Jon,
Two possibilities to the dream that may be relevant. The back flips may suggest you are 'going backwards' in some aspect of your waking life. You keep falling off track, coming up short. There is a lack of good rotation to this desire to go 'forwards'. This may suggest there is something that is holding you back.

Because these 'back flips' are performed on your bed may suggest 'unconscious' aspects. From the MDS Dream Dictionary:

Bed - A bridge between your conscious and unconscious self. May symbolize a need to investigate, or acknowledge those aspects that have not be previously attended to.

The back flips may represent not only a lack of forward progress but also an unconscious reason for a lack of progress. That could be associated to emotional aspects. 'Looking back' at your life are there reasons that may be at least partially responsible for this lack of progress? Coming from a home where there was a lack of good parental love and acceptance, or coming from a home where there were a lack of the necessities such as poverty? Or physical or psychological abuse. Something may be holding you back. What could that be?

I actually thought of something similar. I am over and under compensating in my flips which led me to think maybe I am putting to much time and effort in one part of my life while not putting enough effort into another.

Also the lack of progress part also seems to be able to fit in life pretty well. I have to think about this.

Man, you're good! THank you for your reply!
