Dreaming of tongue
Read two ways. Let them disagree, the truth often sits between.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Drawn up, it speaks of A nimble, well-formed tongue foretells success in disputes and dealings, the dreamer will persuade where persuasion is needed.
Drawn down, it warns of A tongue bound or too large for the mouth warns of words escaping that should have been kept, slander moving through the household, a secret badly held.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Drawn up, it speaks of The tongue is the bridge between the inner life and the spoken one. A free, working tongue in a dream means something long unsaid is ready to be said, the Self is finding its voice.
Drawn down, it warns of A tongue that is tied, swollen, or cut is truth held in the mouth too long. The persona has been speaking for you, and the part of you that actually has something to say is going quiet.
