Dreaming that you can’t call for help could represent an area of shame in your life. If you need help, but are unable to call for it in the dream, the reason may be that you are unable to ask for help in that particular situation in your waking life. Examine the situation and look for clues as to why you feel you can’t ask for help. If you feel shame around a certain situation, find ways to reach out to others who have had similar experiences so that you won’t feel so alone. Eventually, the feeling of not being able to ask for help will dissolve. Alternatively, this dream symbol could indicate that there is some situation in your life in which you need help, but can’t get it for some reason.
