Tongue
A tongue — the instrument of speech, for good or harm — often touches being looked on with disfavour if you see your own, and scandal if you see another's. The dream may ask where words are shaping how you're regarded, and whether carelessness in what you say is about to get you into a trouble a guarded tongue would have spared.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for tongue, 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 seeing your own tongue, denotes that you will be looked upon with disfavor by your acquaintances.
To see the tongue of another, foretells that scandal will villify you.
To dream that your tongue is affected in any way, denotes that your carelessness in talking will get you into trouble.
Fontaine, 1862
If a lady dreams of having a sore on her tongue, it is a sign that she has uttered a slander.
