To dream of being strangled – what does it mean? (Dream interpretation suffocation / strangulation)
Dream interpretation strangulation/suffocation
Suffocation in dreams is not a rare thing to dream about. There are several angles to it; these are reviewed below.
Dreams about suffocation can mean that you are simply too busy. Similar to dreams about drowning, dreams about suffocating can symbolize that your current (hectic) life style will quite simply be the death of you.
If you find this interpretation relevant to your situation, it is critical that you take your dream seriously – you simply cannot keep up anymore, and your brain and body needs you to slow down.
Dreams about being strangled as an image of something within yourself that is ”strangling” you/hinders you from thriving and developing. This interpretation is the most common – you can even dream that you are strangling yourself!
…a very clear indication that you in a some way – in what you say, think or do – limit yourself in a way that is “killing you” (that is to say mentally, because you lack vitality).
A 30-year-old woman for instance repeatedly dreamt that a very old woman was going to strangle her. At this point in her life, she was single and often stayed at home and isolated herself, and because of previous experiences, she did everything she could to avoid contact with men, who were actually interested in her.
It was clear from the dream that she, way too early in her life, had habits more suited for an old woman. In the same way, there may be things within you that are quite simply “strangling you” and which therefore prevent you from realizing your true potential; things you may be unaware of.
In addition to this, it may also be the case that your current life situation, how you see yourself, your social circle, or your job, is “killing you”. There are numerous things – within yourself and in your surroundings – that can “strangle” you and prevent you from unfolding and developing.
Finally, there are also cases which suggest that a dream about being strangled simply can occur because you are having difficulties breathing during your sleep – perhaps you have been uncomfortable, or you may have a physical disability that makes it difficult for you to breathe.

I dreamt about being strangled by am unknown person and then being asked about my father . what does this mean ?
Hi Diamond,
of course it is quite hard for me to have a qualified guess, since I don’t know you and your specific situation. It could be that in your thoughts/thinking, you are somehow putting a great pressure on yourself – maybe a pressure involving your father in some way. Maybe you feel (or somehting in you feel) that you ought to really evaluate your relationship with your father, take it up somehow. It is of course crucial how you see your current relationship with your father, I am sure that the dream is a comment on this. Do you like your father /don’t like him? Are you talking to him now and then (I can’t tell whether you still live at home). My guess would be that you put yourself under some kind of unconscious pressure related to / involving your father somehow. Best regards – Michael
Hi I’m Jolene and I’m 13 years old. Last night I had a long complicated dream (I’ll save you time) but basically I went to the bathroom to do my makeup and I kept hearing creaking from the shower. The curtain was over the shower of course. So I pushed my hang against the curtain to see if someone was there and all of a sudden a strange man that I couldn’t see strays strangling me. ( I was wear a black ‘i don’t care at all’ sweatshirt) he took the strings of the sweatshirt and wrapped them around my neck when I tried to scream someone’s in the bathroom. I could see myself in the mirror being strangled and as the pain started I saw everything slowly fading away and I woke up. What does this mean?

Last night I had a dream about me being with my grandma she was laying in bed like if she was gone (she past away 2 months ago) and I looked at my uncle (my moms brother) he was there and I was like what happened to my grandma and he was like she just passed away etc… he was faking it that I know he did something I saw something so weird that made me know that he raped her ( sounds bad and gross at the same time I’m saying this) so I got super mad started yelling at him etc… I enclosed my self in the restroom in my dream I couldn’t close the restroom door it was hard for me to close it so he will reach for the door to open it and he will grab me !! I did it several times and that’s when he finally got me he choked me and for some reason I was kinda playing dead so he can go out of the room to escape but he knew I wasn’t dead and I woke up and asked me why did he try choking me and I started yelling at him so I was fighting him he had a knife he did try killing me (then my grandma woke up I thought she was dead and she tried getting up but she couldn’t.) but then some how I got the knife I hold him with the knife on his neck to call the police or my parents but that’s when I woke up so my own uncle tried choking me and I thought he killed my grandma why those two people in my dreams? Why my uncle and my grandma? My grandma passed away two months ago I had something happened with my uncle that I can’t say it’s personal! He tried choking me to not say anything about what happened in the room I think! Idk it was a strange, sad dream, very challenging to fight him.but atleast I got to see my grandma
Michael please help me I keep dreaming that my ex husband is choking me and that my current husband leaves me and will not help me and when I am not dreaming about that I dream about one of my children getting killed or hurt

I regularly dream that I see an old woman (always a different woman that looks nothing like the last) and I am not afraid and then out of nowhere she starts to violently strangle me and tell me I’m going to die. Usually she is staring me in my face choking me but last night I was looking in a mirror and she wasn’t behind me when I turned around but when I looked back into the mirror she was choking me from behind while we were both looking in the mirror.

Messaged this to my boyfriend the moment I woke as an attempt of reassuring me that this wasn’t true, even though it felt incredibly real, being in my house where I had been dreaming, along with only me and my brother being in the house for the next few weeks could have explained some of this : checking it wasn’t: Had the most horrific dream – your house got robbed after you had these caterers in, and before one of them left I got hold of one of them and was like ‘yeah you leave cunt’ as I didn’t trust him when he left yours prior to the robbery, turns out it wasn’t him, and then me and you had a huge argument as you weren’t taking any of it seriously as I was the one who got to yours and found it had be robbed so I was so frighten, that I went to mine, and the same thing happened but way more psycho, they had painted ontop of this painting, that I didn’t notice so I was going round each room scared as hell, with a bat with mum as no one believed me, and then we were like fine no ones here with dad and everyone in the lounge, and then we heard footsteps so dad went up, and then next thing I know I turn around after mum says I swear that bald man wasn’t in the portrait of people that we have, and so I look at it closer thinking its familiar when actually I’m able to scratch it off, and it’s of this huge bald man, sat down, still damp from where someone’s painted on top of the framed glass, so I scream and look behind the sofa with Kieran and there he is, well weird I start smashing the place up with him in before he reaches his full height with Kieran crying, and then mum and dad finally get there and we tear him up like cut all his skin which is like latex so weird, anyway we all think it’s over, and then Johanna and ruby are over for some reason, an I still ain’t at ease, anyone long story short we are being tormented by noises in the house, I think it was me and mum but we brutally caught someone in the bathroom and wripled out their battery from their chest and drowned it and burn them to death, so me Johanna and Ruby go into this other bathroom… Me and Johanna at the back of the room.. And then Ruby shuts the door.. Which really confused me.. And then makes me anxious that it was her all along, and then I see Johanna face me… Confirming that they both planned the trap, and that’s when I force myself awake, where I just about manage to get out of the paralysed awakeness. I woke with both Ruby and Johanna, and I’m really fond of Johanna which is strange what was reflected in the dream. Haven’t had a nightmare for what feels like years, so all I wanted to do was run up to my brothers room, so strange. And I’m frightened that it might just be.. So dark, and there were points where I couldn’t properly scream as whoever would be chocking me, so I couldn’t be left alone as I kept doing it to myself, I would scream ‘he is here’ killing me from behind but it was me.. So weird mate so not okay, was so brutal.

I dreamed that i was walking around feeling like something was wrapped around my neck. So in the dream i was ripping of my necklaces and pulling at my shirt thinking it would relieve tbis sensation but it didn’t…then all of a sudden i was puking up some very bright yellowish stuff…weird right..lol
Hi Ebone,

I had a dream about my mother walking in my room and strangling me I woke up because I couldn’t breath strange thing is I woke up exactly at 3 am.. what does this mean???
I dreamt last night that one of my best friends was strangling me. In my dream while this was happening I asked him “why?!”.. he replied “I’m trying to help you!”
I keep having the same dream over and over.
It’s very vivid.
Leaving the name out of the Psychiatrist, it’s a repetitive dream where he his facing me, looking at me in my eyes, both his hands are around my neck choking me, in my dream he is trying to choke me to death. In my dream he kills me. I can’t move, I’m dead but I’m not [It’s hard to explain.], I than see Dr. ___ talking to the police, I hear the police officer say to Dr. ___ How do you want us to report this?
I can’t move, the next thing in my dream, the police are burying me alive, I’m dead in my dream and I can’t move, but at the same time I know I’m still alive.
I’ve been having this dream over and over for seven years now. Why?
I had a dream last night that I was being strangled by my x partner. This is someone who I still feel very much bonded to. It was an unhealthy relationship. The other more prominent thing on my mind is that I am involved in a legal case. This has been causing me stress and as it is getting closer to the day I started dreaming about the case alongside being strangled. I often have multiple different dreams in one evening. It’s hard to know what the dream really meant. And when I read things that say I feel stifled, it does make sense but I almost felt the dream was telling me something more. I am still very attracted to my x and we have not spoken in a long time. I don’t know if I was just remembering him and keeping him close to me or if I was surrendering to something. Or i I was meant to remember him for the future.
Hi Kit,
you did share a bit of what’s happening in your waking life, but still it is hard for me to know exactly what the dream might mean. It might also simply mean that the fact that you are still very bonded to him really hinders you in moving on. The dream might say – you need to untangle yourself from him to live again.

I keep dreaming about my abusive ex boyfriend nearly choking me until I wake up gasping for air in a panic. He had never choked me though. He is now incarcerated…. What does it mean?

My dreams are vivid, My current situation I’m married. However my dream is of myself removed from the home in a small 1brm flat. My husband for some strange reason is there helping with the move we end up in bed making love, it’s then that I vividly see him strangling me.. unable to breathe my last breaths he leaves. Weird or what?

