What Does Mouth Mean in Dreams?

Discover the dream symbol interpretation and spiritual meaning

Western/Modern

Dreams like this might have to do with how you communicate, how we express our emotions and expression. Negative dreams about the mouth when you have stuff in your mouth, pulling things out of your mouth, or sewn shut represents toxic behaviors. A lot of these issues remain unconscious so the dream is informing you to pay attention to your words.

Biblical

A mouth symbolizes your speech or your words. A crooked mouth is symbolic of perverse speech, Prov. 8:8. A silver mouth symbolizes a righteous person, Prov.10:20

Jungian

The mouth is associated with communication and the idea of nourishment. If a dream focuses on the mouth, you may be expressing yourself in a way that is not revealing what you really feel, causing a lack of real fulfillment. You may need to recognize the importance of truth in working through an issue. See Anatomy and Body Parts.

Islamic (Ibn Sirin)

In a dream, one’s mouth represents his life from inception to completion. One’s mouth in a dream also represents the course of one’s liveli¬ hood and the source of his strength. Putting medicine in one’s mouth in a dream means correcting one’s life for the better. If one puts food in his mouth in a dream, it means worldly gains and profits, unless one puts something that tastes bad, or which is spoiled, then it means losses, distress and depression. Putting good and tasty food or sweets in one’s mouth in a dream means living a happy and a rich life. If one’s mouth is buckled in a dream, it means death, sickness, dumbness, silence, helplessness, or defeat. If one’s mouth looks larger than usual in the dream, it denotes growth and greater benefits, but if one’s mouth looks smaller in the dream, then it means the opposite. If one’s mouth smells good in the dream, it means speaking good words. Infection of one’s mouth in a dream means a disaster or business losses. If something nice comes out of one’s mouth in a dream, it means kindness toward others. If one sees his mouth sealed in a dream and did not know who did it, it means a scandal or defamation. In a dream, one’s mouth is interpreted in seven ways: It could mean knowledge, a coffer, a cellar, a bookcase, a market, a doorman, a minister, or a door. If a pious person sees a harness around his mouth in a dream, it means fasting from food. If an impious person sees that, it means rebuke and repri¬ mand.
