Hugging
An embrace stands for comfort, reconciliation and protection. Holding and being held warmly is a good omen of a relationship recovering and support you can lean on. Being held by someone you miss usually mirrors the reassurance you need now rather than that person's feelings. Holding a child means something to care for is arriving. Being pushed away as you reach out signals that your approach may feel like pressure.
It is a scene in which the distance between people disappears, so it has been read as a favourable dream about a relationship recovering. Whether you were the one holding or the one held decides the reading.
Readings by Situation
Holding and being held warmly
A favourable dream of a relationship recovering and of solid support. It reads as an awkwardness easing, or as something to lean on appearing.
Being held by someone you miss
More often than not it reflects the reassurance you need now rather than that person’s feelings. If it was someone who has died, it is closer to the mark left by missing them.
Holding a child
It means something you must look after is coming. Often it points not to an actual child but to work you have newly begun or a role you have taken on.
Reaching to embrace and being pushed away
A sign that the way you are approaching may be a weight on the other person. It is more accurate to read it as pace not matching than as feeling absent.
A dream of being embraced does not mean the other person misses you. It is usually your own mind saying it needs comfort now, so take it as a sign to look for something to lean on.
