Personal symbolism
An embrace can feel comforting or strained, and the dream places strong weight on the mood and relationship involved. A cold or sorrowful embrace with a spouse is linked with family tensions and threatened illness, while embracing relatives carries a similar unhappy tone. Lovers’ embraces shift with the surrounding conditions: troubling circumstances suggest quarrels about infidelity, while auspicious ones reverse that outcome. An embrace with a stranger brings the prospect of an unwelcome visitor. Consider who was close to you and how the contact felt.
