What Does Jaw Mean in Dreams?

Discover the dream symbol interpretation and spiritual meaning

Western/Modern

The jaw is a very powerful omen relating to how the dreamer digests the contexts of their outside world. Seen as a symbol of inner strength and purpose can emerge both as a negative or positive symbol depending what takes place. Jaws link with communication (mouth) might clench to keep things closed from getting out. Jaws that are dislocated in your dream might have to do with bad speech patterns or issues with their identity.

Jungian

The jaw is the part of the mouth that enables you to chew. As a dream symbol, the jaw can symbolize chewing on difficulty so that you can digest or assimilate its lesson. Often associated with unprocessed or unexpressed anger, the jaw can be a symbol that appears when you need to stand up for yourself. See Anatomy and Body Parts.
