Dreaming of swallowing smoke - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may connect with putting up with an uncomfortable situation or swallowing words you want to say.
Smoke enters your mouth and you swallow it without realizing. It may catch in your throat or leave a stale taste.
Korean lore: Inhaling smoke has sometimes been read as taking worries or an uneasy feeling inside. There isn’t a clear traditional reading of the act of swallowing itself, so you could consider whether you’re forcing yourself to swallow something that’s been weighing on you. (This draws on common folk readings that see smoke as an image of worry and taking it into the body as accepting a burden.)
Through the mind: Dreams like this can come when someone says something hurtful and you can’t respond, or when you’re swallowing your upset alone. Think back to whether anything has happened lately that you had to put up with.