Hi I’m raynee me and my friends we’re hanging out then we just get attacked I get choke holded and then they dragged me away saying don’t worry about your friends what does that mean??
I dreamt I was being strangled by my best friend’s friend. I even woke up clutching at my throat and saying “No Sally no!” It was very vivid and frightening.
Sally has always been jealous of iur friendship.
Hi Sonia,
thanks for sharing your dream! Well it seems to me, that you’ve got a really good idea of what the dream is an illustration of. Potentially it could also be an illustration of how your own (potentially many) thoughts of how it must be difficult for Sally, is also making it even more difficult for you to enjoy the friendship. You could also “turn the dream upside down” and ask whether you are jealous of the friendship between Sally and your best friend? The dream then showing how that jealousy is causing you worries/problems. Only you would know which – if any of those interpretations – is correct. Best regards – Michael.
I recently had a dream which ive been unable to forget, it starts with me in bed awakeing to tugging on my leg all the blankets have been pulled off me and im in my bedroom from when I was 12 years old everything is the exact same im even around that age again. Im just lying there twitching profusely, the whole room is covered in large moving shadows I keep trying to shut my eyes so they disappear but nothing happens I start to feel really scared and get up to go to my mothers bedroom I walk to the door way and just stand there I can almost see the figure of something moving I just sit there watching and all of a sudden something has it’s hands tightly around my throat and is pushing me backwards so fast im trying to scream the whole time but can’t, then I wake up. Its crazy because it felt so real I could feel the hands around my throat they were burning hot and could still feel it when I woke up. I never remember my dreams this one was so vivid and has really been on my mind lately. I just want to know if everythings okay I almost don’t feel like myself after that ive had a depressing mood and it feels like theres a grey cloud that follows me every where that I go now.
Hi B,
thank you for your comment and your dream.
First of all – since identical parts of our brain are active while dreaming and being awake (in terms of “seeing” and sensing) – then dreams are “real” – the feelings that they evoke in us, the physical sensations – they are real. So I am not surprised that your dream seems so real to you!
In terms of what the dream might mean – it is no doubt a central thing, that you are 12 years old in the dream. I would encourage to look into your memories of what happened when you were around 12 years old. It seems that something has frightened you, or at least cause you to feel anxiety. This anxiety is now coming back, potentially provoked by something that is happening in your current/waking life. Since I do not know you and the specifics of your situation, I cannot come much closer to what your dream might mean. Best regards

I have been having recurrent dreams of being strangled from behind in the dark by an unknown person or presence who seems male, and I wake up terrified.
In one of these dreams, I went to bed in a dark room. The bed was against a wall. As I lay down to sleep with my back to the wall, I realised to my horror that between me and the wall was a person or presence who suddenly wrapped themselves around me with one hand round my throat. I could not see them but they were so strong that I was powerless and I felt weak and drugged. I called out to my partner “MICHAEL HELP ME!” but my voice was a whisper and he couldn’t hear me. There was a tremendous sense of evil and I felt as if I had no ability to fight and was just sinking into my own death. Then I woke up terrified.
Another dream was that I was walking down a dark staircase in twilight. I saw an open door off the staircase into a busy supermarket. I saw a girl in there who hates me and she gave me a very strange hostile look. Then I felt these large warm male hands close around my neck from behind, very strong hands. I could not see the person because it was so dark. Again I felt drugged and weak and sank to the ground. The person behind me also sank down but keeping his hands around my neck, and his grip was getting tighter. I whispered “I can’t breathe” but his grip carried on getting tighter. Then I woke up, again terrified.
Hi Ali,
Thank you for your very interesting and obviously terrifying dream! A central thing to me is whether or not you know the person/”thing” that is trying to strangle you? If not – and that seems to be the case – you should most likely see the dream as somehow saying that you have some within yourself (i.a. a “side” of you, your thoughts, a shadow-figure) of which you are not aware, and that side of yourself is currently trying to “kill” you. Is it maybe some very negative thoughts about yourself? Some destructive thoughts about you and what you do? From what you describe about a girl not liking you – do you often feel like that; that people don’t like you? Maybe these a just thoughts in your own mind – and not what people around you actually think. The dream again could thus be saying that you have a very destructive element “inside” yourself. Best regards Michael
I am in my third trimester of pregnancy. I keep having vivid dreams that my husband is trying to strangle me by wrapping his arms around my neck in a choke hold.
Hi Kala,
first of all – congratulations on your pregnancy!
With regard to your dream – you can see it from two sides; the outer interpretation where you should see your husband in the dream as an illustration of how he right now in reality is trying to “strangle” you. He might have demeaning but indirect comments about what is about to happen (the two of you becoming parents, maybe for the first time?). Or maybe you are just very anxious about how he will react to you becoming a mother (again?). OR – you could see your husband in the dream as an illustration of something you have inside yourself (your mind, your thinking), the so called inner interpretation. I.e. something that you, and only you (not your husband) might be thinking or doing that potentially relates to the coming new period of your life, something (thoughts, actions?) that is highly destructive. Maybe you yourself are afraid of what’s going to happen when you give birth? Maybe you are afraid to “die” – i.e. loose the freedom you now have. When we ourselves die in dreams it is often an illustration of how the way we until now have perceived ourselves is no longer valid, or how others is trying to change the way we are. Best regards Michael
This is the first time I’ve experienced anything like this. In my dream I was sitting in a car at night listening to some music I don’t know if I was waiting on someone or not but I was listening to some music I seen the car next to me and people was getting in it I decided to roll my window up and when I did moments later something reach around and grab for my neck and that’s when I immediately woke up because I felt it grabbing my neck I looked around to see if anybody was around but no one was there it hade me really shook up.
Hi Gregory,
thank you for your comment and your very interesting dream! Now – I don’t know you or your specific life situation, but based on the content of the dream it could maybe be an illustration of how right now in your life you are closing down opportunities, keeping people or oppurtunities away from you (you rolled up the windows instead of showing an interest/trying to connect with those other people). As you do that, you slowly “die” (your potential death in the dream is then seen as a mental (developmental) death, rather than a physical death. You should see the figure trying to strangle you as an illustration of something you have within yourself (destructive thoughts, behaviour). Hopefully some of this makes sense to you! Michael
I had a dream/nightmare that my son who is 24 came into my room, and stood at the door and we were talking about angels, then he said there are bad angels as well. And I said I know . Then a few minutes later he was holding my head down, suffocating me, I couldn’t move, and I was screaming for help but my voice was horse, and I wasn’t screaming loud enough for my other two son’s to save me . Then I woke up, it was scary. What is the meaning of this.

