If the dreamer sees himself/herself being suffocated during the dream, it’s an omen for diverse contrarieties, impediments and tiredness for having had a difficult struggle without obtaining any valuable result. It’s a warning about being under too much pressure from our opponents. Seeing another person being suffocated means that you’ll beat the difficulties and that you’ll have authority and complete control over your enemies. Suffocating a fire during a dream implies that we’re already tired, disenchanted and we lack the necessary strength to keep fighting.

…Diving easily without fatigue portends that we will achieve both economic and loving success. If we suffocate, it tells us that our ambitions will vanish. If we save someone from drowning it means that we will avoid a dangerous passion for us. If we’re learning to dive, we doubt our will. Diving in clear water means that we are clear and noble. Swimming in shady water means passion with evil thoughts. If we’re diving and the sea or river infuriates and becomes stormy, then it shows that our passions are stronger than our will….
