Kissing
A kiss stands for affection and the wish to be wanted. A kiss that makes your heart race means a season when relationships lift, and kissing a stranger was read as a new bond or opportunity approaching. Kissing someone you know usually points less to that person than to something you want from that relationship. Being kissed against your will, by contrast, signals a connection you are keeping up without your heart in it.
A kiss is one of the few gestures that does not work unless the other person leans in as well. Traditional lore treated it as people drawing closer, and so read it as a sign about relationships. What decides the reading, though, is less who it was with than how you felt at the time.
Readings by Situation
A kiss that leaves you fluttering
It means a season when relationships improve: a bond drawing closer, or a distance easing. If the other person was not distinct, the feeling itself rather than any person is the point.
Kissing a stranger
Read as a hint that a new bond or opportunity is approaching. The less you recall the face, the more it points to change itself rather than to any particular person. It also comes often around a change of work or position.
Kissing someone you know
More often than not it means there is something you want from that relationship rather than from the person. Recognition, attention — it may be a scene in which you have projected onto them what you feel is lacking now.
Being made to kiss when you do not want to
A sign that you are keeping up a relationship your heart is not in. Look for a place where you cannot refuse and are being pulled along. If you woke uncomfortable, that feeling is the answer.
A kiss dream does not mean the other person has feelings for you. It is usually a scene drawn by the dreamer’s own mind, so we would not advise getting in touch, or pushing a relationship forward, on the strength of it.
