Speech as voluntary act — choosing the words you actually use.
How sharp changes the reading
The base reading of Tongue
A tongue in a dream is the dictionary's image of speech as a voluntary act. A tongue tied is the dream's clearest image of a sentence that has been forming in you and refusing to come out. A tongue moving freely in the dream is the dictionary's image of fluency in a conversation that used to be hard.
Where you often see it. The tongue stuck in the dream. A tongue speaking on its own. Words tasted before they are spoken. The dream uses the tongue for speech as voluntary act — choosing the words you actually use.
What it is not. The tongue is not always about literal speech. The reading is about agency over what you say.