I had a recurring dream as a child (approx from 5-12 yrs old) that continues to haunt me. I am baking donuts with my mother (can’t actually see her…just know she is there). An old bony brown decrepit hand comes out of a hole in the back of the oven to strangle me. It is horrible looking….like a horror movie. I try to run and scream and scream (sometimes woke up screaming) but couldnt get away, and I could actually feel it around my neck. My mother doesn’t help me. I would wake up terrified.
Hi Gaby, and thank you for your very interesting but frightening dream! Since you’ve had it all the way back to being 5 years old, I would think the dream illustrates a real feeling or experience you had back then. What does that hand (the person owning it) represent? Someone/something (surroundings? Someone?) putting a lot of pressure on you. Maybe back then of making just at good cakes as your mum /longing for your mothers love, or just in general trying to be a good girl. Constantly fighting hard to be a good girl is going to “kill” you. Your mum doesn’t help you in the dream – maybe because she was the one putting the pressure on you, and in real life hasn’t been able to help you with the (maybe) enormeous pressure you put on yourself? It is hard for me to guess, since I don’t know you and your life situation in detail. But if I am just a little bit right in the above interpretation, now is the time to start living YOUR life, and stop trying to live up to the expectations of other. On a last note – the hand might also symbolize generally unpleasant feelings, or the atmosphere present in your childhood home. If you have the dream in your adult life, maybe what you see/experience currently in your life resemble that atmosphere. An atmosphere that threathens to kill you. Best Regards Michael Rohde Olsen
Hi Michael, Thank you for your response! It really helps clarify things for me! I am actually 55 now and still deal with childhood issues. My mother was not a nurturing type and spent most days yelling and sometimes hitting, although through it all I still think she loved me, but it took a long time to understand that. Only recently I found out she did not raise me during my first year or two and a counselor diagnosed me with childhood PTSD. I have dealt with depression as far back as my first memories. When I was 17 I also found out my father was not biological, so I had been lied to all my life. I should mention we moved from Germany to USA when I was 2, and my mother left her entire family behind. At any rate I have often wondered if I have a horrible repressed memory hiding inside me, but think I dont really want to find out. Other recurring nightmares were monkeys coming up out of the registers to strangle me and a huge giraffe that lived in my house and it’s neck was so long it could grab me anywhere I was, even outside! Enough said, but I think you can see how right on you were! Thank you!
Hi Gaby,
thank you for replying – and you’re welcome! It always makes the whole thing worthwhile when I hear whether my interpretation was way off or not 🙂 And it surely sounds to me as if you have things to deal with, but it also sounds to me as if you are dealing with them, at least by showing an interest in / reacting on your dreams. Our dreams help us to become much more aware of what is truly going on inside us (and btw. I do understand why you don’t want to really confront/face the childhood memories). You still have many years left to live in, so if this continues to haunt to (in your dreams and in waking life), it could maybe make sense to start taking a closer look at it. Just FYI – this website will be heavily upgraded on Monday/Tuesday, where I will start intensifying my efforts and offerings in English (this is my Danish website http://www.michaelrohde.dk, where you can see the new design) . Best regards – Michael
Last night i dreamed that i was strangeled by my mom (who i love very dearly but am currently a bit mad at) and i have read interpretations that say you should normally beat down the “bad guy” in the dream and that the dream will have a happy ending, but mine did not. I just woke up, i guess, in the place where i would normally have choked to death. What does this all mean? Why my mom?
Hi Patti,
and thank you for your dream! Well – it is hard for me to know exactly what is going on in your life/what the dream then tries to illustrate. But it sounds to me as if the dicussions you are currenlty having with your mum is a result of a (potentially) long-standing tense relationship, and maybe now you are – at least in your unconscious – starting to realize that your mum is maybe not always that fantastic (which is the case for most people – parents are people, and people have faults!). The thing about beating down the bad guy – well, it depends on whether you are conscious while dreaming (lucid dreaming) – if not, there is not much you can do. But beating down the bad guy… well yes, in your case I guess it would mean to really start analyzing the relationship between you and your mum – why would you dream that she is trying to strangle you? Can you in any think of how -maybe just sometimes – she has said or done something that would be hindering you in your full development – maybe hinder you in being who you are? I don’t know how old you are, so it is hard to understand the overall situation you are in – but I hope some of this makes sense to you! Michael
I dreamt my boyfriend ex strangling me so hard
Hi Sindi,
that was a frightening dream indeed! I do not know you or your life situation, so it is hard for me to guess exactly what the dream is about. Maybe what you experienced and “learned” (true or untrue!) in the relationship with your ex is now hindering you in a current relationship. It could be something related to how you think about yourself, or how you think about men in general. Which then might me untrue!! Have a great weekend – Michael
Last night I slept with the outside door to my room open .and I dream that I was in bed next to my 10 year old son and i was being strangle by an unknown person with a lot of force I was trying to get him off but I couldn’t so I play dead and he got off and left . What does this mean?
Hi Carlo, thank you for your very interesting dream! Now since I do not know you and your specific life situation it is almost impossible for me to know what this might be about. What you need to consider is what this unknown person symbolizes – either something inside your self (i.e. that person resembles a side of you), or something/someone outside you – i.e. in the real world. Almost guaranteed it is not that someone in real life wants to strangle you – rather – as said – something inside your, or in the real world – is trying to “kill” you mentally. One angle could be, that in order to have a closer relationship with your son – you need to develop dramatically (our own death in dreams often symbolizes a needed change – how we need to change the way we look at the world and ourselves). Or maybe something/someone is threatening your close (?) relationship with your son. Again that something might be your own thinking/behaviour, and therefore have nothing to do with anyone else.
Best regards – Michael Olsen
I had a dream last night to what it felt like someone straggling me , as I what I believed opened my eyes it looked like a faint image sitting on top of me , quick flashes it seemed to look like my 10 year old son , I can hear myself telling him to get of me because he was hurting me , at that point I got up out of my bed , my wrist was throbbing and my neck was hurting (like I had a sore throat feeling) … Really upset me and I find very disturbing
Hi Char – thank your for what must have been a highly upsetting dream! Since I don’t know you, your specific life situation, or what characterizes the relationship you have with your son, it is hard for me to know what this dream is about. You might consider how you are maybe too preoccupied with your son, and how that preoccupation is then hindering your own personal development. In your eager to be a “perfect mum” you might be forgetting yourself. And in my view that is not being a “perfect mother” (which btw doesn’t exist). But it could also be other things – maybe your son is overwhelming you at the moment / being hard to handle? Best regards – Michael Olsen
What does it mean when you dream of being choked in your dream. But someone helps to you to breath again. Waking up in an unknown place only to see the protector sleep. While going in the next room you see your daughter and mate under the covers but once they see its you the dream ends. Need answers please
Hi Kadjia,
and thank you for your dream! Since I do not know you or your specific life situation, it is hard for me to know what this dream might symbolize. You might consider what – inside your self (thoughts, feelings) might me “strangling you” (e.g. hindering your own personal development), and you should be thankful for that protector. It seems again that this protector is a side of yourself that prevents you from being “strangled”. You might also take a look at how you really feel about your daughter and the relationship she has with her boyfriend/mate – the dream might be a comment to this. Best regards – Michael Olsen
Hi Michael
I had a strangling dream last night that i couldnt wake up from but eventually forced myself awake. I dreamt i was on holiday with my family and a few of my friends. My ex was playing outside with the children so I wanted to join. As i reached the outside he was already in another quarter of the vacation grounds. So i followed him hoping to catch up, but as soon as i went around the corner two men jumped in front of me and pinned me to a small fence. One had his hand around my neck and bent me backwards over the fence. The other one came around to hold me down so i couldnt move. Just before i passed out one of my friends saw what happened and fought them of. I passed out and when i woke my friend was carrying me to a room where all my friends where gathered. I saw my ex there and ran to him immediately with the little strength i had left and passed out again in his arms. I woke up in the dream freaking out from the horrible dream i just experienced in my dream. My mother called someone over who tried calming me down. I remember hearing my mom say something about, its been years since the rape so why is she only getting nightmares about it now. Thats when i forced myself to actually wake up from this rigid dream.
Hi Christine,
sorry for my late response – I have many visitors, and thus get many enquiries. When reading your dream I was – in my thinking – moving along one particular line of thought. A track of how maybe in real life (constantly?) thinking about your ex limiting you in your personal development, and more specifically maybe, hindering you in finding love again. It was in the process of chasing your ex that suddenly two men were trying to strangle you. I.e. – the thinking would be that these two men trying to strangle you symbolizes how you a slowly “dying” (at least mentally) by following/thinking of your ex. But then I got to the last sentence with your mothers comment on “the rape” – and I of course need to understand whether you have actually been raped, or whether this is still in the dream? If not, then the rape in the dream might symbolize how the relationship you had with your ex was somehow destructive? Does any of this make sense? Best regards – Michael Olsen
My names Alyshia, lately I’ve had a lot of weird dreams but I’ve felt mentally I’m going threw a lot.
The other night I had a dream about spiders on a island and I tried getting off but I can’t bring myself to ever walk threw a web . Then I woke up.
Just not to long ago was taking a nap and had the craziest dream I was wearing a bikini and somehow the straps were wrapped around my neck and as I’m trying to speak ( which I barely can) saying as in saying cut it off me I can’t breath I fall to the ground and seen a friend run with scissors. Then I woke up. I’ve been having some crazy unusual dreams.
Hi Alyshia,
sorry for my late response, but I have many visitors on my website, and thus get many enquiries. Now, since I do not know you or your specific life situation, it is hard for me to know what this dream really is about. Did you read the blog post on dreams of spiders? This might give you a hint about that dream. Often spider dreams are about the role of (your?) the mother – either your real mother, or what is called the archetypical mother – i.e. the elements inside you resembling that of mother-related traits. The other dream (bikini and being strangled) – again, I do not know you or your situation. Has someone in real life tried to limit you in your personal development, or limit you in being you? I am not sure I understand it correctly in terms of the friend running with scissors – has he/she saved your life in that situation? Again – you can approach the dream from an internal perspective; then you need to see what that friend resembles inside yourself, or from an outer perspective – what is your relation with that person in real life, and can he/she somehow have helped you in your current (i.e. when you had the dream) situation? Best regards – Michael
Hi
My husband passed away on the 5th of August this year of Malaria. He was a very good husband to me. Two nights ago I dreamt that he wants to strangle me.
I was so scared and cried.
Hi Ruth,
this must have been a highly frightening dream! Since I do not know your specific life situation and the relationship you had with your husband, it is hard for me to know exactly what this dream might mean. One interpretation could be the following: you are right now way to preoccupied with grief and sorrow over the death of your husband, and all these thoughts are slowly “killing you”. The dream then says, do what you can to accept what happened, understand that he is now truly gone, and put frankly; move on with your life (knowing it is not that easy). Another interpretation might be about how your husband – when he was awake, was somehow preventing you from being you. And how his “ghost” is then still inside you right now – preventing you from living your own life. Does any of this make sense? Best regards – Michael
I was on holiday in Greece. staying in my own apartment where I have stayed numerous times a year for the past 20 years when one night I had a dream that I was being strangled by someone/something. I heard a male voice which I recognized but can’t place who it was saying very sternly “Let go of her now”. I woke with a start & felt my heart beating fast. I got up to calm down & went to have a cigarette on the balcony & could really feel pressure on my neck as though I had actually been strangled. The pressure went after a few minutes. It took me a while to get back to sleep that night & I can still hear the voice of the male in my head, even though this dream happened over a month ago.
Hi Sarah,
what a terryfying dream that is! And very real too. Now from what I understand – no real person has been in the apartment doing this I guess. And given that assumption – and given that I do not know you or your specific (life) situation – it is hard for me to know exactly what this dream is about. Just to understand it correctly – was the male voice telling the person strangling you to let go? That’s how I understand it. If this is the case, in an “inner interpretation” (seeing the person strangling you and the male voice illustration something you have in yourself), you should consider what the person strangling you represents. It is you having some – e.g. – very desctructive thoughts about yourself (thoughts that are slowly “killing you” – at least mentally), and the male voice represents another part of you knowing how to stop those destructive thoughts.. well again – hard for me to know 🙂 Best regards – Mcihael
hi had a dream some thing was strangling me i dont know what it was i was trying to scream it wouldnt let me
and was making me count 40 days and threw me on other side of bed as i woke up i was sleping in my normal place
Hi Shakeela,
what an interesting but obviously scary dream! Now since I do not know you or your specific life situation, it is hard for me to know exactly what the dream tries to illustrate. But I find the 40 days very interesting – do you believe in God? I come to think of the 40 days that Jesus spent in the desert, waiting for the Devil. Or the 40 days the Israelites spent there as a punishment for not obeying God. Anyway – try yourself to research the bible (or simply Google 40 days in the desert, e.g. Wikipedia might have some suggestions), some of this might make sense to you in your life right now. Best regards – Michael
Hi! Im almira 43 yrs old from philipines looking for an answer what does it means of my dream. I had dream that someone at first he massage back of neck then strangling me, I said to my dreams in jesus name, in jesus name, then I woke up. Then come in thought my brother.
Hi Almira,
And thank you for your comment, Apologies for my late reply, but I receive many comments every day, and I simply cannot keep up with them. That is also why I have decided to no longer do interpretations for free. Instead I offer the following options: http://www.michaelrolsen.com/dreamcoaching. Best regards – Michael
Last night I had a dream almost same as a guy above. I felt like my mom was strangling me with her hands and it felt so real, I thought I was really dying. I love my mom but we fight a lot and she kind of always overpowers me even when I am right (moms are moms lol), Maybe that’s why I had such dream.. I was really horrified when I woke up, me and my Mom share the same bed but she was not besides me at that time
Hi Taara,
thank you for your comment and dream! I have a hard time telling how old you are, but the dream might be telling you, that it is about time you get a bed on your own (if your situation allows it). Especially since you already see how your mum tends to overpower you. Best regards – Michael
I had a dream last night that I was in a car with my boyfriend.
The car stopped and a blonde girl ran up to the back window, I wound down the window a bit for her and she reached in and grabbed my purse. I twisted round to say ‘what are you doing!’ And as I did that, my boyfriend put his hand around my neck and began to strangle me.
He apologised as he did it and ‘I’m sorry, I have to do this’.
Just before I woke up I remember feeling like the girl running to the back window was a way of getting me to twist so my boyfriend could get his hands around my neck. I.e. She wasn’t really wanting to steal my purse, she was a ruse.
Any help gratefully received as this has shaken me up – my boyfriend is fab and I don’t feel like he’s suffocating me in anyway at the moment!
Hi Sarah,
and thank you for your comment / dream! Do you know the girl acting as a ruse? If not – she might illustrate a side of yourself complicating your relationship with your boyfriend. Can you in any possible way see how you yourself (in your thinking/action) might force your boyfriend to want you to change (be someone else)? The dream might be saying – you need to try to be yourself in your relationship. And btw. if you feel you cannot be yourself – I think this is something you should bring up with your boyfriend. Best regards – Michael Rohde Olsen
Pls sir, I have repeated dreams of an unknown person trying to strangle me to death, this dream keep coming all the time in my life, infact sometimes it seems too real to be a dream am very worried
Hi Cosmas,
thank you for your terrifying dream! Since you do not know the person you could ask yourself – do you have any limiting beliefs about yourself, so limiting that you basically “cripple” yourself mentally? On the other hand, the dream might mean that this person trying to strangle you is actually a part of you wanting something positive to happen – he/she might want you to drastically change yourself/the way you live your life, in order for you to truly live. When we die in dreams it is often a portrayal of how we need to change – the current version of ourselves needs to “die” – leaving room for new and better ways of being us! Best regards – Michael
have been having the same dream almost everyday sameone trying to choke me

