An interpretation of neck dreams

An interpretation of neck dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. The neck is the connector between the head and body, making it a great symbol for communication between the mind and the body. If you “live in your head” at the expense of connection with your body, you could dream about your head detached from your neck. Or if you’re driven by instinct and don’t listen to your head, you could dream about that idea as a shrunken neck, or inability to pass air through your neck. See: Strangling Because the vocal cords are in the neck, it’s associated with ability to articulate, and in general with articulation and self-expression. Cutting or constricting the neck can symbolize that something isn’t getting through to the head, or a conversation is “cut off.” See: Hanging, Hearing, Knives The thyroid gland is in the neck, along with lymph nodes that help remove toxins from the body. Swollen lymph nodes in the neck are a common sign of illness, so if a dream presents the imagery of a swollen neck, consider the possibility of its warning about illness developing in the body, or an issue with your thyroid. The throat is a vulnerable area of the body, so dreaming about protecting it can symbolize protecting yourself from being vulnerable. It can symbolize a “weak spot” in your character, or be similar to the symbolism of an Achilles heel. Perhaps you aren’t as well protected as you think. Or you are “sticking your neck out.” If you dream about an elongated neck, see: Giraffe. See also: Body parts, Decapitations, Giraffes, Hanging, Heads, Knives, Strangling
