Dreaming that you can’t answer in class - dream meaning with inherited lore

In a classroom or tutoring center, the teacher asks a question and you’re supposed to answer, but no voice comes out. Even though you raised your hand or seem to know the answer, your mouth freezes and your face grows hot.
