Swallowing pins in a dream is the brain’s way of working through the sting of biting words or petty hostilities. The brain uses this imagery to rehearse the sensation of absorbing verbal hostility or small, stinging enmities that cannot be easily expelled. This sorting process occurs when a person is attempting to integrate difficult social interactions into their existing understanding of their environment.
The dreamer experiences a time of holding back against unpleasantness instead of meeting it with an outward reaction. This containment can feel restrictive, as the mind works to neutralize the sting of words that have already been taken in. The presence of such a dream indicates that the psychological impact of these minor conflicts is being managed. The mind finds a way to carry these tensions without letting them break the person.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
