Neck Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation from 26 unique sources about Neck

Vision: Looking at a swollen neck: good chances for a win and business success. Looking at a long, thin neck: misfortunes are spoiling your fun.

An injured neck or cut-off neck is a warning about dangers ahead. Wearing a shawl around the neck also is a warning—about possible throat, nose, and ear infections.

Depth Psychology: The neck stands for the connection between the head and the body (from the intellect to the material). Looking at a neck is often a warning: “Don’t risk your neck.” Sometimes it suggests taking care of all three—mind, body, and spirit. Do you sometimes feel “strangled” by others or by the demands of life? Are you “out of breath”? What is sticking in your throat? [1]

The neck is the center of the voice, and as such, any dream image that involves this part of the body is symbolically representing your current relationship with how you are expressing yourself in your life. Any sort of compromise to the neck indicates breakdowns in your communication and challenges in you having a strong connection with your voice. Anything that highlights, adorns, or otherwise calls attention to the neck is asking you to recognize the value of your convictions and to stand up for what you want to say. [2]
It represents the union between body and soul. Dreaming that you have neck pain can be a sign that, in reality, you are experiencing such a physical condition. Otherwise, a sore neck symbolizes a spiritual malaise for having a lifestyle or job that does not correspond with the true desires and inclinations of the dreamer.

The longer and healthier it is the greater the prosperity it augurs. Washing your neck promises good health. [3]

To dream of your own neck indicates a communication issue. You may be feeling vulnerable and possibly unable to communicate your true feelings.

To dream of an aching neck may be a sign that you need to find the courage to speak clearly and be heard.

To dream of another person’s neck may suggest that information may come from a completely unexpected place - possibly the ‘mouths of babes.’ [4]

To “protect one’s neck” is to not get caught at doing something in secret or to participate in a situation where one’s actions could be condemned. Often the phrase “don’t stick your neck out” is said as an admonishment. “Necking” describes romantic physical expressions of kissing, hugging, and overt passion arising aroused from the erogenous zones in the neck. [5]
Dreaming of the neck represents flexibility and the ability to see different sides of a situation with fairness and equality.

The neck is also a place of vulnerability, so if you stick your neck out, you are taking your chances and making a sacrifice.

If you dream of having neck problems or a stiff neck, then this represents stubbornness and rigidity.
