Dreaming that you cannot pray - dream meaning with inherited lore
Being unable to speak or make a sound when you try to pray may be connected to feeling desperate yet lost about what to do.
You try to begin praying, but your mouth will not open or no words come to mind. Even with your hands clasped, you cannot focus, and surrounding sounds or someone's gaze may keep you from continuing.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreaming that your breathing is blocked has sometimes been interpreted as a feeling of frustration when your hopes are big but things do not go as planned. It may also be seen as meaning that you need time to gain confidence in yourself. (In folk dream interpretations, scenes of being unable to breathe or speak have often been read as anxiety about a wish and obstacles in the heart.)
Through the mind: You may be putting off something you need to say or a decision you need to make, or going through a time when it is hard to trust your own choices. It may also reflect a feeling of being unable to say what you truly want because you are too concerned with other people's expectations.
