Certainly your hopes and dreams are at play, and that sounds like a positive development in your life. I notice a couple other things about the dream. One is that you are with your husband until the moment you enter the room with the choking woman, and then he is gone. So this suggests that the dream has something to do with your own life independently of him. Second, she is choking for lack of air, can't breath. People sometimes talk about "breathing room" or "breathing space" in a relationship.
