Take a look at who or what is suffocating you. Remember that people in our dreams ofen symbolize someone else or parts of ourselves. If it's not a person, the symbol will indicate the pepetrator. A partner, boss or rival may be overbearing and attempting to stifle your emotional or spiritual growth or psychological development. Reflect upon whether this can be addressed or if you should withdraw from the relationship.
If you dream of drowning, you may be feeling suffocated by your own emotions or by overwhelming situations in waking life.
If the feeling of someone exerting pressure on your chest and neck feels quite real, you may have had an encounter with a sleep disorder called Sleep Paralysis.
May all your dreams come true!
