Dreaming of Voices

voice, speech · mixed, depending on the tone

Voices in a dream promise reconciliation when they are gentle, and trouble when they are harsh or alarmed.

What happens in the dream

  • Calm, pleasant voices: happy reconciliations
  • Weeping voices: a flash of temper could lead you to hurt a friend
  • Hearing the voice of God: you will reach for higher, selfless principles and earn genuine admiration
  • Shrill or angry voices: disappointments and an awkward situation
  • A parent hearing their child's voice: worries and painful doubts
  • A distressed or warning voice calling you: misfortune for you or someone close
  • Recognizing the voice: often a sign of an accident or illness

How you felt

  • Relief or calm: the dream may reflect a wish to make peace with someone
  • Unease: a voice calling out often stands for an inner alarm you haven't been heeding

Ask yourself

  • What voice, inside me or around me, is trying to be heard?
  • Is there someone I'd like to make up with?
