Dumb
Being struck dumb often touches the inability to make yourself understood — words failing where you most need to persuade. The dream may ask where you can't get others to hear your view or sway them to your side, what false friendships the silence reveals, and whether your voice is being lost or simply not yet found for the moment.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for dumb, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of being dumb, indicates your inability to persuade others into your mode of thinking, and using them for your profit by your glibness of tongue. To the dumb, it denotes false friends.
Fontaine, 1862
If you dream that you are dumb, or that any of your speaking friends are so afflicted, it foretells sickness or misfortune. But should you dream that a deaf mute of your acquaintance speaks, it foretells joy and gladness at something that will happen.
