Hug in a dream
By folk belief, a hug in a dream brings comfort, closeness and a sign that you are not alone with what you carry.
Dream books read the hug as one of the most tender dreams there is. It is believed to show a need for closeness, and also that someone in waking life sincerely loves you and thinks of you. If a dear person was hugging you, the dream announces a meeting or a kind word; if you were hugging someone, it means you have plenty of warmth to give. After a dream like this old folk advise one simple thing: go and hug someone while awake too, it is worth it.
