Dream symbol Not being able to scream


Association

frog swallowed, failure of voice, silent cry for help, paralysis, fainting, helplessness







For infants, the ability to cry out, since they have no other choice of communication, is an important aspect of communicating their needs to the world. Adults, on the other hand, would have other options to choose from, but often make use of this variant out of desperation, anger, frustration, and rage, which is a true "cry for help." Uncontrollable pain or, conversely, out of joy, someone can be tempted to a loud outcry. In anxiety-provoking situations, where panic spreads, one's voice may fail. Not being able to scream comes close to the feeling of helplessness, being at the mercy of others, and the fear is thus amplified even more.

If the dreamer cannot shout, the dream revolves around a dangerous situation the person has gotten into. The dreamer has panicked and wants to shout for help or to chase away someone who wants to cause harm or pain. But since no sound comes out of his mouth, this intention is probably doomed. If it is an attempted murder, where the victim cannot scream for help, this idea seems rather terrifying. Helplessness versus feeling of power, depending on the role one plays in the dream, appear as attributes.
