Meaning behind dreams
I have extreamly random dreams sometimes. And there are rarely similarities between them.
But everytime I dream of being in a situation where I yell or scream, my throat closes and very little sound comes our I can't speak at all. Its strange, because I can even feel my thoat closing up and/or the hoarseness of my voice. Even when I was little it's been like that.
I am very curious about if this means something specific or means nothing at all.

No, it doesn't mean anything at all. It just means that your dream is really vivid and you think it is real while your sleeping. Its normal for that to happen. You probably didn't even feel your throat closing up, you just think you have because of the vividness of the dream. Its completely normal to have random dreams/repeat dreams over again. Don't worry! Good Luck!

There are people who enjoy dream interpretation, personally tho, I'm firmly in the scientific camp that dreams have no inherent meaning. They are simply your brains mental exercises while you are asleep. The only meaning they have, is the meaning people choose to assign to them when they are awake.
But it's actually pretty normal to not be able to scream or yell well dreaming. When we enter REM sleep (the time during sleep where we dream) our body triggers something called muscle atonia. Basically, our muscles turn off, to keep us from acting out our dreams - and maybe hurting ourselves well doing it. That deliberate muscle weakness also means we can't scream or yell.
So it sounds like you might be experiencing mild moments of sleep paralysis. That's when you start to wake up during REM sleep, but your muscles remain 'off' for a few moments while you fully wake up (or doze back off). It can be scary, but it's totally normal, and some people just experience more than others.

Oh don't worry about it. Dreams like these are VERY VERY common. Sometimes in the dreams it's almost as if you can feel your surroundings. Don't be alarmed by dreams like this.
When you should worry is if the dreams are most often violent.
Other than that, you're cool.
