Strangest Dream Explanations
📖
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.
