A lap is read as one cycle of effort in a longer race. Counting laps reflects measuring progress; endless laps, the sense of going round and round without arriving.
Does the traditional reading fit your dream, or did it mean something else to you?
My Cosmic Code has a private dream journal. Write a dream down and the app picks out the symbols in it, shows what dream books say about them and, over time, which words recur across your entries. The journal is stored on your device only.
