To dream that you are licking something denotes your ability to carefully examine new projects and situations before starting.
On the other hand, it may signify simple gratification.
To dream that you are licked by an animal denotes that you will be consulted for advice.
This was my mum’s dream. (Wendy passed away about a month before my mum had this dream) Wendy comes up to my mum, doesn’t say anything but licks up the left side of her neck. (mum woke from the dream and her neck was wet)
