Embracing
Holding another person fully in the arms — the act of bringing a body into your own circle.
Embracing in a dream is the dream's image of the act of bringing another body fully into your own circle. The embrace is more than touch; the embrace is the willing closure of the small gap that ordinarily exists between two people. The dream brings embracing when something in your life — a reunion, a comfort offered to a grieving friend, a reconciliation — is being delivered by the act of structurally getting close. An embrace given and returned is the dream affirming the closed gap. An embrace given to a body that has not softened in response is the dream noting that the closure was attempted and the other person was not in a position to receive it, and the gap is, in this moment, larger than it looks.
