Everyday Material Aspects:
You’re hungry or sexual. Whether you are speaking with a “forked tongue,” lying, “tongue in cheek,” joking, a “silver tongue” charming, or giving someone a “tongue-lashing” criticizing, you’re focusing on how you communicate and use speech. A wagging, loose tongue means you’re gossiping, talking too much, or being talked about.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
Having to bite or hold your tongue means you feel silenced, judged, and limited in your self-expression. Ripping someone’s tongue out means you are extremely angry with something the person has said.

Spiritual Meaning:
Having your tongue cut out indicates you need to be silent and listen, watch what thoughts you’ve been voicing, and find new ways to express yourself.

Tongue – the tongue in dreams often signifies our ability to know when to speak and when to remain silent. It may also be to do with our own understanding of information that we wish to pass on to other people. We may have deeply felt beliefs we wish to share. Another explanation that is much more basic is that of the symbolism of the serpent and the phallus, and hence sexuality.
