One of the first ways we experience the world as babies, is through our mouths and sense of taste. Thus, to dream of licking something represents an exploration of the world around you – gathering information on a certain topic or idea. Further, dreaming of licking suggests trying something or tasting something – you are interested in the experience, but haven’t fully committed to it. Alternatively, dreaming of licking suggests love – as dogs do when they are happy to see you. Further, depending on the context of the dream licking can have sexual connotations and represent sexuality, passion, and physical pleasure.
