Laboratory
Lab, Science lab, Lab experiment
Test tubes, white coats and careful notes make a laboratory the home of trial and error. Dreams like this are common when you're trying something new in waking life and can't yet tell how it will turn out, such as a fresh routine, a relationship or an idea. Running experiments yourself suggests curiosity and a willingness to fail before you get it right. If you were the one being tested, you may feel watched and measured, as if others are waiting for results. A bubbling, colorful mixture adds excitement about combining things that don't usually go together.
