Choke Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation from 11 unique sources about Choke

1- When we find ourselves choking in a dream we are coming up against our inability to express ourselves appropriately. There is some conflict between our inner and outer selves, perhaps some indecision over whether we should speak out or remain silent.

2- We are being stifled by people or circumstances and are not in control of either.

3- Choking can indicate spiritual conflict and restraint. Choking in a dream therefore eventually has us learn when to speak and when to remain silent. [1]

Dreams of choking represent that there is something in your life that is hard to swallow.

The throat is your avenue of communication and manifestation, so choking means that there is something you are holding back or afraid to express and/or manifest. Your dream may be suggesting that you find a safe means of expression, either a venting letter that is never sent, or that you share what is stuck in your throat with a trusted friend, therapist, or life coach. [2]

If not a direct reflection of something happening to one’s body during sleep, a dream about choking can indicate indecision or conflict. Choking is also related to emotion, as when one is “choked up” from fear. Alternatively, to “choke off ” is to stop something. [3]
Psychological / emotional perspective: Being choked suggests that we are being stifled by people or circumstances and are not in control of either. Choking on food suggests that there is something unpalatable in our lives. [4]
Blockage of kundalini power in throat or fifth chakra, usually through lack of verbalization. To choke on food is inability to digest or accept certain experiences, ideas. [5]
Choking can indicate spiritual conflict and restraint. Choking in a dream highlights that we need to learn wisdom – when to speak and when to remain silent. [6]
The best general interpretation of a dream which involves choking is the old saying that “The things you worry about most never happen.
