Neck / shoulder Dream Meanings

To see your own or another person’s neck in your dream signifies your need to control your feelings and keep them in check. Consider the familiar phrase, ‘don’t stick your neck out’, which serves as a warning against a situation.

If your neck is injured, this can indicate a separation between heart and mind.

If your neck is thick, perhaps you have been quick-tempered recently. Consider also the following idioms: breaking one’s neck, up to one’s neck, stick one’s neck out, dead from the neck up / down. Shoulders in a dream suggest strength, responsibility and burdens. Do you feel that you have much responsibility to bear in waking life? On the other hand, shoulders can also represent support and your ability to soothe others, as in the phrase ‘a shoulder to cry on’. To see your throat in your dream symbolizes the ability to express yourself and communicate your thoughts and ideas.

If your throat is sore, perhaps you are having problems expressing yourself. Alternatively, you may need to swallow your pride.

If a graceful, long neck appears in your dream, this suggests good fortune in waking life.
