Anything that involves dexterity or hand movements generally don't show up in dreams. Thats why fighting in your dreams feels like a numb slap fight.

I experience that when i have generally high anxiety

Fighting in my dreams is usually more like Mortal Kombat with an endlessly refilling health meter. Brutal attacks that do nothing.

I haven't tried to fight any of my dreams yet. So this is an interesting revelation.
