Lips Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation from 23 unique sources about Lips

Universal Landscape: Control of communication, intimacy.

Dreaming Lens: Were the lips that were prominent in the dream your own or someone else’s? Were they red, or another color? Were they painted with lipstick or other makeup? Were they attractive or grotesque? What were they doing? How do they fit in with the rest of the face? Were they disembodied?

Personal Focus: The lips are the sensuous guardians of the center of communication and intimate exchange. They are the first mechanism of control over what comes into the body with regard to nurturance. They are the last mechanism of control over what goes out from us in terms of communication.

The color of lips can range from blue to red, with the former associated with a lack of warmth, and the latter as filled with life-giving blood and, therefore, passion. When someone’s lips turn blue, they are literally freezing to death, making this a potentially high stakes image. These details should be considered if the color of lips were prominent in the dream imagery. How much control are you exerting over your communication and your willingness to be intimate with others? The color of your dream lips may reveal this.

The essence of this symbol is intimate connection, whether that is to the world through words, or to another person via a kiss. Just as when lips meet in life, there is a mingling of fluids and all that that implies. Lips meeting in a dream can indicate a need or desire to mingle with and absorb another mode of communication. Lips that are too loose can allow communication to flow indiscriminately, whereas those that are pursed too tightly can indicate holding back with restraint. It is your job to decide whether this editing is necessary, or a function of fear and/or resistance. [1]

Vision: Dreaming about red lips means luck in love and friendships. Pale lips mean you have to give up something you love, or that your love for another person is fading. Looking at lips grimly pressed together: other people’s envy and hate is hurting you.

Depth Psychology: Lips in dreams usually stand for erotic desires, but can also be a reference to love, sympathy, and friendship in your private life.
