links the rational (head) with the physical (body).
dreamer catches someone by the neck (even if it's an animal): the dreamer's will controls the trait linked to the personified individual; it is therefore good when he renders negative personifications*65 (see Shadow archetype) harmless with this act; holding a harmless, free-thinking and independent personification by the neck is an evil act and in committing it the dreamer confirms the negative content of his own consciousness.
dryness in the throat: lack of feeling
an attack to the dreamer's neck: an attempt by the unconscious to separate the rational component (head) from the sensory impulses of the body; this image is very positive for the self-improvement process since it induces initial feelings of the loss of ego thereby preparing the dreamer for a future mystical death*79.
anything hanging from the neck of the dreamer or others: an extra weight that prevents a smooth self-improvement process.
kisses or touches to the neck: if they cause sexual arousal, the dreamer prefers sensuality linked to the body over anything rational, but if they cause resistance, the dreamer prefers the rational over the physical; only the central path – indifference – raises a person's experience to the emotional level.
teeth prepared to bite the neck: sexuality is threatening to disturb the relative balance between reason and sensuality (this is a warning against the complete control of instincts over one's being).
animal neck: links physical sensuality with primitive reason; the longer the animal's neck the greater the dreamer's hope to "disrupt" the destructive instinctual link in the name of an emotional person (see individual animals).
the dreamer sees others held by the neck: a "duel" of personifications of the dreamer's traits reveal his inner tension and imbalance.
worms or other creatures crawling out of the neck: initiated change in the rational understanding of everything physical.
a lump on a man's neck: unconscious demonstration of one's female side.
holding another person around the neck, being held around the neck: the unconscious is emphasizing here the emotional relationship that usually always borders on feelings of ownership of the other person.
