Suffocation
(Strangulation) Suffocating in a dream means that one has taken
upon himself a responsibility greater than what he can handle, or that he is
intimidated into accepting a heavy responsibility, or that he abused a trust or
a leadership position. If his suffocation is caused by an illness in the dream, then
it represents a chastisement for a sin or an injustice he has committed. If his
suffering increases to near strangulation and death in the dream, it means that
he is required to repay all the benefits he drew from holding such trust. If he
dies in his dream as a consequence of his suffocation, it means that he will lose
his battle with the owner and become poor. If he comes back to life after dying
in the dream, it means that in a while, God Almighty will reinstate him in his
position after his trying experience. He also may regain power and bring his
opponents to justice. (Also see Strangulation)

Collarband
(Collar; Neckband; Neckwear) In a dream, a collarband represents
the pleasure and pride of a mother or a wife to see her sons or daughter having
a jewelry business. If an unmarried woman sees herself in a dream wearing a
neckband, a necklace or a collarband made from pearls, peridot or chrysolite,
it means that she will marry a noble and a high ranking man, beget children
from him and find her ultimate pleasure and love in such a marriage. If the
collarband is made from alum, then it means marrying a young eastern man.
If the collarband is made from beads in the dream, it means that her husband
is a mean and a contemptible person. If a man sees himself wearing a collarband
in a dream, it means suffocation, distress or a quarrel. (Also see Neckband;
Necklace)

Snake charmer
(Diphtheria; Quinsy; Tracer; Tracker) A snake charmer in a
dream represents mixing with evil people, participating in a competition, or
racing against one’s enemy. If a sick person sees himself sitting with his snakes
in a dream, it means that he will recover from his illness and live a long and a
happy life. If the basket carries silkworms instead of a snake in his dream, it
means repentance of a sinner, or prosperity of a poor person, or it could mean
changing a bad profession for a good one. The presence of a snake charmer in
a dream also represents the presence of a deceiver, any taunting profession, or
it could mean an illness or suffocation. (Also see Tracker)
