Unable to scream

Can't scream, Losing your voice in a dream, Trying to shout

You open your mouth to shout and nothing comes out. Few dream moments are as frustrating, and this one usually ties in with waking situations where you feel unheard or held back. Maybe you've swallowed an opinion at work, or a worry at home keeps getting brushed aside. The dream doesn't say you're powerless; it marks the place where your voice wants more room. Ask yourself who you were trying to call, or what you were trying to warn someone about.
