Lullaby
Being sung to sleep, Cradle song, Singing a baby to sleep
A lullaby is often the very first song a person hears: soft, slow and sung by someone who wants them to feel safe. Hearing one in your dream suggests a longing for reassurance, for someone to tell you that things will be all right. Singing one to a child or a loved one shows your wish to comfort and protect. A lullaby from your own childhood can bring back a voice you miss, along with the warmth of being cared for. If the melody sounded strange or sad, a comforting routine may have lost some of its old power.
