Dreaming of Being Mute
being mute · mostly negative, with one happy exception
Being unable to speak reflects trouble persuading others and warns of worries or false friends, unless a mute person starts to speak.
What happens in the dream
- You're mute: you can't persuade others or win them to your way of thinking
- A friend who couldn't speak suddenly talks: joy at some happy event, the one good omen
- You or a friend lose the power of speech: illness or misfortune
- By another reading: false friends
How you felt
- Frustration: the dream often reflects a feeling of not being heard
- Helplessness: perhaps words you don't dare say
Ask yourself
- What can't I bring myself to say?
- Where do I feel unheard?
