It was a short dream. I suddenly had the physical feeling that I had lost my voice. There was no word coming out of me and I almost panicked. But I was wrong, my voice was strong like always. I was very concious about how dreadful it must be to loose one's voice for ever. Thank you, Iris

iris,
Losing your voice in a dream often represents a feeling of not being able to express yourself. But since in your dream you realize you do have a strong voice, that may indicate although you have not expressed yourself {or your emotions} in the past, you have the will and power to express as you should in the future. This probably has to do with your last posted dream, finally realizing you should voice your emotions in times of changes in your life.

Perhaps Helen Reddy's directive fits here:
I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar.

This is one of my most favorite songs. Every woman should have the lyrics near by so to remind them of the power of the feminine. And the suffering women have endured in the servitude of man.

I am woman, hear me roar In numbers too big to ignore And I know too much to go back an' pretend 'cause I've heard it all before And I've been down there on the floor No one's ever gonna keep me down again CHORUS Oh yes I am wise But it's wisdom born of pain Yes, I've paid the price But look how much I gained If I have to, I can do anything I am strong (strong) I am invincible (invincible) I am woman You can bend but never break me 'cause it only serves to make me More determined to achieve my final goal And I come back even stronger Not a novice any longer 'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul CHORUS I am woman watch me grow See me standing toe to toe As I spread my lovin' arms across the land But I'm still an embryo With a long long way to go Until I make my brother understand Oh yes I am wise But it's wisdom born of pain Yes, I've paid the price But look how much I gained If I have to I can face anything I am strong (strong) I am invincible (invincible) I am woman Oh, I am woman I am invincible I am strong FADE I am woman I am invincible I am strong I am woman

Thanks Gerard, the song (the lyrics) appeals to me very much. I'm actually a strong woman, but in times like this, I can get so stressed out - so I forget to express my needs. I needed a reminder. Iris
