Crawling
Moving on hands and knees — progress made by lowering yourself when the upright path no longer works.
Crawling in a dream is the dream's image of progress made by lowering yourself to the ground. The crawl is slower than walking, but it is also more stable, and it is available where standing is not. The dream brings the action when an upright way of moving through your life — the ordinary pace, the upright pride — has stopped working and the honest move is downward. A crawl that is reaching shelter is the dream telling you the chosen humility is correct. A crawl that has become permanent, with no attempt to stand, is the dream noting that the low position has stopped being a tactic and become a settled posture.
