Lick – Taste is an important way in which we gather information about the world, and a sense we usually reserve for things that we already know to be safe. Dreaming of licking something is a sign of experimenting or learning about something in a way that is socially inappropriate or perhaps even gross and disgusting. You may be curious about a certain subject and wish to know more about it, but your dream about licking is a sign to pay greater attention to social cues and to observe what seems to be acceptable and what is not when going about your investigation.
