Lockjaw
Lockjaw — the jaw clenched shut, unable to speak or eat — often touches a betrayal of confidence and the dread of being silenced when you most need to act. The dream may ask whose trust you fear losing, and where something is seizing up that should move freely.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for lockjaw, 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 that you have lockjaw, signifies there is trouble ahead for you, as some person is going to betray your confidence. For a woman to see others with lockjaw, foretells her friends will unconsciously detract from her happiness by assigning her unpleasant tasks. If stock have it, you will lose a friend.
