Dreaming of a Neck

neck, nape · mixed

A neck mostly points to family tension, but also to love and fertility.

What happens in the dream

  • You see your own neck: irritating family matters will interfere with business
  • You admire someone's neck: your worldly-mindedness may strain your relationships
  • Your neck is thick: many children, or a temper to keep in check
  • Your neck looks smaller than usual: a loss in love or in the family
  • Your neck is fair and graceful: someone will court you

How you felt

  • Stiffness: the dream often reflects tension you carry without voicing it
  • Between head and heart: it may show a pull between reason and desire

Ask yourself

  • What is making me tense right now?
  • Do my head and heart agree?
