Dreaming About Tongue
What it means
The tongue in a dream often points to speech and truth — the words you are speaking, the ones you are holding back, and the power of what you say.
In more detail
A tied or injured tongue can mirror feeling silenced or struggling to express something; a sharp one, words that wound or that you regret. The dream often asks you to notice the weight of your words and where your honest voice wants to come through.
