Spiritual Meanings Of Screaming In A Dream:
It is an emotional release
“Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” — Luke 6:45
The silent scream is a way of letting out all the pain that I have inside me.
My dreams tend to be the kind of arena where my brain brings all my feelings out about any unresolved conflicts.
That is always a sign that some bubbles of emotional energy are buried waaaay down deep in my subconscious.
Spiritually, this silent scream is all the fears and frustration I have kept locked up in me from day to day.
I want to give voice, but my soul cries out for expression.
So that dream is not just some weird thing, it has a message for me because there are certain points I need to listen about.
For someone like me, who finds it hard to convey how they feel when awake, this is especially important. My throat chakra is blocked.
They whisper from the stillness of my soul.
On a spiritual level, it is my sign that I must allow the voice of my soul to come through in all its might.
Perhaps my silent scream is also my way of communicating I am powerless or that i’m angry and no one listens to me.
This dream is encouraging me to create space for expression verbally if necessary.
It is about fear
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love…” — 2 Timothy 1:7
When I scream in my dream, that means fear is lurking deep within my subconscious.
Those fears might be stemming from past hurts, present worries or unresolved difficult emotions.
In spiritual terms, fear is a block to my evolution.
Specifically, it is the one that lowers my vibrations and holds me in lower vibrational states.
In my dreams, it’s like all the screams that never left are finally coming to push out.
In my dreams, screaming is a release.
It seems like so much of my spiritual journey involves finding ways to dismantle the fear.
It is about loneliness
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
In my dream, a scream can be just as easily an SOS, calling out for another to save me or simply understand.
This scream reveals to me spiritually that I feel a sense of contingent loneliness.
That is my soul saying I want fellowship, something more transactional with others or the divine.
As a ‘seeker,’ spiritual loneliness is something I have felt like an indelible marker pen on my soul.
The more I internalize, the more distant from reality and the people around me.
At this point, the isolation is so significant that it ties right into a feeling of futility, where I have absolutely no hope left, and there is nothing more to do.
This results, in most cases, an actual screaming dream.
But instead of a cry to the abyss, it is more like a trumpet call.
It makes me feel connected to others walking this path with real spiritual guides, mentors and communities that are forming around it.
It is about awakening
“Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light.” — Ephesians 5:14
If I scream in a dream, I know it is a catalyst for my spiritual development.
This is a high water mark of emotional catharsis, potential realizations and awakenings.
When I scream, it is an explosion.
It is a slap in the face that makes me aware of a great need for something to alter.
This is my soul breaking free from the old version of myself that no longer supports where I am headed.
Screaming in a dream is part of the process and especially crucial at this time, for it allows me to RELEASE old layers.
It is about unfulfilled desires
“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.” — Proverbs 13:12
Desires gone unsatisfied are energies that can show up in my dreams as screams.
The subconscious keeps a record of unfulfilled desires and when those emotions are not allowed to be acknowledged somewhere along the way.
If I hear myself screaming in a dream, it may also mean that things are going on within my waking life where I feel like I am not getting what I need.
The scream is a sign that these are the areas I need to work on.
At a deeper level, spiritually unmet desires pretty much always relate to my soul.
And when I disregard or repress these desires, they can turn into feelings of frustration, anger or a great anguish, and such might come out as the scream in my dream.
It is about the pain
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3
Dreams are a sort of sanctuary or safe space where aspects of my soul can grow and spill forth emotional hurt.
Screaming in a dream is one of the most powerful ways this finds expression.
Healing is paramount in my spiritual quest. And I have scars you cannot see from past sufferings, traumas and losses.
These scars can be a burden holding me back from truly experiencing life and the higher calling that my soul is meant to fulfill.
The scream in my dream is something that showed me even more for how far I could release this pain from my soul, and get rid of the negative energy that has been preventing—myself—from moving on.
This purging process isn’t always delicate.
It can be heightened emotions, in the dream and when you wake up. But this is something that, however difficult to read and process it may be, I need as a part of my healing journey so as not to repeat the same mistake another time when, hopefully, someone might approach me for forgiveness.
To my spirit, this scream is nothing more than a purge: an uproar of disappointment that purifies me inside for something new to bloom and evolve. It speaks volumes of me being healed.
It is about the spiritual warrior
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid…” — Deuteronomy 31:6
If I am yelling in the dream, it symbolizes my inner warrior.
This is a sign that I am dealing with some seriously tough sh*t, one way or another, and it will take all my strength and bravery even to just get through this.
In me resides the spiritual warrior, my capacity to face and defeat challenges on the path of illumination.
If I am screaming in my dream, it is a spur of this warrior energy—a sign that asserts my willingness to be faced with the trials and tribulations on which my spiritual progress indeed depends.
This is not a scream of terror but one from power.
For me, being a warrior means acknowledging my strength.
