Dreaming of choking while drinking water - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may connect to swallowing too many emotions or words at once—more than you can handle.
You gulp water, but it catches in your throat and you feel unable to breathe. It may feel so uncomfortable that you wake up coughing or calling for help.
Korean lore: There is no especially clear traditional interpretation of this scene. Some folk interpretations view being unable to drink as a sign of things not moving smoothly. (In folk dream interpretations, scenes of a blocked throat or being unable to swallow are sometimes understood as metaphors for words and emotions getting stuck.)
Through the mind: You may be holding back something you want to say, or taking in too many demands from work and relationships in a short time. The dream may also have mixed in the sensation of actual throat discomfort or uneven breathing during sleep.
