throat, gullet, windpipe · mixed

The throat is about standing, broken trust and sometimes a pregnancy.

What happens in the dream

  • A graceful throat: a rise in position
  • A swollen or sore throat: a possible pregnancy
  • A sore throat: a friend will disappoint you, and the discovery will trouble you
  • Your throat is cut: someone will harm you
  • You cut someone's throat: you'll do yourself great harm

How you felt

  • Holding back: sometimes words you can't get out

Ask yourself

  • What can't I bring myself to say?
  • Has my trust in someone been shaken?
