Dream about a swollen tongue

A swollen tongue shows where your words have grown too large for the mouth that holds them. This dream speaks of a speech that has lost its way, becoming a thing that moves without the guidance of the heart. When a person lets their words overflow, they often find that what they have said creates a weight that the whole household must carry.

The elders say that when a tongue becomes too much for its place, the harmony of the gathering is broken. You may find that the things you have spoken have moved faster than your intention, leaving a trail of confusion among those you love. This dream is a sign that the words you hold are now causing a separation between you and your own. A silence is often the only way to mend what an unrestrained voice has torn. The peace of the house is found when the spoken word is measured and true.

A bleeding tongue shows that your words have struck a wound that you must now live with. It reveals that the things you have said have left you to sit in a silence born of your own regret.

The way the tongue is splitting or peeling changes the verdict from a warning of excess to a sign of a loss of power. In these dreams, the ability to speak your truth is being stripped away, leaving you unable to defend your place or hold your ground among your people, child.
