Noose dream meaning is explained below using 16 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Pamela Ball

also see Hanging and Rope

A noose in a dream suggests that we have a fear of being trapped, perhaps by others’ actions. We are aware that we can create a trap for ourselves, thereby ‘putting a noose round our own necks’. Traditionally, a drawing of a hangman’s noose was a threat of death and it can still have that significance in dreams. As always, this death may be of part of our personality.

A noose, like the halter, harness and other symbols of restraint, suggests the taming of something wild. So, for a young man about to be married to dream of a noose might indicate a fear of being restrained unduly For a young woman wishing to leave home, a noose might represent a fear of becoming trapped in the parental home.

A noose can also imply the prevention of self-expression.

At its simplest, the noose represents a traumatic death. In a more complex sense it can represent the binding of spiritual intent, the harnessing of spiritual energy.

Interpretation 3 — Dr. Mıchael Lennox

A noose is a deadly knot that is designed to end a person’s life by cutting off the air supply and also by breaking the neck. Anything that relates to this part of the body is symbolically linked with your relationship with your voice and taking a stand for what you have to say.

A noose in a dream is an indication that there may be some strong consequences for either speaking your truth or being unable to do so.

The context of the dream and your own personal habits may indicate which is the more likely meaning.
