Dreaming of swallowing a cactus thorn - dream meaning with inherited lore

Korean lore: There isn't a well-established folk interpretation specific to swallowing cactus spines. Some interpretations treat the spines as harsh words or something difficult to swallow. (This draws on a common dream-symbol interpretation that compares something caught in your throat or hard to swallow with uncomfortable words and feelings.)
