Body

Mouth

Where words and hunger meet

What it often means

The mouth in dreams symbolises both expression and intake — what you say and what you take in. A closed or hurt mouth often indicates something is being stifled or harmful is being consumed.

When it tends to appear

  • When expression is being suppressed
  • When you are taking in something unhealthy — words, attention, energy
  • During reckonings with appetite, in any direction

Sit with these questions

  1. 1

    What is your mouth saying — or not saying?

  2. 2

    What are you taking in that does not nourish?

  3. 3

    What truth wants to come out of you?
