I thought that I would look up the meaning for the symbols in my dream (The entry for that dream follows this one). I did not make up this stuff! I cut it right from a dream interpretation website. It was so fitting of my emotions before I went to bed the night that I had the dream of the choking child.

Children
To see children in your dream, signifies your own childlike qualities or a retreat back to a childlike state. It is an extension of your inner child during a time of innocence, purity, simplicity, and a carefree attitude. You may be longing for the chance to satisfy repressed desires and unfulfilled hopes.
To save a child, signifies your attempts to save a part of yourself from being destroyed.

Puppy
To see a puppy in your dream, symbolizes your playfulness and carefree nature. It also represents a blossoming friendship or that your friendships will grow stronger.

Slime
To see or feel slime in your dream, represents your inability to place your trust in somebody

Choking
To dream that you are choking on an object, suggests that you may find some advice/remarks/situation hard to swallow or difficult to accept. Alternatively, you may feel that you are unable to completely express yourself in a situation.

Another one of my crazy dreams...

I had a bunch of puppies and one of them died. He was limp and slimy looking. I was sad and laid him down. He suddenly came back to life and I was soo happy, but he got up and ran up to a little girl and Im not sure who she was, but he climbed up her and went down her mouth and down her throat and was choking her. She was turning blue and couldnt breathe. I started to do the heimlich maneuver on her and screamed noooo! Then I awoke. The little girl looked like me. I'm not sure if she was me or a daughter. She had very dark hair just like me.
