The most common use of hanging symbolism, as in hanging from a rope, is to symbolize when something isn’t getting through to the head. Hanging cuts off blood circulation to the head and airflow, and dreams can use it as symbolism for when someone doesn’t want to listen or think about something, or isn’t getting the message. For example, a young man dreams that his mom hangs herself in the basement, symbolizing that he is secretly doing something illegal that he knows she disagrees with but he’s doing it anyway. The message isn’t getting through to his head. The tricky part to understanding dream imagery like this is to recognize that the imagery of mom hanging is related to the dreamer, not to her. Mom is a projection, not a direct representation of the actual person. She is not the one about to throw her life. The next scene of the dream gives away the meaning. After the dreamer sees his mom hanging, he runs away to get help, and when he comes back she’s not hanging. She’s standing and fine, showing that the dream is not about her, it’s about him. Hanging by the neck can symbolize a blockage between the desires of the head and heart, or ignoring signals from the body, or wishing to ignore something. Hanging can mean “hanging by a thread.” A situation is precarious or difficult. You are barely holding on. For example, you are close to failing a class, or a relationship is close to ending. See: Cliffs Also consider the idea of being “left hanging.” For example, you send an email or text message to someone and don’t get a reply. Or you’re at a meeting and expect support from someone but she doesn’t give it. A noose in a dream can symbolize constriction, such as when a situation feels constricting, your options are limited, or a deadline looms. See: Strangling When associated with death, a noose can symbolize “rope to hang yourself with,” meaning a big screw-up. When associated with execution, a noose can symbolize the end of something or fear of consequence. Death in dreams has associations with major changes in a person or his life. Suicide in dreams can symbolize the idea in the phrase “kill your chances.” Dreams can use the imagery of hanging to symbolize a physical condition such as your airway being blocked as you sleep.
