Dreaming that your mouth is sealed shut - dream meaning with inherited lore

Your lips will not part, as if they are stuck together or sealed with tape. Even when you try to pull them apart or force them to move, no sound comes out, and you may feel your whole body stiffen.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of being unable to open your mouth have sometimes been interpreted as situations where you keep a secret or hold back your words. They may also represent feeling restricted because you are overly concerned with how others see you. (In folk dream interpretations, being unable to open your mouth or speak has often been read as a scene symbolizing secrets, silence, and restrictions in relationships.)

Through the mind: You may know there is a problem at work or in your family but hold back because you worry that stepping in will only make things uncomfortable. When a relationship or situation makes you feel unable to control your own choices, it may also appear in dreams through this kind of bodily sensation.