Hi there. I had a dream where i was in bed laying down and all of the sudden a snake started strangling me. I react by pulling the snake by it’s tail and unwinding it from my neck and throwing it to the wall. All in a single calm yet alerted state. Then i wake up.
Thank you for your time
Dear William – thank you for your terrifying snake dream! Since I do not know you or your specific life situation, it is hard for me to know what this dream might be about. Did you also see the blog post on snake dreams? On the one hand, the snake might symbolize unconscious thoughts/fears/anxieties, how you maybe try to ignore relatively strong emotions that you have – and how that is “killing” you. The snake might also symbolize the unconscious in itself, how you are treating it (wanting to kill it), but maybe it is not so dangerous after all? Best regards – Michael Rohde Olsen
i had a dream & in my dream everything felt so real.. my body felt so weak like I could barely do anything or move, and at one point there were these men who’s faces I couldn’t ever see, and they were trying to get me, and when they started to choke me I felt like I could actually feel it, I tried screaming for help or banging on a wall but I couldn’t hit the wall hard enough and when I screamed nothing would come out except a small hoarse sound… In my dream when I got away I ran to my mom like a little baby and got in bed with her & was beginning to fall asleep.. Then I woke up (which this felt real, I thought I really was in bed with my mom and that I had just woken up) but then all these arms started to grab me and hold me down and my mom just looked at me, I tried screaming once again and nothing would come out. I was so scared. when I woke up my throat was hurting so bad like it had really happened & I had to actually catch my breath & I busted out crying because of how real that nightmare had seemed. sorry if this dream makes no sense, or if it’s not what you were asking for, but I’m afraid to go back to sleep for fear that I won’t be able to wake myself up, but that I will feel all of this again.
Hi Emily,
dreams are not at all nonsense – no matter what the content 🙂 The language of dreams might appear strange – but what dreams try to convey mostly is not strange. Since I do not know you or your specific life situation – it is hard for me to guess what the dream might be about. But it might illustrate how you have an internal pressure from other sides of yourself (male sides), that you again and again avoid making contact with (i.e. using and integrating in your waking life thinking and behaviour). When men appear in a womans dream, they often symbolize elements of her personality relating to “knowing your direction in life”, your decision power (ability to take decisions regarding yourself) – and in this case you seem to (always?) run back to mom – i.e. in real life, hold on to what you know, and what is certain. The dream might be saying – it is now time for you to take full responsibility for your own life. You cannot use (your inner?) mom anymore – you need to stand on your own two feet. Best regards – Michael Rohde Olsen
I had a dream last night, actually I awoke to it this morning, where I was lying in bed with my husband, and for some reason I had a piece of string, ribbon or fabric tied around my throat three times. In my dream I actually awoke feeling this around my neck getting so tight that I was starting to find it difficult to breathe. I had the thought that I had put the ribbon around my neck before I went to sleep, and how stupid it was to put some thing around my neck before going to bed. I mentioned it to my husband and asked him to help me unravel it. He seemed not to worried, even though I was getting more and more panicked by the whole experience, as the ribbon was getting tighter and tighter. He started to unravel it, and I then continued to unravel what ever was around my throat. As I mentioned, it was wrapped around me three times, and as I unwrapped the final bit, it had dug into my neck so deeply it was incredibly painful to remove. There was no blood or cuts, just a very deep impression. I then Went and had a shower, with my neck feeling as if it was no longer strong enough to support my head. this was when I woke up.
Hi Holly,
what a horrifying dream! Since I do not know you or your specific life situation, it is hard for me to know what the dream might be about. Maybe you are making a fuzz out of something that is not as serious and threatening as it might seem to you? Your husband in the dream might thus symbolize how talking to your husband about this, might take of the pressure. Or he might symbolize a more male side of yourself that you need to get in contact with, in order to unravel the strings inside you. Best regards – Michael
Hey
I had a dream about being strangled.
I was twelve and I love this Japanese animation named Anime and I still like it.
I was walking down the street in my dream and my hood was pulled backwards from a mans grip.
He pulled me around for a bit but I kept calm thinking it was just a teenage boy being a idiot.
But then I was in the air with a hand over my neck and creepy music started to play.
I saw his face and it was my favorite character from the Japanese animation I watch named Sasori.
All he said was “sleep for now”.
I woke up and my neck felt like it had been gripped. Is this just a childish dream I dunno?
Hi Zero – what a scary dream! Now I do not know you or your specific life situation – but it seems as if Sasori is a hero character for you – so why might he be trying to strangle you? Well – what he really says is actually “sleep for now” – and might not mean “die for now” – maybe you simply need to relax more in your life? What what Sasori do in your (real life) situation? Best regards – Michael Rohde Olsen
I had a dream that I was in a maze or temple in a game and my sister was there and we were running trying to get the best of the other I got there first and she came from above and was strangling me when I was opening a chest and for some reason a lucario(Pokemon) was there with then I woke up this puzzles me ever since I had this dream I understand why my sister was there but the rest is confusing
Hi K,
what a scary dream! It is hard for me to know exactly what this might mean, as I do not know you, or how your relationship with your sister is, or how you would normally describe her (as she might illustrate the part of yourself that is like her). So – the maze might be “the maze of life” and maybe you are unconsciously comparing yourself (too much) to your sister, or you look up to her – thinking that she knows how to get through the maze. The dream might then be saying – it is time for you to find your own way in life. Best regards – Michael
Hi
I dreamt of being choked From behind every time I tried to go forward in my dream . They would grab my shirt collar so tight and pull it so I couldn’t breathe . At the end of the dream I was held down and choked this way in front of two people who wouldn’t help me ( unsure who people were ) but I knew there was someone else I’m the house who would help me ( again unsure who ) I awoke at this point never seeing who was trying to choke me but in my dream I was blaming God for doing it . I believe in God but not a religious person is churchgoer etc . Very strange dream
Hi Neil,
what an interesting (and of course frightening) dream! The people trying to strangle you might illustrate sides of yourself hindering you in moving forward/developing naturally. All the while you are blaming someone else (in this case God) for your misfortune. Now I do not know you or your specific life situation, but could it be that you do this in real life? I.e. – you want to do a lot of things in your life, but instead of actually doing it, you blame the whole world (your parents/upbringing, friends, job, current situation etc.) for this not happening? Best regards – Michael
I had a dream last night that I was standing with my back to an open door at the mall when someone from behind started to strangle me. The stranger would wait until I was almost unconscious and then let go just long enough for me to catch my breath and regain some strength. Just when I think I’m ok he reappears and does it again. This happens at least 3-4 times. Meanwhile my very pregnant friend goes running past me in this mall screaming to me for help and to keep her husband away from her, that he’s crazy! (and in reality he’s a good guy) but I can’t help her because I’m slowly dying. Why the repeated strangulations??
Hi Shannon, and thank you for your dream/comment! It is hard for me to know exactly what this is an illustration of, since I do not know you, or the characteristics of your relationship with your friend. Are you in someway maybe envious/jealous of your friend being pregnant (is she pregnant in real life?) – maybe you some how feel you are becoming less important for your friend then (in real life), that you are “dying” from her? Well – just guessing 🙂 Best regards – Michael
Recently had a dream that I was suffocating my wife using a choke hold around her mouth. We tried several times but I was unsuccessful. Then a huge person walks into the room and says he can do it and apologizes to her and asks her to tell him she’s ready. I then wake up and immediately hug my wife. She is my soul mate. My position was recently eliminated so my professional future is uncertain but my personal life has always been great. Any idea what the meaning of this dream can be?
Hi Anthony, what a terrifying dream! An immediate thought could be that you somehow are embarrased about recently being laid of, so embarrased that you cannot stand the fact that your wife witnesses this, and a part of you wishes that she doesn’t have to witness it – i.e. “wishing” she was not there. Not that you would ever do this in real life of course! Another line of thought is also – how does your wife actually respond to you being laid of – is she maybe “too” understanding and supportive?! Maybe you have gotten angry with her for this lately – but never allowed yourself to feel that anger. Again – only guessing! Michael
Hi Michael
I had a dream of my father who passed away about 4 years ago, grabbing me out of a car and strangling me. When he appeared in the dream, i knew he had passed on and when he appeared i was smoking a cigarette, he then seemed to just appear exactly in front of me from the distance that he first appeared, pulled me out of the car and started strangling me with a rope, i cried and kept trying to free myself from him and when i prayed in the dream, he finally let go and i woke up.
Hi TP,
what a terryfying dream! Now I do not know anything about the specific relationship btw you and your father, but the dream might simply portray how the fact that you are “holding on” to him (in your thinking, maybe even in how you life your life) prevents you from moving on. The dream might say – you need to “die” (the current version of you, how you see the world), in order for a better version of you to be born. At least the dream to me invites you to take a close look at your current relationship (inner relationship) with your father. It could also be, that your father in real life had e.g. great expectations to you, and since you now try hard to live up to these, it might be “killing you” (preventing you from living your own life). Best regards – Michael
Hi,
Last night i had a dream about being strangled by somebody who wasnt there so like a ghost and i was saying to my mum to call for an ambulance. The other half is currently in the Navy and has been deployed recently for 9 months so assumed this is something to do with that?
Hi DLM90,
terrying dream! Well – it might be about that, only you would know since it is your dream. If it is about that, then the dream might be saying that you really need to accept that this is now the situation, if not – constantly thinking your partner might slowly “kill you” mentally. Or that other person in the dream might also symbolize a side of yourself (a specific thought pattern or behaviour) that has a destructive effect on you, OR it is someone who has a positive mission; kill the current and “out-of-date” version of you (again, how you currently think/live your life) – in order for a better and more up-to-date version of you to materialize. BUT – only guessing since I do not know much about you and your specific life situation. Best regards – Michael
I dreamt my boyfriend, who I have only gotten together with recently, strangled my 14 year old daughter! What does this mean? My boyfriend was also the best friend of my ex husband.
Hi Sasha,
this is really hard for me to have any qualified guess about since I don’t know much about your situation, your relationship with your daughter, your boyfriends relationship with her etc. The dream might e.g. be saying – all the thinking you are doing about him (how you are maybe currently preoccupied with him), or all the time you simply spend with him – might mean that you forget about your daughter, or at least have less focus on her and her needs. Again – only guessing since I don’t have much to work with 🙂 Best regards – Michael
Hi,my name is jason,and i had a weird dream last night about my classmate asking me for a bro fist,which i did ,he then told me im to far i should come closer ,afte that bro fist at the same time he pressed my fist straight to my nek,i was unable to remove my fist,i was like ok challenge accepted ,i tried to say something but my voice was demped by that hold
Hi Jason,
what an interesting dream! Hmm – it’s hard for me to know exactly what this dream might symbolize since I don’t know your or your situation (or what characterizes your classmate for that matter). But it might be about how that person in real life is putting a pressure on you – or how something inside you – resembling your associations to that person – is putter a pressure on you right now. What are your associations to your classmate? Best regards – Michael
I dreamt about being strangled by a girl wearing all black clothing with long hair. In my dream I woke up and there was blood all over the wall where I was sleeping and a red dress hanging at the door. In real life when I woke up none of these things were there. What does this mean???
Hi Danielle – what an interesting dream! Since she wore all black clothing I would immediately think along the lines of her representing your own “shadow” as it’s called in dreamland – i.e. sides of yourself that are somehow unconscious to you. This might be less attractive sides of you (e.g. how you are jealous, envious, maybe dominant sometimes etc.), and that fact that you are not realising this is giving you a hard time. She might also represent a part of yourself that is very hard on you – i.e. thoughts you have about yourself that are very demeaning – but has nothing to do with how you truly are. The red dress on the other hand is clearly something else – red is a strong/forceful color – blood is red, and blood often is a symbol of life. The dream thus could be saying that you have been to harsh on yourself lately – it is now time to put on the red and lively/forceful dress. I.e. you DO have this kind of force in yourself, a force you are not using now however. Best regards – Michael
Thanks so much!! That makes sense.
Best,
Danielle
I dreamt that I was sleeping face down. I glanced back and saw a male kid grinned at me with black cloth in his hands. Next thing I knew he has taken the cloth and shoved my head inside. He was choking me from behind and it was getting harder and harder to breathe. I kind of knew it was a dream so I focused to wake up and eventually did. I was gasping for breath and was very nervous of how horrible the dream was.
I am single and have no kid so I am a bit clueless as to who that male kid represents.
Hi Jocel – what a scary dream! Since the cloth is black, and most likely the kid is someone you don’t know, the dream might portray a “shadow” in yourself – a side of yourself you are not to familiar with (conscious about). Could you think of any thoughts or behaviour you might have, that actually are highly destructive ways or behaviours? The kid could also represent something very positive – and since you are not integrating/using this side of yourself, it is slowly “killing” you. Best regards – Michael
Lately I have been having a dream that a shadow figure that seems to be a woman is standing beside me while I am choking or suffocating. I tend to wake myself up because I am snoring and am wondering if that is the cause of the dream.
Hi Alma – it is hard for me to know what this woman might signify, as I do not know anything about you/your life situation. She might be an illustration of an unconscious side of you; it is also important whether she is the one choking you, or whether you feel she is helping you in that situation. Best regards – Michael
My husband woke up last night… After sleeping 10 minutes… And said he had a very vivid dream of being at Home Depot. He was walking to the checkout lines, and a couple went to one line and the husband started choking another lady. He asked the wife is she was gonna stop him and she said no. So he tried to and then he woke up.
Hi Tci,
and thank you for your interesting dream! I have realized that I have no chance (not enough time) in terms of getting back on all the comments I now get, so I have decided not to offer free interpretation any longer. Very soon I will have a payment system on the website, so that I can offer dream interpretation against payment, at that time I would be glad to help you out! Best regards – Michael R Olsen.
Hi Michael,
So I rarely remember vivid dreams but there was one in particular that I question. I was in a small clustered bedroom. The bed was facing the bedroom door. All around me were masks, of all types, just everywhere. I remember in the dream figuring out when to just fall asleep. As I closed my eyes, one mask in particular slowly moved to face me and from that moment I was being strangled. Kind of in a head lock hold but I was sleeping on my side so it was a weird feeling. I wasn’t exactly choking, I was just well aware of the sensation in my dream of something putting me in a hold around my neck and I couldn’t break free. As it stopped that was when I woke up.
Hej Savanny,

