Are the letters or words in your dream intelligible or are they a throwback to a language you once learned or heard or simply don’t understand at all? Some people say such images are evidence of past lives emerging into your dream life but most dream analysts believe they are symbolic representations of parts of yourself that you simply can’t understand or communicate with. Is the sound or the meaning of the word significant? As always it is important to try to decipher the confusing aspects of your dream. You might find that speaking the phrase aloud or sounding the letters after you wake up jogs some unexpected realizations. Sometimes confusing phrases when spoken aloud can suddenly make sense.
If the word you read or hear in your dream is your name, it is likely that your attention is being drawn to the person you are. You may also want to do some research on the true meaning of your name, as some believe it teaches the most important lesson we need to learn in life.
If you are aware of other people’s names in your dreams, you may be aware of the qualities that person has and it is these qualities you need to be looking at.
If you don’t know any person by that name again it might be worth your while considering what the traditional meaning of that name is.
If the name of a place comes up, what are your associations with it? Consider also if there is some word-play on names. [1]
Your mind is in “reading mode” or “busy mode” (such as when you’ve been reading a lot earlier in the day).
Sometimes words show up when you’re dropping off to sleep or waking up that can seem important at the time, although they often have no significant meaning.

If one speaks incomprehensible words in his dream, it means the opposite.
If one sees one of his limbs speaking against him in a dream, it means that someone will report him to the authorities, or become a witness against him in a court ofjustice.
