Dream Symbol - Breath

Psychological:

The symbol of life par excellence. 

If you lose your breath, you are paralyzed with fear - if you stop breathing, you are dead. A person's emotional state often has an impact on their breathing rate. Increased breathing rate can be "translated" into a panic attack in a dream, for example. If you are completely out of breath and sink exhausted into your chair, you should slow down the pace of life and take time to "finally breathe deeply". If you breathe underwater, this represents an instinctive return to the womb. 

If you consciously experience the breathing of another person in a dream, this could be an indication that you need that person's compassion and understanding. 

If a dreamer consciously perceives his breathing in a dream, this indicates his deep connection with life. 

Free breathing is considered a symbol of the free development of energy as well as of mental and physical balance. However, if the dreamer has to struggle to breathe or is even in danger of suffocating, this must be seen as a sign of an impairment of personality development. 

If such a dream occurs frequently and triggers strong feelings of fear, this indicates either a physical illness or a mental disorder.

 

Spiritual:

Breath is the symbol of the soul. Breath is the power of the spirit and the life-giving energy.
