I used to be into this stuff and am a Jungian phreak!
Forget the phallic trash talk.
The planes almost certainly DO represent some life path you are failing to follow. I would suggest look back to just before they started and see what sort of things you were interested in that you dropped... ('prolly due to peer/parental pressure). Investigate those forgotten directions in your life.
Then the stuff you are "swallowing": you are being choked by the things these images represent. They are "jumping down your throat" they are being "SHOVED" down by your environment.
You clearly do NOT want these things the symbols represent, at least not the way you get them now. They symbolize stuff in your life that seems to be overpowering you... your panic is a clear signal that these things are on the verge of overwhelming you. Find the stuff in your life that you hate, but have buckled under and do anyway and see if you can't defuse the danger they represent to your deeper mind.
Ask your dreams to HELP you find out what they mean! Before you go to sleep, talk to yourself and ask your inner being to help you figure out what is going on. Start keeping a notebook next to your bed and promise yourself you will write down what you dream about.
And do NOT be afraid of your inner stuff!! It's just trying to tell you something you are ignoring that would really make your life better.
Good Luck!!
