What does an earlobe mean in dreams?
1. The traditional interpretation

A dream about an earlobe or touching one can symbolize communication and wisdom. But the dream is often more nuanced.
The earlobe, being a part of the ear, is often associated with listening and understanding. If you're touching someone's earlobe, it may indicate your desire to impart knowledge or advice. Conversely, it could also mean you're seeking guidance or wisdom from others. This dream encourages you to open up to communication and listen more attentively to those around you.
An earlobe can be a somewhat deep and fascinating dream object to to give you a single meaning for. To say confidently, I'd need to get to know the dreamer's life and current mindset.
2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

Dreaming of an earlobe, in Freudian terms, might signify latent anxieties or desires related to communication and comprehension.
Some alternatives: The earlobe, a peripheral part of the ear, could symbolize peripheral understanding or marginalization in communication. Touching another's earlobe in a dream might represent a subconscious yearning for deeper connection or understanding, or a suppressed urge to influence or control others' perceptions. This dream could be a manifestation of the ego's struggle with the id and superego, reflecting internal conflicts over communication and influence. It suggests a need for introspection and possibly, a reevaluation of one's communication style or relationships.
3. The spiritualist's interpretation

Dreaming about an earlobe or touching one can be a spiritual signal to tune into the divine whispers of the universe. The earlobe, being a part of the ear, is a symbol of spiritual receptivity. If you're touching someone's earlobe in your dream, it may indicate your spiritual desire to connect with others on a deeper, more intuitive level. Conversely, it could also signify your soul's yearning for divine guidance or wisdom. This dream is a spiritual call to enhance your listening skills, not just in the physical realm, but also in the spiritual realm. It encourages you to be more receptive to the divine messages that are being communicated to you through various channels.
