Throat
The passage for what needs to be said
What it often means
The throat in dreams is where expression lives or gets blocked. A constricted throat means something is struggling to be spoken. A clear, open throat suggests the voice is flowing freely. Often the dream is pointing to what needs to be said that hasn't been.
When it tends to appear
- When something is unsaid and asking to be expressed
- When self-censorship has been running for too long
- When fear of how words will land is keeping them inside
