My reoccuring dream began when I was a young child. These giant boulders are rolling and everthing else seems so much larger than life. It's all closing in on me but I never get rolled over by one of these huge boulders. Just a feeling of intensity!
How interesting. The boulders never seem to crush you, which illustrates that you are quite resilient.
Life is stressful, and it's amazing how our dreams manifest the intensity of our daily life. It sounds like your subconscious finds ways to protect you from danger.
