For about a year now I have had this strange dream about once a month or so. The scenario is usually different, but the same thing happens. In the dream I start to cough, and this thick mucous starts coming out. It is so thick I have to pull it out of my throat, and so much of it that I wrap it around my fingers/hand as im pulling it out. Its almost like a wet taffy or something.

In the dream im always panicking thinking omg, somethings really wrong with me, this isnt normal, I have to get to the ER. But I always wake up before I can do anything.

Any idea on what this could mean?

It sounds like there is something bothering you that you want to "get off your chest"

You might want to see a doctor and have your lung/breathing checked out just in case.

Because the scenario is usually different in the various repetitions you have had of this dream but all feature the same activity, it would imply that there is no one place or time for the activity being shown. In other words, this means the dream is indicating that there is simply nothing positive nor appropriate about the activity.

The activity here involves coughing up thick mucus. The mucus, as it is a viscous very watery substance, can simply represent an idea that is overly emotional or possibly imaginative in nature. The mucus appears to be “a bit thick” which implies the idea has been overdone, excessive, has gone beyond the bounds of what is acceptable. This mucus also suggests an idea that can become an impediment to speaking out. It can also become an impediment to breathing, that is, an impediment to taking in God’s higher consciousness and intelligence. You need to cough it up or reject this idea.

Here the idea represented by the thick mucus is not easily rejected but rather only by some act or deed can you free yourself of it. (I wrap it around my fingers/hand as im pulling it out) In this scene this thick mucus is being seen as if a medical problem, that is, as an emotional problem giving you the impression that “something’s really wrong with me” – something that may require some emergency help. Yet seeking such help seems to belong only to your Dream World thinking. This means that only perhaps on a subconscious level does this thought come to you. Note how you always wake up before you can get to the ER.

What idea does the mucus actually represent? We do have an expression – “to cough it up” usually meaning (1) to hand over or relinquish (money or another possession), often reluctantly or (2) To confess or disclose. Do you possibly count on being able to hand over money etc.? This can be suggested by wrapping the mucus around your fingers. Note also the association of the thick mucus with a wet taffy. Could being able to cough it up come up as a sweet or very nice idea to you. The “wet” taffy would imply this kind of sweetness, goodness or niceness is overly emotionally influenced thus resulting in an emotional problem.

Note that any emotional problem not corrected can eventually lead to a physical health problem.

I've had that same dream more than once...where I'm either pulling thick mucus from my nose or throat..and it's like taffy...

AinWonderland, without knowing anything more about you, I would interpret the dream the same way that I did for Mimerz423. I could do a better job if you could tell me about any issues in your life you are dealing with or any changes you are going through.
