Hug Dream Meaning

Hugging someone in a dream, or being hugged, mostly speaks of a need for emotional security. The meaning depends a great deal on who you are holding and how the hug feels.

• Warmly hugging someone you know

  That relationship is a major source of reassurance for you right now.

• Hugging a loved one who has died

  This dream often comes when something is still unfinished between you, whether love or words you never said.

• Being hugged by a stranger

  It shows a longing for support you have not yet found in waking life.

• Feeling uncomfortable in the hug

  If your body stiffens or you want to pull away, there is distance or mistrust somewhere in that relationship.

• Holding someone tightly and not wanting to let go

  A fear of losing that relationship has taken root deep in your mind.

A hug can say more than words often can. Even in sleep, the mind finds a way to say what was left unsaid.
