Neck / Throat Dream Meaning

When dreaming about a sore or painful throat, make sure that you are not being bothered by a real health issue, like a cold. Other than that, people you deal with, or annoying situations, may give you a “pain in the neck.”

As the neck is the connection between your body and your head, you are either too intellectually engaged or not engaged enough.

The throat is the place where “words get stuck.”

A sexual connotation may also be indicated, when people are “necking.” Or the idea of a close finish—as in a horse race: neck in neck. [1]
