Dream: You are speaking quite normally to some friends or colleagues when you suddenly realize that your mouth is full of something sharp, like fragments of glass or razorblades. Although you try to talk quite carefully, you cut the inside of your mouth every time you speak. Blood starts to pour from your mouth and as it runs down your face, you are worried that you might swallow some of these sharp fragments. You may also be anxious that you might choke on your blood. A variation of this dream is that your mouth is full of stinging insects, such as wasps or hornets.
Meaning: If you dream about chewing glass or having a sharp object in your mouth, then you are thinking about how pointedly you sometimes communicate with other people in your waking life. In addition to your teeth, your mouth mainly consists of the soft flesh and tissue that you use to shape and express your words. Your mouth is one of the most sensitive areas of your body, so it can be a shock to realize that there is unexpected sharpness inside it. The splinters and shards, however, aren’t glass but the unanticipated sharp words and pointed remarks that you often find passing through your mouth. They may seem to be just words but they are often heard as cutting remarks and can be quite wounding for others. You may resort to using your sharp tongue when you feel threatened by other people and are trying to defend your position. Even though you try to choose your words carefully, you can still end up hurting the other people’s feelings and your barbed remarks can also wound and upset you, too. Your blood represents your deepest feelings and, although you are trying to contain them and choke them back, they keep spilling out for everyone to see. You may also be worried about your pride being wounded if you are forced to eat your words. Wasps or hornets in your mouth show similar concerns about making too many stinging remarks to other people.
Action: This dream is suggesting that you should perhaps keep your razor-like wit in check by taking a more gentle approach and accepting your vulnerabilities. Rather than feeling that you have to constantly defend your position by attacking others, try using softer words to move on from the disagreements in which you are currently involved. Maintaining an unnecessary stance can be stressful and, if you continue to present a tough, hard exterior, you will just end up shattering your fragile confidence. The right words, spoken softly, are far more powerful and inspiring than any amount of sharp criticism.
Background: Much of the language that we use to describe insults and arguments is based on metaphors of wounding and cutting. Before we had tools, our most basic method of cutting was by using our mouths and this is also the body part we use to shape and speak our words. In our contemporary culture, using our mouth continues to be one of the main ways we defend ourselves and attack others. Instead of physically biting and wounding our adversaries, however, we now use our words to pierce the defences of those people who seem to threaten us.
