Talking is a common action in dreams. Some dreams are basically just conversation, the brain spitting out memories from the day or communication among various parts of yourself. Your body can talk with your mind. Your head can talk with your heart. The components of your psyche talk among themselves, taking form as dream characters and other symbols such as talking animals, or just as voices. Yup, the voices in your head can be completely normal. Talking to people you know in a dream can reflect your conversation from the day—it’s basically just memories—but it can be a way of articulating something you are not articulating consciously, or continuing the conversation, specifically the train of thoughts. It can be a way of connecting with the emotions felt in response to what you said and heard. For example, a woman dreams about talking to friends about her deepest personal thoughts, reflecting the discussions she has been having with them. But then she has sex with them and wakes up feeling as if she’s cheated on her boyfriend. It feels like cheating, in a sense, because she has not been talking about those same deep thoughts with him. Conversations in dreams can be used to admit something to yourself, too. Don’t be surprised if what you hear is shocking or discomfiting. Conversations with important figures such as leaders and celebrities can be a way of getting your attention and communicating something important. Dreams of talking with holy figures and higher powers can serve the same purpose. See: Famousness Symbolism can be built around associations with talking, such as openness and guardedness, glibness and sincerity, social acceptance and isolation, candor and deception, and gossip and rumor. In a conversation with dream characters, or conversations between them, you can see your own tendencies. It’s all you talking something over with yourself. See: Psychologists Trouble with hearing someone talk can mean you aren’t listening, or have trouble understanding something being communicated to you. For example, a man’s dream that his boyfriend is deaf means he thinks his boyfriend doesn’t listen to him. Having trouble hearing what a supervisor says in a dream reflects the dreamer’s confusion over understanding an assignment.
