Licking milk, water, honey, or a dash of anything in a dream denotes frugality, tight-handedness, or meager earnings. To dip one's finger in a plate of tasty food and lick it in a dream may denote a precious metal, a jewel, or a pendant. To lick up one's fingers or any element in a dream means money or benefits from the substance one is licking in their dream. (Also see Electuary)
