I wonder if this is because you’re actually trying to move your hands, but can’t, because you’re asleep. I can always remember being unable to run in a dream, it was extremely slow. One night I noticed my sister moving her legs in her sleep, as though she were trying to run, but very slowly (and clumsily, because she was in the bed). It occurred to me that this is what actually happens when one dreams about running too slowly.
