Lips have potential for symbolism related to their use and function, such as for talking, eating, and kissing. The symbolism will be defined by the actions and other details involving lips, and by the context in which they’re used in the dream-story. Most human dream characters are going to have lips and that doesn’t mean that the symbolism of lips is being used. The lips in the dream have to be important to the story. For example, chapped lips can symbolize difficulty with articulation, or saying things that hurt, or embarrassment. Bloody lips can symbolize arguments and other sorts of harsh verbal exchanges. Swollen lips can symbolize proud talk or arrogance, similar to the idea expressed in the term “swollen head.” A fat lip can symbolize saying something stupid or something that provokes someone’s anger. Cut lips can symbolize saying something that gets you into trouble, or that hurts. Lips cut off or missing can symbolize restrictions in your diet, or being forbidden or unable to say something. Putting on lipstick can symbolize sweet-talking, or hiding the truth. Lipstick can symbolize something you say that sticks to you. It becomes associated with you, perhaps part of your reputation or image.

See: Jobs Kissing in a dream can be a sign of intimacy. Intimacy is often used in the sense of romantic or sexual intimacy, but dreams can use it in the sense of being close and personal. For instance, you might dream about kissing a close friend after having an intimate conversation or sharing secrets. Kissing and talking both involve the mouth, creating a strong connection that can be used as symbolism. Extend the idea of intimacy and it can symbolize intimacy with a subject. Ideas and creativity are candidates for kissing symbolism because people tend to feel a personal closeness with them. Ideas and creativity are intimate parts of a person. Just watch how people commonly react to comments or criticism about their ideas and creative endeavors. They tend to get defensive and take it personally, like protecting someone they love. A common variation of the kissing theme in dreams involves your significant other kissing another person, or kissing your ex. See: Infidelity, Former partners Seeing your ex kiss another person in a dream can symbolize recognition that the person has moved on from the relationship and is perhaps seeing other people. Kissing your ex can express the desire to get back together with that person, or to get in touch. Kissing someone as your ex watches can mean that your mind is still on your ex, or you have moved on from the relationship, and you know your ex hasn’t. It can symbolize desire to make the person jealous. Kissing in a dream can be a wish-fulfillment or fantasy, especially if you have a crush on the person depicted as a character in a dream. Dreaming about your crush kissing someone else can be an expression of jealousy or desire to get the person’s attention. But also consider that it can symbolize a close conversation with the person. People often confuse kissing for desire when usually in dreams it’s associated with talking and conversation. See also: Body parts, Former partners, Faces, Jealousy, Mouths, Speaking