Last night I dreamt putting my friend’s baby to sleep and I was locked in the living room with him… I then heard my mom screaming and I came out of the living room and went into the bedroom where she was mad and started strangling me until I could hardly breathe I remember in the dream my grandma was present and told us to go to the police and I woke up after feeling my neck was hurting.
What does this mean?

So my boyfriend woke me up last night freaking out telling me he can’t breath and that I was choking him. He said in the dream, we were both laying there sleeping and I rolled over and had my arm on his neck. Then the weight of my arm grew stronger and stronger, he tried pinching me yelling at me and even hitting me cause he was being suffocated and right before his last breath he woke up. Thats the dream. My arm was around he waist when he woke me up.

I had a dream last night where I entered an dark bedroom with only a bunk bed inside. I couldn’t turn on the light and when I did try to it didn’t work and I got worried. But I lied down on the top bunk and then it seemed like a ghost was strangling me and I tried to scream help. It felt like my mouth was moving but no words would come out. I woke up breathing very heavy and confused. I fell back asleep shortly and then the same exact thing happened again, except this time I knew it was coming. When I walked into that room I immediately got worried because I knew what was going to happen. I tried the light again to maybe save myself and it didn’t work. Even though I knew exactly what was coming I still lied and was being strangled again. I woke up and thought maybe I should have let it happen, I don’t know. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

In my dream last night, I dreamt that something was in some random buildingn that my family and I were in. Something came over my mom after three phone calls and no answer and she looked at me with these pure white eyes instead of thwir usual blue. A woman of whom I do not know was standinng there as my mother continually tried to wrap her hamds around my neck in an attempt to choke me and i called out to the woman and she just stated “youre mother is only trying to love you” to which my mother replied “No, i only try to choke you.” After continued attempts, she snapped out of it and the woman was gone. The dream ended when I was walking around a corner in the pitch black building. I jolted awake but could still feel the hands around my neck. Im terrified yo fall back asleep as this is the second time ive dreamt this dream. Not sure how to take this dream.

I had a very freaky dream this afternoon while taking a nap. The first part was just usual dream stuff, in a room in a hotel/convention area with people in my life who had nothing to do with each other. Then I left and went to the elevator to go down. It was the 16th floor. As soon as the door closed, the elevator turned into a speeding tram. Then hands started slowly closing in on my neck. My mind was racing OH MY GOD. Then I woke up. Needless to say very unsettling.

My dream was that I was running naked down the hallway of what I think we’re flats and my boyfriend was chasing me, trying to kill me, I tripped and fell to the floor and he pinned me down and was strangling me. I was thrashing about in the bed and woke up crying and shaking and coughing, almost being sick, like I really couldn’t breathe. I was crying so much and then realised I was in my bed and put my light on and sat up still crying and coughing. (Ironically my boyfriend heard me from downstairs and ran upstairs to find out what on earth was happening and he cuddled me and made me feel better) I’ve never had such an awful and what felt so real dream before. Any ideas???

I dreamed of happily swimming in the sea, floating and swimming when suddenly a man grabbed me and said I shouldn’t be swimming there. He put a rope around my neck and yanked, 2-3 times. It was terrifying. At the end of the dream we were kissing. I woke up feeling disturbed and confused. What could it possibly Mean?

My girlfriend when having a bad dream I tend to comfort her and ensure her that it was just a dream and isn’t real. Well this morning my girlfriend ended up having something happen to her. She dreamt that I was choking her and she woke up-to me doing it. I don’t recall doing anything to her of the sort at all this morning except for trying to comfort her. She told me she thinks it’s reality so she is very scared and upset with me. I personally and honestly would never hurt her and I don’t recall my hands being on her neck at all. We did have a late night laying down together. I am not sure as if she was dreaming or not or if I was when I “did what she said I did”.
Her story how she said it went down.
She woke up to me choking her, I didn’t say anything while I was doing it. She said I then tried to comfort her as if she was having a bad dream, she pushed me off and said I was crazy, then I rolled over and she went to the couch.
My memory
Fell asleep cuddling up next to her, woke up to her pushing me off her saying I was crazy, I asked what’s wrong, she then didn’t tell me, then I rolled over. 3 hours later and here we are discussing what had happened, I feel really bad I don’t ever want to hurt her I love her to much. I don’t recall hurting her. But she does have some bad dreams about me. She had a couple were I cheated on her. I don’t give her any reason to think I’m cheating I’m literally always with her, we live together she works, and I usually stay home. I’m 28 and she is 22. Any insight? Thanks.

