If we dream that we are cramped in an alley, that we cannot get through, it means that we had to make ends meet. Generally, the dream of being cramped or feeling tight means the same thing financially in reality. However, dreams are influenced by one's state in reality. If you are sick, then this will impact the dream, if you have indigestion or you have eaten something heavy, this will also influence the dream.
And in these cases, the dream of being tight does not have any particular meaning. It's just your bad state that you feel in the dream. But you are in good health and the dream of being cramped occurs, then you must always look at the state of your finances or you are experiencing a great period of stress.
