Lips

Lip, Red lips

Lips are where words and kisses begin. When a dream zooms in on them, the theme is usually affection or communication. Full, smiling lips can mean you feel attractive and open to closeness. Painted lips hint at the image you show the world, or a wish to be noticed. Lips pressed tightly together say you're holding back words, perhaps to keep the peace. If someone's lips moved but you couldn't hear them, you may feel you're missing an important message.