I had a dream last night that I was asleep in my dream and got woken up by Ziggy Roscoe off Hollyoaks trying to strangle me but also in my dream I found out that he had a condition that turned him into a psychopath whilst he was asleep. Straight after him it seemed I jumped into another dream which there was an unknown old man trying to strangle me. I was ready and waiting that time though to push him down some stairs when he tried to kill me. I then woke up in such a panic because it felt so real.

It’s 2:37 AM and I have just woke up from a terrifying dream. I was laying in bed and all of a sudden I felt my airways being cut off. There was nothing physically on my neck but I felt like something was squeezing. I tried opening my eyes but they were glued shut. I reached over to open the door to the room and proceeded to crawl down the hallway to my parents room. They always leave their door open so I crawl in there and try to shake my dads foot but any movement was extremely difficult since I could not breath. I kept on trying to wake him and scream but my closed passage way wouldn’t let me. My step mom walked in and put her hand on my arm and started praying over me but the feeling just got more intense and I thought I was dying. She stopped talking and all of a sudden I felt the “hands” around my throat loosen and I went to open my eyes. But I wasn’t in my parents bed room and more. I was back in my own bed in the same position I had fallen asleep in twenty minutes ago. I never thought it was a person strangling me though. I remember specifically thinking it was a demon. This is one of the scariest dreams I’ve had, which is saying something because I have experienced sleep paralysis. What do you think?

summary of My life situation right now: I’m a 19 year old male. Not in school anymore. Recently I got terminated from a job. A well paying job. I am currently looking for a new job while living with my gf in her mother’s home. At the same time I have a drive to persue being a personal trainer and a proffesional musician as my ultimate goal, but I need money to do all those things so I’m focusing on looking for a job right now. My girlfriend keeps putting me down unknowingly saying I am not doing anything and that I’m falling off my game, that I’ve fallen off my game. But I’m trying to keep positive by doing what I love, teaching people fitness lifestyles by writing blogs and l myself am still learning on the way. Keeping music on pause right now. Since I don’t have the funds to record my music. So I write fitness blogs. Today I promised my gf I will only focus on looking for jobs the whole day. Also I visit my family once every two weeks and gf doesn’t like going. Can be problematic sometimes ends in arguments. Also her family really stresses me out and I am uncomfortable around them. Annoyed.
My dream: I was at my grandma’s house, family was there but not my whole family aunts and uncles mom and my brother whom I visit. There was a problem with an uncle. My grandma didn’t want him and his girlfriend around he was too problematic. But that night my grandpa let my uncle come over. But before he came my grandpa installed metal detectors at the door. Uncle came in along with his girlfriend he hears the metal detector go off and that really raged him. A fight broke out between him and the rest of my uncle’s right infront of my brother and I. We were really nervous because my raged uncle can be destructive and vicious. My brother and I were on the couch. The fight came to us and landed ony brother. My brother was getting hurt so i tried pulling them off him and my brother slipped through. Then i tried to talk some sense into my uncle who I love while my other uncles were holding him down in a struggle and he reached out to me thinking he was going to hug me but instead wrapped his hands around my neck and tried to strangle me really really hard it was really painful but I escaped. I went to another room. Picked up the phone and called 911. I tried to get the street address because I had forgotten it and asked my aunt but she didn’t want to tell me. I eventually figured it out but the operator was cutting off and she was getting frustrated and hung up. I tried about 2 times then my uncle came in because he found out about me calling the police and he said to me “You’re calling the police? Is that how you respect me?” And I said to him in rage, and hurt and fear, “Is strangling me how you respect me!?” He paused for a moment and then I woke up really shooken.
What can this mean, I’m not so much an emotional person but this dream really shook me up.
Hi Anton – and thank you for your dream and description of life situation. It somehow seems to me that all this rage is what you yourself is actually feeling, but not letting out. Instead it comes out in your dreams. You might feel angry about your girlfrien, but very much also about yourself, and the fact that you are not where you would like to be in your life. It strikes me, that you say you love writing blogs about fitness/healthy life style – are you sure you want the “professional musician dream” so much? And btw. what are your associations to the uncle that is trying to strangle you – maybe some of this can provide you a clue as to why he (the stuff in yourself that resemble him) is trying to strangle you right now? In the dream you call for help (from outside, like you contact me here), but what can you do yourself in the situation? Best regards -Michael
I had a dream last night i was stumbling around drunk and fell on thé floor, then a baby/toddler climbed Over my face and i couldnt breathe i felt suffocated and woke myself up.
I dont have a baby or toddler but i have 3 children who are 4,7 and 10.
Hi Sarah – hmm – very interesting dream! That baby/toddler might symbolize new ideas/projects you have – or even new sides of yourself, that right now you are not paying attention to. And the reason you don’t pay attention is that somehow you are “drugging” yourself by either being very (too?) busy with something else (work?), somehting that might “cloud” your vision, at least something that prevents you from paying attention to – and taking care of – the toddler. Maybe some of this makes sense? Best regards – Michael
Today I had a very strange dream , I was using the stairs to get somewhere , then someone grabbed my hands above my head and another one started to strangle me , I tried to shout but I couldn’t .. Then all of them left me .. The strange thing is that I can still feel it right now and it’s actually hurting me !
It was a huge dream were three men were trying to kill me but that was the weird part .
I’m Syrian , 20 years old , living in Syria and studying dental medicine , the second semester will start on saturday.. And currently I spend my time on the internet or with friends ( my current life summary)
So what does it mean ?
Hi Suzanne – what a terrifying dream! You might ask yourself; do I have a part of me, that is trying to make life difficult for me? The two men might symbolize all the expections coming from outside (and then inside) yourself with regards to the coming semester starting up. What are your expectations, fears – other feelings related to the fact that you start at university again on Saturday? Or they might represent something else in you – making life difficult for you right now. Best regards Michael
I have a great relationship with my parents – both living – but last night had a weird dream that my father was strangling me. I was asleep, but alone in bed (husband & kids not in the dream), and awake to my father pulling the top of my hair so it lifts my head up, then he uses his free hand to start strangle me. I start out by calling out, “DAD!” And keep saying it until I can’t speak anymore – then I woke up. I’ve never had a dream like that, never dreamt ugly things about my parents, and have no idea where this is coming from. I’m not feuding w/them, and don’t have any family visits planned any time soon. In the past, when we’ve stayed w/them w/the kids, sometimes it can get tense & feel we’ve overstayed our welcome……but THIS?! Puzzled….hope you have ideas, thank you.

Ok, last night I dreamt I was in my living room talking to my husband andall the sudden I realized I couldn’t breath and my throat hurt. I looked down to see him choking me with one hand. I tapped his arm cause I thought he was playing, then I looked in his eyes and saw his intention and he squeezed tighter. I tried everything to get loose. I even started kicking him. Apparently, he was rubbing my leg in reality and when I started kicking on my dream I actually kicked him and I woke up.

Hello Michael! It’s been a good reading to learn about the meaning of our dreams through your site. Thank you! It was just today morning around 4:45am at my hostel room when I actually dreamt of an old ugly angry woman (with grey curly hair and black dress) trying to strangle me in my sleep right here in my bed and I did managed to push her off and then I got awake, saw the time it was 4:45am. Scary enough and I’ve been in this room alone since last September 2015 and its the first time that I’ve seen such a dream. Its quite similar to what you have wrote up there and if there’s anything extra I should know, please do let me know. Thank you!! 🙂

So first of i want to tell u a little about me right now, i am a single mother of 2 and recently lost an unborn child. I lost my job a couple months ago so maybe its been stressful. But last night u had the scariest dream ive ever had. I dreamt that i was asleep with my mom and i woke up and tried to pull up the cover but something in the corner of the bed was not letting me pull it and then suddenly started getting the air sucked out of me, im not sure if this was a ghost or some kind of demon in my dream but it felt like a really bad spirit, but while i was getting choked i was trying to get my moms attention she woke up but couldn’t understand what i was saying, it happened a few times until she got up and helped me get air- keep in mind i was still dreaming at this point. I woke up finally after a while. I cant get this dream out of my head though, what do you think it was?

Hi i just had a dream that left me gasping for air.I had a dream that somehow i had fallen on the ground i think i was being chased and my fiance then came and picked me up but as i thought he was helping me he was choking me instead. He would choke me and then release like he is letting go but then choke me again. In the dream strangely enough it felt like he was saving me from whatever i was running from up until he choked and did not let go.I woke up gasping for breath crying not understanding whats happening. This dream scared me so much please advise what you think this could mean.

Hi so this literally happened right now to my brother! He was laying in bed, and it was very dark. All of a sudden he said he saw a bat fly from the corner to him and it started choking him. He said he was screaming very loudly. But me or my parents did not hear any scream. He was so scared! He told me that he dreamt of that bat before but he never really saw its face. It also felt very realistic. Like it actually happened. Can you tell me why this happened or what does it mean?

I just had a dream about a ghost of a dead man but it was as if it was a vision he was strangling my little sister until I seen her neck snap back bleeding then I blinked and seen her just fine then I grabbed her and told her to pray with me as I screamed at the ghost to stay the F### away from my sister. I can then see him trying but he couldn’t touch her I wouldn’t allow it.

I was walking with one of my friends and she did something that make me mad like a small thing and then we met another group of my collage girls I mostly don’t love them … And then we laughed a little and I saw my father waiting in the corner and I went with him and because this all happened near our home area I thought we were going to home but then we went to pick up some things from a store like fabrics and I remember seeing this woman who was obsiosly stricted and firm … She asked who is here will pay for themselves and who can’t pay … And I think I didn’t say anything but everyone pointed at me and at this point my father wasn’t there and she began to suffocate me and I don’t remember whether it was with a sharp object or her hands but I cries till my father came and rescued me … And we were setting and I felt my neck hurting and I woke up crying.

