Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. Your mother had lock jaw and then you have developed fear and this causes constant dreams that your jaws got locked up. This is nothing but severe anxiety (anticipatory) and there is no need to fear. Slight pressure in nostrils and head is also probably due to this anxiety. Try to relax yourself and reassure yourself. Even if your mother had lock jaw this doesnt mean that you would have lock jaw. Relaxation exercises, yoga will help you to come out of this condition.

If symptoms persist then visit a psychiatrist for treatment. Mild doses of anti anxiety drugs would help you in reducing this anxiety and you will feel better.

Thanks, I hope this helps you. Take care

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Dreaming that you have lockjaw, signifies there is trouble ahead for you, as some person is going to betray your confidence. For a woman to see others with lockjaw, foretells her friends will unconsciously detract from her happiness by assigning her unpleasant tasks. This is what dream analysis explains. I will be able to tell you more if you give me your past.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
