Breath
Breath in dreams often speaks to vitality, communication, and the quality of exchange between yourself and others—what you take in, what you give out. When breath feels labored or absent, perhaps the dream asks: where in waking life does expression feel blocked, or connection feel strained?

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for breath, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To come close to a person in your dreaming with a pure and sweet breath, commendable will be your conduct, and a profitable consummation of business deals will follow.
Breath if fetid, indicates sickness and snares.
Losing one's breath, denotes signal failure where success seemed assured.
