To dream of a label represents a desire for clarity or understanding about the situation. Behavior that defines how or what other people think about it. Defining how others see you in role.

To dream of having problems reading a label may reflect feelings of having difficulty getting clarity or understanding about a situation.

To dream of removing a label may represents intentionally making clarity or understanding impossible in a situation. Covering up a particular aspect of your identity or situation.

To dream of changing a label may represent redefining clarity or understanding in a situation. Repositioning yourself in a particular situation or relationship.

To dream of someone else reading a label may reflect a reliance on others to provide clarity or understanding about a situation. An aspect of yourself that is trying to gain clarity or understanding.

Example: A woman that she couldn't read the label on her husband's medication. In waking life she felt her husband was growing apart from her as they were in the process of marriage separation. In this case, the label on the husband medication may have reflected her feeling that she couldn't understand or make sense of the changes in her husband's behavior, emotions, or intentions that led to the separation. The label may represent her desire for clarity or understanding about the situation and her inability to gain it.

Example 2: A woman dreamed of wanting to upload pictures to MySpace and label them as "My Godson." In waking life she was asked by a friend to be the Godmother of her child. In this case the labelling may have reflected her willingness to take ownership of this new role and to publicly display her connection and commitment to the child. She was defining how she thinks about her Godson in public or how other people think about her in that role for the first time.