I recently had a dream that my mother was suffocating me. We were sleeping on the same bed in the dream and then I felt her hand come over my mouth,at first I thought she was going to pray for me but she suffocated me instead! About 10 years ago,I had a similar dream where she was drowning me! In this recent dream,when I screamed for help my husband was able to wake me up but I was terrified. What could this mean?

My mother died May 10, almost a month ago and the past week I’ve been having nightmares of her strangling me. Her eyes are white and cloudy but also veined, her stin is yellow and spotted like how she looked in the hospital room when I saw her post mortem. She has this vice grip aand no matter how much I fight and claw at her arms and hands she wont let go. Shes so angry at me and my lungs are shriviling up and my back arches as I try for leverage… I’m in bed but its black around me and all I see of her is her upper body coming out if the darkness. Shes so ragefilled and I can hear her shrill scream of my name like how she called for me to come inside when I was extremely late coming home… and I wake up to that. I can breathe just fine afterward and I am in the same position I fell asleep in…
Help?
Hi Nicholas – what a terrifying dream! And sorry for the loss of your mother. Unfortunately I am no longer able to help out for free on this website, as I get many requests every day.

This morning, I dreamt that some guy was standing in my room and we were talking. At first, everything seemed fine, but somehow he started to choke me. I tried to bite him and but unfortunately he had me in the air as I struggled to breathe. When I woke up it took a few moments to catch my breath and my chest felt heavy.
After reading the post, the guy kind of reminds me of this person who works at my job. The hours for my job are quite unpredictable and are often late at night or very early in the morning. Maybe this dream had something to do with my hectic, busy work schedule?

I been having the same dream about a shadowy figure that comes inside my room, and its the same one and it looks like a girl. My first dream was, she came in and jumped on my bed, i looked around and i saw nothing, then out of nowhere i saw her and she screaming in my ear for a good five minutes, i was banging the walls to have someone to wake me up but everytime i try to hit a wall, it made no sound that was a good year ago or half a year ago, now just yesterday, i had a dream she came back in my room, but this time she was choking me, but i try to scream in my dream and i started puking everytime i open my mouth. i tried hitting and kicking the walls and no sound, and then i try to open my mouth again and i kept puking.
i would like to know what you think about this, its always the same shadow girl also.

I had a dream that someone was choking me. I couldn’t see who it was. I just called for my grandma and my sister. I was hollering for them, but they couldn’t hear me. I then put my hand to the right to stop whoever it was and I had a strong feeling or some sort of aura its really hard to explain and then I felt a burning sensation on my arm and then it was gone.

I had a very vivid dream last night that I was fighting against an alien invasion quite successfully until a leader alien tried to suffocate me by covering it’s mouth over mine until another alien arrived just before I was about to die and showered us in red and pink heart shapes. The alien that was trying to suffocate me stopped and u was able to breath again. What on earth does this mean? Please help shed some light for me. Thank you.

Hi Michael, last night I dreamt of being strangled by my twin sister. I walked into her room during the night so it was pitch black (we don’t live together in real life). As I accidentally disturbed her she got up and grabbed me around the neck. She was pressing her thumbs into the sides of my throat and pinning me down on to the bed. The room was still dark so all I could see was a shadow of a person. We are best friends and very close so this was a disturbing dream.
I woke up with a fright as I could actually feel the thumbs pressing into my neck.
I had to put the light on as I was scared. Not a nice dream at all!

I just woke up from a dream of being strangled by this complete stranger. I guess he was becoming my friend in the dream and he wanted me to go somewhere with him and these other guys to another country but I told him I couldn’t go. Other people were around sleeping like my father, mother and other people and he just started choking me. I couldn’t breathe. I was very scared and than I caught a glimpse of air that I said okay okay I’ll go and he let go and that’s when I woke up and my throat and breathing was very harsh.

Ok so last night I had a dream of being in a room with my sisters boyfriend just talking and then my sister comes in the room and out of nowhere, I find myself outside of the room with the door shut. When a bird/ dog like because it kept being both, that was bedazzled from its beak also. As far as the dog it was bedazzled from the mouth area. But the thing is it was weird because it was strangling me from my wrists. Even though it was an animal. And I would fight him off and I just couldn’t. And I was pleading for help and it was like no one was hearing me, I was trying to yell for my sisters name but she couldn’t hear me so somehow I managed to crawl over to the door and bang on it and yell help me then after that is when I woke up because my alarm went off. since then I’ve been thinking about it all day long because I don’t think I’ve ever had a dream like this one before, to where I wake up so frightened about it.

My girlfriend keeps having dreams of me choking her, sometimes in water. Last night she dreamt of that happening 7 times! She wakes up in fear and this is starting to affect our relationship, shes afraid to fully trust me. I’ve read about such dreams and i’d like to roll out the explanation of me oppressing her or anything related. We are really happy together. Shes having family issues right now which might end up in her parents getting divorced.

I dreamt I was in my moms apartment and I buzzed someone into the building from downstairs. I was happy because I thought I had a package coming from the mailman. It was pitch black in front of me to the door but I was standing in light. I heard someone enter and immediately I was frightened. Suddenly another me jumped out of the shadows and started choking me with it’s hands. I screamed so loud and was terrified. I woke up sitting up in bed with my hand out screaming. I could hear my scream echoing throughout my apartment. I just got back from a week away doing what I love(art) and am not really happy with my current job or anything really.

Hi I just had a dream that my boyfriend had a new friend it was a girl but I always thought it was a boy, for some reason we were all hanging out and this person would stay for hours in the room and it was starting to frustrate me so I kindly told the person to leave. Somehow I realized it was a girl so for some reason I was very upset. I told her to leave and she still wouldn’t, instead she started choking me! Somehow I got off and choked her instead and she passed out for a few seconds, when she woke up she said something about being obsessed with my boyfriend and choked me again, it felt so real… I woke up from the choking on my dream and my neck felt like I was actually choked. My boyfriend didn’t do anything to defend me in my dream…. I’ve heard that when you die in a dram you wake up right away… If that’s true, it means I died being chocked on my dream… What does that mean???
Some background info: Me and my boyfriend have a great relationship we trust each other and he doesn’t really have a lot of friends he hangout with so i don’t know why I had that dream! I used to see him every day but about a month ago I had to move to a city 3 hrs away and I don’t see him as often anymore.
Hey Micheal i just had a dream of me being at my dad place on computer and me and my buddy i work with were there it was OK but my dad came in from putting another co-worker off the computer and my father and me arguing a minute than i try to explain to buddy that this his house and stuff cause he mad my dad kick off our co-worker who than start arguing with me but as i talk my voice get quieter and harder to speak but it look like he understood me completely than he get up i feel a nerving feeling then he grab his jacket or whatever try to strangle me then i woke up. The reason i was surprised is he was fire from my work place while ago and we had no negative tense relationship so why he strangle me? I look up that it either mean 2 thing i uncomfortable while sleepy or that as lifestyle goes i mentally or in general killing myself slowly and Holding myself back from potential from what i look up but wonder if you can identify why i had it Thank if can Micheal.
Hi, I had a dream I was walking up a hall way to a lift with a college. Just as I reach the lift he starts to strangle me. I am frightened to be in a room or in a situation myself with another male now.
I had a dream last night that my brother was trying to strangle me over a fight we had about something that I dont remember. When I woke up, I couldnt move, but I remember pleading him to let me live. I couldnt breathe at all except for little breaths, not enough to really inflate my lungs at all. But when I woke up, for like 10 seconds I couldnt move my body, but immediately after I was pulled from sleep I screamed his name, I was sort of awake but I was dreaming and I only yelled in my dream, its confusing, and terrifying.

I’m 14 and I’m in a long distance relationship. My boyfriend lives in New Mexico and live in the UK which makes it really hard for us. I had a dream in which I was at his house and lying in his bed (dressed) as he was cuddling me from behind then out of nowhere he just strangles me and I wake up crying. I told him about it and he said that he would never try hurting me so I carried on with my life as usual but it still bothers me. Do you have any idea of what it could of meant?

Hello!
So I had dreamed I was being choked by a man. They were very angry at me. I could see their face before it happened. He looked furious at me and ready to attack me. He did. The man in my dream was a stranger and yet, he seemed almost like a discarded or forgotten part of me/part of someone I had interacted with during a past life as there was a similarity/familiarity about him. As he attacked me I felt I had died died so I had an out of body experience in the dream. My spirit had gone to grab a crowbar (I chose a smaller than standard crowbar) to neutralize the person trying to strangle me and when I had returned, the man had been pried off of me and was already dead before I got the chance to use the crowbar. I woke up feeling angry and confused. Suddenly, some systemic dysfunctions I had been having with my family and my significant other had sprung into the front of my mind.

So I woke up screaming from a bizzare dream I had this morning around 2… so in my dream I was sitting inside my car waiting for someone, with the windows down. Suddenly this guy comes to try and steal my cellphone from my seat… but before he does that he pushes his finger in my mouth causing my so suffocate. I tried screaming for help but no one could hear me. The guy just kept on pushing harder and harder so that I can’t scream anymore or breath. I don’t know if he did get it right to take my phone or not. Not a good dream to wake up to… why would I have these dreams?

Had this dream where I was security guard looking after a indoor swimming pool, looked like more like a night club where I work in real life, but in the dream I was pulled by female lifeguard into the water and she started to strangle me at first I did not resist thinking it was fun and games but I could hold my breath and the water was crystal clear and I had to defend my self by resisting and getting myself out of the pool. I don’t know whether Its the club I work and I have this crush with one of the waitress there.

Hi! I was wondering if maybe you could help me with this one:
I was dreaming that my brother entered my room and laid over me like he has always done. Ever since he was born he lays his back transversal to my chest, obviously as he became older he became heavier as well.
So, in my dream, I was on my bed and he (now 20) comes and lays over me. And I start suffocating. And I try to tell him that I can’t breath but instead I just laugh, not a creepy laugh but a normal laugh. And the longer I feel like I’m running out of oxygen the more I laugh.
I woke up gasping for air and with my heart beating like crazy. It took almost two minutes to calm down.
I have a perfectly healthy relation with my brother. We are close, but to too much that it becomes suffocating. We trust and respect each other.
I was wondering if this has another meaning?
Thanks in advance!

