Neck
The neck — slender bridge between head and body, where vexed family relations can press — often touches domestic ties strained against worldly concerns. The dream may ask where the connection between your thoughts and your bearing feels exposed, and whether worldly-mindedness is threatening to break the closer bonds of home.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for neck, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream that you see your own neck, foretells that vexatious family relations will interfere with your business.
To admire the neck of another, signifies your worldly mindedness will cause broken domestic ties.
For a woman to dream that her neck is thick, foretells that she will become querulous and something of a shrew if she fails to control her temper.
Fontaine, 1862
If a woman or girl dreams that her neck is large and thick, it is a sure sign she will bear many children: if it seems smaller than usual, it denotes to a married woman a miscarriage, and to a girl the loss of her beau: if a woman dreams that her neck is fair and beautiful, it foretells that some gentleman will make love to her.
