Dreaming of a Lap
lap, knees, thighs · mixed
Sitting on someone's lap brings respite, but what lands in your own lap may signal criticism or threats.
What happens in the dream
- You sit on someone's lap: a pleasant escape from tiresome obligations
- You hold someone on your lap: you'll face unkind criticism
- A snake in your lap: enemies threaten to humiliate you
- A cat in your lap: beware of an alluring person with bad intentions
How you felt
- A need for safety: the dream may reflect a wish to be comforted and protected
- Wariness: you may sense a closeness that isn't entirely safe
Ask yourself
- Whose comfort do I need right now?
- Who is too close for my own good?