I usually don’t remember my dreams, well last night I dreamt I was being suffocated by something evil. To look at it straight on, it looked normal, but out of the corner of my eye I could see an evil contorted face… Vaguely remember a hood. It was on my side or my back, I can’t quite remember. I didn’t wake up gasping for air but I did wake up shaken. Any ideas?

Hello,
I was dreaming that I was in an apartment by the sea (not my home), alone. Perhaps I was vacationing alone? Unsure. It was grey outside, but I had the windows opened and there was a slight breeze. I wasn’t doing anything in particular, but I knew that suddenly I wasn’t “alone” anymore. There was a negative entity there, and I suddenly felt like it was trying to suffocate me. I was fighting for my life, and trying to scream and get away but I couldn’t.
In my dream, I felt that I KNEW I was dreaming and that if only I could scream loud enough, my spouse could hear me and rescue (wake) me. I tried to scream but it was muffled. I tried and tried and my throat hurt, but I kept trying to scream. I was suddenly awakened by my husband who heard me moaning (he was in another room). I was petrified, hyperventilating. My dog was napping with me but he didn’t wake me. It has been several hours since I’ve awakened and I am still really troubled by it, and my throat is sore!
I’ve researched “suffocating” dreams and it doesn’t seem to fit the bill (I am currently home on sick leave, recovering from surgery; I have a good job, lovely home and wonderful husband- honestly, not feeling overwhelmed in any way).
Thoughts? Thank you.

Firstly I need to say, I suffer from night paralyse terrors regularly. Been months since I had one though..
I had a dream last night, I was laying in my bed – waking up being strangled. I couldn’t see anybody, and the strangle wasn’t suffocating. I could breathe as normal.
I could definitely feel the thumbs on my throat and the fingers felt cold, and I also couldn’t move. I realized it was a dream and I had to wake up somehow. I then suddenly thought about a guy I never even think about or even see. (this guy is a friend that lives in another country. if we text once a month, it’s a lot) And immediately I woke. I saw it was 2 am, and I then tossed and turned. Every time I wanted to doze off, I could feel the presence of the strangler – waiting for me.
I had a dream that I was in my english class and that I was talking to someone I knew but then I got strangled by my english teacher
I had a rather scary dream that can sound rather silly when I talk about it now.
I was dreaming that I was somehow fighting something using my phones gallery knowingly searching for rainy storm images, this while walking at a fast pace.
I eventually reached this kitchen where by boyfriend was sitting in the opposite end. I went and sat down on the other side opposite to him. I then looked to my right to see my reflection in a microwave, then noticed a scary baby like figure hovering behind me. I immediately stood up and looked behind me only to see nothing. That was when I started to be strangled by this invisible force. My boyfriend looked puzzled as he could not see why I could not breath. I then prayed and fell down as he rushed to help me. This was definitely a very deep sleep and felt so real. I then woke up with my boyfriend trying to console me as I was crying loudly in my sleep.
What could a dream like this mean?
Thanks
I dreamed of my daughter who is 21 in real life but in the dream she was about 10yrs old i was inside a new house i just built on a big property and 3 friends of my sons screamed out to me from outside that something was wrong with her, i ran to see her laying on her back legs kicking in the air convulsing ,one of the boys said he tired a ribbon around her neck but it tightened and he couldnt get it off, i ran to try and break it off her neck and as i did it tightened so tight her neck went into be about a few inches wide as i screamed for someone to get the scissors i could feel her neck closing in and the ribbon disappearing and she was gasping for her last breath it really disturbed me as that night i dreamed continuously about 3 dead family members,it woke me up gasping myself and really disturbed me like a night mare.
Hi, I was dreaming that someone is trying to strangle me, I can’t breathe and I can’t move or shout for help. It was dark but I can see the person strangling me, it was weird because I can’t see his face, but I know it’s a guy. This is the second time it happened to me. The only difference this time was that my Mom was there beside me telling me that I can overcome that nightmare. As soon as she says that, I was punching the guy and told myself it was only a bad dream. I experienced sleep paralysis twice before and the only way to get out is telling myself it’s only a dream. This is starting to bother me now. Any thoughts? Thank you.
Last night I dreamt that a voodoo type woman was trying to strangle me; I wanted to call out to my partner for help but I couldn’t speak; the woman asked me if I was scared, and I was very scared until she asked the question, at which point I got a grip of myself and said “no” and woke up…
I had an extremely vivid dream that my husband was strangling me…I felt in the dream the actual extreme fear and force that would have occurred from such an attack. This dream had occurred years after another real life incident had occurred in which I was lying very still in my bed waiting for my husband to go to sleep, so I could grab my car keys and get out of the house, because for some reason
I was fearing for my life. When I got into the car it was not starting right away and he appeared out of nowhere and jumped into the back seat, trying to take my keys and begging me not to go…I finally relented. I never really understood at the time why I was trying to run away and why I was so terrified…until I had this strangulation dream years later and I woke up thinking, “That is what happened, he had tried to kill me.” Any thoughts?
Its my first time to dream that i was being strangled & cannot utter a word. Before that happens, in the morning i am so stressed out because i was late for my morning flight to attend a seminar & i had to re-book it using our company’s account. My Lady boss advised me not to pursue of my plans going there but i have to pay back the expenses. Still I insists & had my flight in the afternoon. Two weeks before our flight also i dreamt of zombies.
I had a dream that I was the care taker for a monkey. In the morning, I went in to care for the monkey, and my boss was behind me. The monkey jumped down off the wall and strangled me, literally to death. Then the monkey stood up like a man and took over my job. I had the distinct feeling that the monkey wasn’t angry or hostile, he just knew that he had to kill me. He had to keep choking me until I stopped breathing. It was just what he had to do.
Hello,
I just had a dream where I was in some sort of magical mansion in which you would go through a wall an end up deeper in another part of it. Sort of like a dungeon. I was with two other girls I didn’t know, but we were solving puzzles in order to discover the mystery of the mansion. We had reached a point where it seemed we were almost to the end, I had just cleared a puzzle where I had to throw paint at a wall, when I came to an obstacle that seemed to have no solution. I saw people watching from the shadows, whispering to me not to go any deeper and I stopped at an empty counter with the words “Metereh” embedded in there. Just as I left and was about to leave for a another floor, I felt a presence behind, looked back to see a very tall unknown person with a face of no expression appear behind the counter. I moved to run away but I didn’t get very far before this person covered my nose and my mouth with is hands. I managed to pull those hands away but he would still catch up to me, and that happened two more times and I passed out. When I came to, I was back at the room where it all started. I tried going down again to the same floor, where it happened again, even if I tried running a different way – he still caught up to me and covered my mouth from behind, not letting me breath and making me panic. The whole thing was very scary and the whole magical mansion had this creepy feeling to it throughout, but I had this idea that I had to do it because I hated that I couldn’t get to the last floor of this “dungeon” of puzzles and at the same time that unknown very tall man terrified me. I woke up gasping for air and looking around me, scared.
I don’t know what it means. I am going to start work tomorrow, something I look forward to, I am worried about my free time since I am almost going to be taking an obligatory program classes at night in the next week for a following year, and I’m behind on projects I made for myself, since I’m an artist. Lately a lot has happened to me, my car breaking and getting me stuck in a flood, there was a massive typhoon that happened over here, and I’m suffering food poisoning at the moment.
Sorry for the long post and thank you!
Hi, yesterday I dreamed that i have choke myself to death… I also remember when i was choking myself to death the surrounding starting to change to a schene where i choke myself and was drowing.. It felt so real that i woke up and my neck felt so uncomfortable.. What does this means?
As I’m writing this, I just woke up. It was a dream where my momom wanted me to go to school but just wasn’t feeling well so she made me sleep in her room while she was at work. So a couple minutes pass and start to get tired of the position that I’m laying in bed and thought about moving and I said : “Nah, I’m not gonna move. It might set of an alarm.” And I accidentally moved and the alarm went off. I could hear the alarm from the living room and I got up and opened the door and someone was pulling me back by the hood of my onesie. I undid my onesie and tried to run but I was wearing a hooded shirt under it and it pulled my shirt trying to choke me again. I ripped my hoodad and I ran into a bathroom, but not the one at my house. I saw my best friend and another girl I go to school with and I don’t know what they said but they both started crying and then I started crying and then I woke up.
I had a dream of the devil choking me to death last night. Whail others was standing there watching. I had this dream 3 times in a row in one night. Each time I woke up but the last one I actually got up out of the bed. After praying about it I went back to bed. I was able to sleep peacefully after that. I have never had a dream like this before. how ever i have had other dreams/visions before about the end of times n spiritual ones as well. Could you please help me figure this one out?

My experience is on the run after sexually assaulting and strangling my 10 year old. He had a very volitle nature. I dreamt that I was somewhere and was at someone’s apartment at a party… They ended up running off with my 12 year old son to the woods where we were attacked… All of a sudden my son wasn’t around but I was on the ground trying to fight them off. I didn’t wake up until then. They were trying to hold my legs down.. Maybe three fully grown men.
It was supposed to say my ex is on the run not my experience

You may find this odd, but just four days ago, I had a dream that I have no fond memory of but I woke up and I couldn’t move. I saw my ex boyfriends face , he was on top of me and he was choking me. Mind you “ I woke up from the DREAM. I woke up from whatever dream I was having and saw his face. The next night I didn’t sleep at all. I was up a whole 24 hours before I slept again.

I’ve been having this recurring dream about a computer game created to make me do bad things. However, I can’t remember the specific things. Although, last night I dreamt that I found the person who created it – a close friend of mine (and my prom date). I’m in secondary school but I dreamt that he was chasing me around my primary school and I found the room where he was storing the original game. I tried to shut it down and he burst through the door and began to strangle me. This guy is very close to me and seeing him that angry (it was very realistic) has scared me a little. Any advice? or perhaps an explanation, please???
