My mom has a strange problem. She feels like someone is trying to choke her in sleep (while dreaming). During that time she will start shouting in sleep and her mouth will be filled with spit. Why exactly is this happening? Please suggest.

Sorry to hear about your mother's difficulties. If the dream content is consistent and it is affecting her and the family psychologically, you must consult psychiatrist who has interest in sleep problems for a detailed assessment and treatment, if required. Best wishes.
