Tongue

Tongues, Sticking out your tongue

Your tongue shapes every word you say and every flavor you taste, but in dreams it mostly comes down to speech. What did you say, or not say, recently? Biting your tongue in the dream means you're holding back a comment, wisely or not. A tongue that feels too big or tied in knots reflects a fear of saying something wrong. Sticking out your tongue is playful or cheeky, a sign that you'd like to drop the polite act for a while.
