The tongue is indicative of a child, father, relative, friend, high status, earnings and worship. Whatever is seen in it of good or evil refers to that which is indicated. If it is cut off, turns black, becomes dysfunctional or develops a problem, his worship will cease, or he will be separated from his child, father, friend, teacher or someone who is beneficial for him, or he will lose his status and livelihood, or he will be defeated in his dispute, or he may get some gift.
We used to narrate that al-Hajjaaj said: Cut off her tongue, meaning Layla al-Akhyaliyyah,and they understood it as meaning that he wanted to cut out her tongue physically and she said: All that he meant was to cut off my tongue by being kind to me. All of that depends on the situation of the dreamer.
If he dreams that his tongue is long or wide when trying to establish an argument, that is indicative of winning and power.A man said: I dreamt that I went through a man’s mouth and ate his tongue.
Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said to him: You stole scales or a book and consumed its price. Another man dreamt that and he said: You stole a bird that speaks.Another man said: I dreamt that a tongue bothered me. He said:You are thinking of words that were said to you.
Another man said something similar and he said: An animal bit you. He said to another man: You will be pecked by a bird that sounds like a rooster.
Another man said: I dreamt that I was making tongues for people.He said: You make small boats. He said to another man: You make scale. And he said to another man: You teach people about Hajj.
Another man said: I dreamt that I was extracting sweet water from tongues and the people were benefiting from it. He said: You makerosewater.Another man said: I dreamt that I came to people’s mouths and tried to take their tongues.
He said: You are a snake charmer and you look for snakes in their places.
And it was all as he said.Whoever dreams that he has two tongues will acquire more knowledge.
