What Does It Mean to Dream About Choking?

Choking in a dream represents a severe block in your communication or a situation that is overwhelmingly restrictive.

If you are choking on food, you may be having trouble “swallowing” a difficult truth or accepting a situation. If someone is choking you, it points to an external force or person preventing you from speaking your truth.

Questions to Ask Yourself

  • What were you choking on?
  • Are you holding back important words or opinions?
