Bronchitis

Bronchitis in a dream — the breath labouring, the chest congested — often marks being held back from one's plans by unfortunate circumstance. The dream tends to touch the felt obstruction of what should flow freely, and to ask where we feel we cannot catch our breath, and what is keeping us from moving forward.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
