Hi Marlene,
Dreams often refer to what has been going on (consciously and unconsciously) in the day or two prior.
At the start of your dream you are in a hotel. Unless you have any personal associations to hotels, this may symbolise a temporary situation, just as we stay at or visit hotels for a short time only.
The strangulation suggests that you were feeling unable to express yourself clearly - severely so. Who, or what, at the time of this dream, did you feel 'strangled' by? Which situation left you feeling as if you did not express yourself, or feeling that you had held back?
The theme of having your personal territory/ space intruded upon is shown in the dream by the man knocking at your door and pestering you. What, at the time of the dream, would you say left you feeling pestered or intruded upon?
The red cord may draw attention to red: red as in anger, danger ... vitality .. the basics of life?
Your sister was not aware of what was happening. What are the main similarlities and differences between you and your sister? How would she deal with being pestered?
These are beginning questions .... to help you work towards understanding your dream.
The dream is not about your sister, or about the man, but about you and your feelings and beliefs. Getting to the bottom of your dream arms you with the information you need to see where you are coming from more clearly and this -in turn - empowers you,
Hope this helps. Please reply here so we all get to see how you feel about this.
