Spiritual Meaning:
A tap is a means of controlling the flow of Spiritual energy. As visualization before sleep it can be a way of controlling imagery in dreams.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
Water is considered to be a symbol of emotion, so a tap is representative of our ability to use or misuse emotion in some way. To be able to turn emotion on and off at will is indicative of great self-control. A dripping tap would indicate a difficulty in controlling emotions.

Everyday Material Aspects:
The tap is an image of being able to make available universal resources. To dream of not being able to turn a tap either on or off highlights our ability – or inability – to control those things we consider to be rightfully ours. To be tapping something suggests that we are trying to free up our energies. Tap dancing highlights a rhythmic approach to life.
