears in dreams. One theory is that the wheelchair symbolizes our conscious fears of becoming disabled, sick or dying, but there are other explanations as well.
In many cases, dreams about wheelchairs may simply be a way for our subconscious minds to warn us about potential dangers or problems in our lives.
For example, if you dreamed that you were in a wheelchair and you couldn’t move forward, that may be a sign that something important isn’t working properly in your life. You need to find what this is and you need to try to fix it.
On the other hand, if you dreamed that you fell from a wheelchair, then this might be a sign that you don’t have control over some part of your life (maybe you are unable to control your emotions?).
Dreaming of a wheelchair (General meaning)
The symbolism of a wheelchair in a dream can be interpreted in many different ways. The main thing to remember is that it usually represents your own limitations.
If you dream of someone pushing you while you are in a wheelchair, then it may be that you are feeling like somebody has taken away some of your freedom and control over your life.
If you have never been in a wheelchair before, a dream about being in one may suggest that you’re feeling overwhelmed by something in your life or that you feel helpless in some way.
If you already use a wheelchair, the dream could mean that you’re feeling frustrated about something related to your disability or that you’re worried about something else happening to you.
A wheelchair in a dream may also indicate that you have been restricted in some way and need to find a way to move forward with your life. Perhaps some kind of physical or emotional trauma has left you unable to move forward with things like love, work or other important aspects of life.

You want to feel like you are in control of your life, but sometimes you are struggling and having problems because you feel like your efforts are not working out as planned.

In general, dreaming about someone in a wheelchair can be interpreted as a sign that you’re feeling powerless. You may be struggling with something in your life and feel helpless to make any changes. Perhaps you’re dealing with an illness or injury, or you feel trapped by your circumstances.
Maybe you want to move but don’t know how. Maybe there’s something holding you back from pursuing your goals and dreams.
The interpretation of this dream also depends on who the person in the wheelchair is. The meaning behind the dream depends on do you know this person or not, and if you do- is it someone close to you like for example, your partner or one of your parents?
