Dreaming that you can't order at a restaurant - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may be connected to putting your own needs aside while worrying about how even small choices will look to others.
You choose from the menu and try to order, but no sound comes out. You worry about the server asking again or people waiting behind you, so you point to the menu or want to leave.
Korean lore: Traditional interpretations sometimes view choosing food but being unable to speak as not being able to reveal what you want or hesitating over an opportunity. Rather than a dream that determines great fortune or misfortune, it has sometimes been understood as a scene holding the frustration of everyday choices and self-expression. (In folk dream interpretations, food has been read as a metaphor for life's needs and satisfaction, while being unable to order has been read as a state of being unable to express your desires.)
Through the mind: Such a scene may arise when you're adjusting to others even in small choices at work or in a group, such as the menu, schedule, or your role. Your worry that stating what you want might inconvenience others may have appeared in the dream as the absence of your voice.
