Swallowing

When swallowing is a subject of a dream, you may be finding something 'is hard to swallow' or emotions can be stuck in your 'throat,' meaning that you have difficulty in expressing them. An aspect of the situation remains 'undigested' as you continue to process it. Swallowing a type of food symbolizes accepting and integrating what that food represents. See Food.

To swallow something one is chewing in a dream means debts, or collectors demanding their money. To swallow dust or sand in a dream means poverty, giving someone a warning look, greed, or it could mean bribing someone in authority.
