Efua NyansaSlitting a throat in a dream names a sudden and total silencing of what is necessary for life to move forward. When the way one speaks or the way one is fed is cut off, the ties that bind a person to their kin and their history are severed. We have seen that when a voice is taken, the ability to share the bread of truth or the salt of wisdom vanishes from the hearth.
This dream shows a breaking of the connection between what is felt and what can be shared with the world. To lose your speech in this way is to lose the strength to testify for your own people. It is a heavy thing to find that the words which should have protected the household are no longer available. If you feel this silence, child, it is because the bridge between your inner truth and your outer life has been struck down. May your voice find its way back to the center of the circle.
The dream changes its weight when you see someone slitting their own throat, because here the silence is a thing you are doing to yourself. You are the one cutting off your own sustenance and your own right to be heard, often by refusing to speak even when the truth is required.
For its more general meaning: Dream about a throat
Efua NyansaInterpreter interprets your dreams
Sit down first, child. The dream is not going anywhere. The elders used to say that a person is never read alone. Whoever stood beside you in the dream matters as much as what you saw, and the path behind you matters as much as the one ahead. Look, a dream with your people in it has already done half its work. May the name you were given keep you well.
