Meaning of dreaming of lap

When we were children, we looked for a lap to feel welcomed and protected, no matter what. Adults carried us and cradled us at any cry, look of sadness and irritability presented by us when we were still children, as a form of welcome.

As we grow up, the image of a lap usually comes at stages of vulnerability, even some adults even throw themselves on their parents' or partners' laps - even if it's no longer age-appropriate - to get the same sense of protection and support as when they were younger.

To dream of a lap symbolizes that you need to feel welcomed and supported, or you need to give this support to someone. Depending on the details of the dream, you can explore more interpretations. Check them out below!

To dream of a baby on your lap

The baby is that little being who needs assistance all the time because he is not yet able to survive alone. That is, his physical, psychological and even spiritual needs require support from an older, therefore more experienced, person.

As we grow up, we acquire the ability to deal with ourselves, with the world, and we develop the ability to take care of ourselves. However, one thing is a fact: no adult fully develops the ability to take care of himself/herself in all areas of life. This is even hard work that accompanies us until death.

In other words, there are always traits in our personality and vulnerabilities that need to be remanaged. Therefore, to dream of a baby on your lap symbolizes that you or someone else is not being able to take care of you and needs support and support in this phase.

The dream is a wake-up call for you to build emotional strengthening so that you yourself are able to deal with your vulnerabilities; giving you assistance.
