Practical Steps to Understand Your Dream of Sudden Hugs
- Reflect on Your Relationships
Take a moment to think about your relationships with the individuals featured in your dreams. How do you feel about these people in your waking life? A sudden hug in a dream may represent feelings that you need to express or acknowledge.
If the dream involved a close friend, consider reaching out and sharing your thoughts or feelings with them.
