My hand always stops short of hitting the person.  What does this mean?

You also have to remember that you shouldn't be able to move you arm while sleeping.  See, there's a smart part of your brain that knows your dreams are going to be a bit crazy, so it shuts off the motor control funtion that sends muscle commands when you're asleep.  (In people who sleepwalk, this part isn't working right).  \n\nThis can sometimes be realized while asleep, if you're dreaming and you think you're doing something, but your muscles aren't recognizing any movement.  Your brain thinks it should be feeling the movement of the arm, since in your dream, you're punching someone, but the command is never being sent in real life, so your image center producing these dream images takes some "free license" to make up what's happening in your dream, which is to make it seem as though your wimpy punches aren't landing.\n\nThe real question is, why are you dreaming about punching someone?  Frustrated about something?

It depends on the severity of the injury.  Have you been to a doctor who specialises in muscular problems?  There is also the possibility that you have damaged the ligaments in your hand and this is affecting the mobility of your hand.  The ligaments help to control the directions in which the bones are capable of moving, a change in the movement pattern of the bones in your hand could indicate that you have damaged the ligaments.  \nI would definately reccomend not doing pushups.  Being capable of doing pushups does not mean that you should be doing them if you feel pain.  This could be causing your body to heal a lot slower than it otherwise would.  Also if you have hurt it bad enough it could be an injury you carry for life.\n\nBut above all, go see a muscle specialist.  If the bone doctors are all saying the same thing but there is not an improvement in your condition then it is probably a good idea to seek a different kind of doctors opinion.

Well, aikido doesn't really use any strikes, so the chances of hurting your hands punching are very low.  However, they do alot of joint locks and takedowns, so the chance exists that you could do some damage to your hand.\n\nI would recommend talking to the sensei and be up-front and honest with him about your reservations.

Don't feel embarrassed, It has happened to me several times. I think your mind is still awake in a certain sense and you have trained your body that when you fall, to reach your arms out and catch you...so your brain reacts to that and does so.

he might have an adantage over you. He could have a longer forarm than you which dosent help you out at all. Pluse he might of beten you with the wrist bent down. Also the muscle that requires you to twist your arm's rotator cup might be stroger than yours since nobody notices it.

just tell him that it annoys you when he does it. if he doesn't stop then you've got to re-think some stuff. if he respects the whole you then he will respect your request to stop hiting you even if it's a way of flirting for him.

There are many many tiny nerve ending in your fingertips used to feel our way around whatever it is that we are touching.  We need tougher skin on our hands that we use to touch with because we are touching things all day long and we need more nerve endings there too because we use our hands to learn about the invironment around us.  Our arms, on the hand, (no pun intended) have much fewer nerve endings on them in any one given area because we don't go around feeling things, picking things up, and touching things with our arms.  So....  when you get poked in the finger with a needle, the needle is coming in contact a lot of little nerves sending signals to the brain that "hey man this hurts!!"..  but when you get pricked in the arm, there are not nearly as many signals being sent to the brain.. less nerve endings.  Sorry for the novel.  =) have a great day..  and stop pricking yourself with needles..  unless you're diabetic ofcourse.

Have someone slap you. Get a grip.

Choose a way so that you are in control of what's going on (he's not moving).  Believe it or not it's much easier to control if the girl is doing the work.  Then ask him to signal you with a tap or something when you should stop moving until he is OK again.  Keep doing this until you guys get it right.  If you mess up well it's all just fun so don't worry about it.  Just keep practicing.  Soon you'll learn what his queues are and he'll be able to tell further in advance when to tap you.  Eventually you won't have to totally stop, you can just change the movements so that you don't set him off.  Good luck.

Checked out your question to see if there was an explanation to what this is; no a karate do myself.  Got kicked on the end of the fingers 'again' today so might be in a better mood tommorow for discussions, look forward to reading your answers.

Physical violence does not equal friendship in my book.  This friend isn't a friend, but a bully.  You have another friend. Go hang out with her.  Obviously you know that what your supposed friend is doing is wrong because you are writing about it here.  Stand up for yourself against this girl: tell her to leave you alone, tell her to stop hitting you - and mean it! Tell an adult who can help you with this situation.  Friends don't hit/kick/bite/slap/spit or commit other forms of violence against friends.

Anytime you have a cervical herniated disc it is going to affect your arms and hands.  You may have a disc that is pinching on the one nerve to your pinky fingers.  I don't believe it is something different but you may want to ask your doctor about it.

It is a nervous condition.  Really. Happens to me sometimes too. I find it useful to get away from the source of aggravation.
