Stuffing something like a sock or fist into a mouth can symbolize wanting to shut someone up, or saying something that embarrasses yourself. A mouth that’s blocked like that can symbolize the feeling of being prevented from expressing yourself. It can mean you need to watch what you say.
Swallowing something sharp can symbolize holding back something sharp you want to say or express, as in “bite your tongue.” It can symbolize self-criticism.
Bleeding from the mouth can symbolize saying something that embarrasses or harms you.
There are many variations of this theme, and the symbolism often boils down to what you say, want to say, or have said. See: Teeth

I had a disturbing dream that we medically put our child to sleep. (Like an animal)
it wasn’t my decision, I think it was my wife’s. I just remember looking at him and looking at her rubbing his back and saying it will be ok, then the doctor squirting a medicine in his mouth.
It ended there, it feels so wrong to even have the capacity to dream this. He’s 4 years old, a good kid, he’s a little whiny and that’s it. I am having trouble dealing with this. This is my first ever post.

Looking for opinions and thoughts on this Nightmare.
So, I'll describe the dream with the brief details and little narrative that I remember. No matter how strange
So I remember being in some kind of large house which was an orphanage? Or something of the sort, for some reason that old cartoon, fosters home for imaginary friends comes to mind.
I remember a lot of random children being there, I didn't recognise any of them.
I was an authority in this house, as I remember helping some of the kids and they were asking me things etc etc. (only mundane everyday things).
Anyways, a bit 'later' two little girls were starting to complain about a boy, he was a bit older than the both of them. He was abusing them and being really nasty to them.
When I went to confront him I remember catching him trying to bite the arm of the little girl(I'm not sure if he actually managed to take a chunk or not). His mouth was opened extremely wide like a snakes. At which point the dream quickly devolved into a nightmare, I chased off this little boy, but he was suddenly some kind of monster(demon?).
I chased it out of the house that I don't recall the layout of into the back garden which I immediately recognised as my fathers garden. At which point my brother appeared in the upstairs window shouting ''You have to get the 'Gremlin' out!''.
As I was approaching this monster, the little boys face and form were in a constant state of shift. Had black eyes and a cavernous black mouth. Eventually turning into some sort of dog. As I got closer the monster dog was trying to escape, I remember using some sort of superhuman strength to knock something over to block it's path at which point it lunged at me. That's when I woke up.
I was super creeped out for a while after waking up but, I'm not sure what to make of it!
The details I remember most are the black eyes and mouth/weird face on the monster.
Any opinions are welcome!

Made out with crush, he had a snake's forked tongue and upon arousal his mouth produced semen.
As the title says, I made out with a guy I was crushing on, and he had a thin, forked snake's tongue and the more aroused he got, his tongue would release semen, kinda the way your glands release pheromones or a vulva would release fluids, only it was semen, and from his snake-humantongueh while we made out. I had this dream probably three years ago, and it still baffles me. If it's any context, in real life, he was not a good guy for me, and bad news in general, but back then I didn't respect myself very much and would fall for people who were not going to treat me right.. I knew this in the dream as well, but that didn't stop my horny mind, although I do recall feeling conflicted about hooking up with him, as he was kinda scary. His breath, aside from all the semen, smelled horrible and rotten. It was both disgusting and totally hot in the weirdest of ways, hahaha. Why are brains?
Anyone care to try to crack this one?

Had a dream about a woman I’ve never met but feel in love with and can’t stop thinking about
I (29F) usually don’t dream much, but last night I had the most vivid dream that I can’t stop thinking about. I was at a small house party, and I walked into a room and a woman was sitting on the couch. We made eye contact, and she immediately challenged me, something like “I bet you can’t...” but I can’t remember what she said. I sat down next to her, I could smell her, see every detail of her summer dress. We were sitting on one of those big leather chesterfields that sticks to your thighs when it’s hot out. We talked for hours and every time someone would look at us we felt obligated to “straighten up” and look platonic even though we were clearly flirting. At one point I think I put my finger in her mouth, just to see what would happen. I remember us exploring each other in very unconventional ways. Eventually we were asked to go outside to do something for the party, take a group photo or something, and I lost her. She was nowhere to be found. She was very similar looking to me, but had a bit of a kinder face and smaller frame.
What does this mean? Why am I so obsessed with her, even when I’m awake, but I can’t identify her?

I am a deer man. The devil is behind me and stroking my ears.
In my dream, I am part human and part deer. Kind of like an anime in that I am mostly still human, but I had deer ears on top of my head (also human ears, too) and maybe deer nose and eyes.
Behind me is what I assume or interpret as the devil. A man with long horns, but his face looks either goat-like or dragon-like. I recall him having a long neck that looked lizard-like, which went along with the dragon-like appearance. His hands could move and bend like human hands, but they also seemed talon-like. He was taller than me by a foot or two.
He is standing behind me and at first rubs his hands through my hair to make his way to my deer ears, where he strokes them together. I can see all this very clearly as I believe I am looking through a mirror or am seeing this as the spectator but still can feel what he is doing. In truth, having my deer ears stroked feels nice. As I continue to watch and feel him stroking me, I notice he keep nodding his head in agreement. I feel he is answering "yes," but I do not fully recall the question.
As good as this feels, I sense I could be in danger, though I am uncertain if I am or not. The fear alone is enough to cause me to start to wake up.
I am starting to wake up; the end of the dream is a bit unclear... But he tries to say something which I cannot hear. He presents to me a bone, which comes from him. I am uncertain if the bone came from him picking his teeth or picked the bone out of his neck. The bone is either a collarbone, rib bone, or neck bone. As I wake up, I sense a feeling as if he is upset that I am leaving without first accepting his offering.
At this point, I am awake. What do you think of my dream?
