Ten Thousand Dream Dictionary

by Pamela Ball
1- Swallowing in a dream suggests we are taking something in. This could be knowledge or information.

Dreaming of swallowing one’s pride signifies the necessity for humility, whilst something being hard to swallow shows that we have a need to overcome an obstacle.

2- When we arc holding back on emotion, we physically need to swallow. Swallowing therefore becomes an act of suppression which can be harmful.

3- The dreamer may be taking in more spirituality than he can comfortably process. It would be advisable to slow down and ‘digest’ his spiritual teachings more methodically.

My Dream Interpretation

by myjellybean
To dream that you swallow something, or that you have trouble swallowing, indicates that you are holding back your feelings or words. You may feel unable to express your anger, or to say what you really think. Alternatively, your dream may be telling you that you need to swallow your pride.
