Spiritual Meaning Of Having Trouble Breathing In A Dream

Over the years, many have reported having difficulty breathing while sleeping or dreaming. This occurrence would indeed sound strange to someone who haven't experienced it before, but that doesn't mean it isn't real. To many, it happens frequently. 

Some people have this experience while dreaming, that all of a sudden they begin to experience difficulty breathing. Sometimes, it might seem like they are suffocating in their sleep. 

Having trouble breathing while sleeping can be a physical condition, but in most cases, it is a spiritual one. I'll start by addressing it from a physical standpoint, before progressing into its spiritual perspective. 

A dream of being unable to breathe is not a good omen. People have passed on in their sleep in the course of such dreams. This dream is one of those dreams that pose a serious threat to the life of the one who dreams it. 

The term for when someone experiences difficulty breathing while sleeping is sleep apnea. Sometimes, this experience is also paired with a sense of being paralysed. 

Sleep apnea is the obstruction of airways while a person sleeps, preventing them from breathing properly. Medically, this condition can result from the following:

I got to find out that there is a case of people not being able to breathe properly while sleeping. They often wake up to find themselves struggling to breathe and suffocating. This can easily be diagnosed and treated by medical professionals. 

But there is also another case where a person finds out they're able to breath, walk, run or even move a part of their body in their dreams. In most cases, such dreams are also accompanied by a feeling of being paralysed on their bed. 

This is apparently not a physical condition, but a spiritual issue. The feeling of being paralysed is always caused by a sleep paralysis demon. 

Which means that when people dream and finds themselves unable to breathe in their dreams and feeling like they're about to die, it is often an indication that they're under attack by a sleep paralysis demon. 

This apparently isn't something that should be fixed medically but spiritually. The Bible tells us to submit to God and resist the devil and he'll flee from us (James 4:7).

Understand that you are under spiritual attack. It's no joke and you shouldn't handle it with levity. If you're not a Christian, you should get saved, and start praying to our Lord Jesus Christ to fight for you and get rid of every evil spirit oppressing you. 

If you're a Christian, I believe you already know how to go about warring in the Spirit, rebuking the devil and send packing every evil spirit assigned against you. You are more than conqueror (Romans 8:37).

If you're constantly experiencing such dream attacks, feel free to always visit this site and pray the prayers given below. 

If you're always having trouble breathing properly when you sleep, on one or two occasions, you will likely wake up to notice that your airways seem to be blocked. This is a medical condition known as sleep apnea. You should consult a medical professional or book an appointment with them, to know how to go about fixing this. 

Though sometimes, a simple change in sleeping position may be the right solution to sleep apnea. If you are always sleeping on your back, you should change your sleeping posture and start sleeping by your side.

If you always see dreams where you are unable to breathe, powerless and can't move, this is a spiritual attack often from sleep paralysis demons. You need to draw close to God, start praying and command the demons to leave you alone. 

Sanctify yourself and anoint your apartment against future attacks. Stay prayed up and always pray before you sleep!

God bless you.
