Whispering
Whispering is an unvoiced mode of phonation in which the vocal cords do not vibrate normally, but are instead adducted just sufficiently to create audible frication as the speaker exhales during speech. Other aspects of vocal articulation remain the same as in normal speech. A combination of whispering and voiced speech is called breathy voice or murmuring.

To dream of whispering, denotes that you will be disturbed by the evil gossiping of people near you.
