A dream of kissing will make you feel loved or disgusted, depending on who you kissed or got kissed by! However, would you feel the same if an ugly monster tried to kiss you? We bet not!!! Instead, you would start to wonder about the meaning of the dream.
So, we simplify your tasks by unfolding some dream scenarios in the latter sections. So, hop on! You might even get surprised by some of the symbolism.
What Does It Mean When You Dream of Kissing Someone?
SUMMARY
Usually, a dream about kissing someone or getting kissed by another individual signifies positivity, love, respect, admiration, and contentment in your waking world. That being said, there are several dreams revolving around kissing that foretells betrayal.
Generally, kissing someone or someone doing the same to you in a dream stands for love, harmony, affection, and contentment in your waking life.
But according to the types of kisses, the person you kissed, and where you kissed him or her, the interpretation varies. While some portend positivity, others may stand for something extremely unpleasant.
Such dreams are also related to your real-life relationships and how you communicate with people. On the other hand, a few plots reflect how you are keeping secrets about yourself or other people.
1. Happiness and Contentment
Though not all dreams associated with kissing symbolize positivity, many of them reflect peace, harmony, and contentment.
2. Feelings Of Closeness And Intimacy
In reality, we share kisses with people we are close with. Never do we go up to a stranger and kiss him or her. Therefore, kissing dreams could stand for feelings of closeness and the development of an intimate relationship between you and another person.
3. Hidden Desires And Passion
According to Ernest Hartmann, a dream researcher, the central image of any dream is directly related to an emotion, which may be either positive or negative. In this case, dreaming about kissing someone may stand for the romantic feelings you have for someone.
As per the theories of Sigmund Freud who believes dreams reflect the dreamer’s repressed desires, a kiss in a dream plot could stand for the hidden emotions the dreamer feels for someone in his or her waking life.
4. Deceit And Betrayal
In the Holy Bible, the act of kissing is often associated with betrayal. Therefore, depending on the details as well as taking into account your real-life circumstances, a scenario about kissing may symbolize betrayal from someone you trust.
5. Breaking Boundaries
Often in real life, a kiss is a breakthrough in a relationship. Suppose you share quite a formal relationship with a colleague. That relationship will never be the same once you kiss him or her.
On that note, dreams associated with kissing are also related to breaking barriers in the waking world.
6. You have fallen for someone you really shouldn’t
The difference between reality and the dream world is rationality. Most of the time, we weigh the pros and cons before doing anything in the waking world. Despite our fantasies and desires, we refrain from committing an act if we believe it to be wrong.
On the contrary, anything can happen in the dream world. Literally, anything and everything is possible.
In that regard, kissing someone, especially another person’s partner may mean you secretly love or feel attracted to that person. While you do not let your feelings and emotions come to the surface in the real world, your desires are projected in the dream world, the realm where anything can happen.
7. You are being secretive
Some dream scenarios associated with kisses are a sign that you are keeping something away from others. The reason may be anything under the sun. Perhaps you have done something you know is morally or ethically wrong or it may be because you feel embarrassed about it.
Dream about Kissing – 67 Different Scenarios And Their Meanings
1. Kissing yourself in a dream
If you dream about kissing yourself, it means you have accepted yourself for who you are. You have started to look at situations from the brighter side and have decided to own your flaws and embrace them.
2. A dream about your first kiss
Dreams about your first kiss show that you anticipate your life’s first kiss. At other times, it may denote love is in the air and a romantic relationship is in the making. Nonetheless, it could even be a sign that your life lacks love and romance.
3. Dreaming that you were kissed
Sometimes, you will dream about yourself getting a kiss from someone. If the plot does not include any specific details such as where exactly you were kissed and who kissed you, the dream means well.
Such types of generic dreams reflect that you are loved and appreciated for who you are.
4. Dreaming about someone trying to kiss you against your will
The scenario has two different interpretations. The first shows how someone in your circle has tried to shove their ideas and opinions onto you. Could it be that he or she is compelling you to do something or go by his ideas though you have no wish to?
On another note, that ‘kiss’ may symbolize a behavior or personality trait about yourself that you have kept hidden. Since you showed your resistance in the plot, it means you are not yet prepared to come to terms with that particular trait or behavior.
5. Someone kissing you on the back in a dream
This is probably a warning. If you dream about the plot, it may stand for the possibility of someone dragging you into a scandal or fraudulent activity.
6. Dreaming that you were about to kiss someone
Sometimes, you will get transported and pushed back to reality just as you were about to kiss someone in your dream. Often such a scenario means you yearn to get into a relationship with someone in your real life.
But unsure about how they will reciprocate, you might have been reluctant to confess your feelings.
7. Dreaming of kissing someone
Dreams about kisses or kissing do not always have to do with people, relationships, and romance. It may also symbolize an idea or an upcoming event.
Kissing someone in a dream vision may happen if you are supportive of an idea or an event.
For instance, say your brother and his fiance want to hold a huge wedding ceremony, an idea that your parents are against. And around this time, if you dream of kissing your brother or his fiance or both, the plot may signify that you support their idea.
After all, a wedding is a once in a lifetime happening!
8. A dream about getting caught while kissing someone
To dream about getting caught red-handed means you will be stabbed by a person you trust a lot. That individual could be someone who cares for you but acted against you due to some selfish interests.
On the other hand, it may even stand for a fake friend who approaches you with an ulterior motive to hurt you.
9. Kissing your father in a dream
The dream vision symbolizes success and prosperity.

Kissing a close friend in a dream is likely to happen if you wish to be closer to him or her than you are already in the waking world. Perhaps you want to connect with that person romantically!
13. Kissing a friend
To dream of the above plot could be your subconscious mind encouraging you to consider a reconciliation with someone you got distant from. Probably the reason for the separation might have been a silly matter.
Think about the people in your life. Are you still in touch with all of them or have you part ways with some – childhood friends, perhaps. How was your relationship earlier and how is it now? Do you rarely or never talk to each other presently?
In case you have any such people, your subconscious may be encouraging you to reach out to them and not let your ego get in between.
14. Kissing a friend goodbye
Here, your friend symbolizes your familiar zone. The scenario indicates you are leaving your comfort zone to explore more challenging areas of life. Additionally, you must try to recall the emotions you felt in the dream.
If you were emotionally unstable and felt small kissing your friend goodbye, it means you still lack confidence about stepping into the unknown zone.
On the flip side, if you did not experience any emotions as such in the dream it shows that you are not bothered about the obstacles and challenges that you will possibly encounter as you walk on the new path.
15. Kissing your partner
Regardless of age and gender, a dream wherein you kissed your partner or vice versa reflects domestic peace and harmony.
16. Kissing your real-life partner
While some dream experts relate the scene to a lack of love and romance in your relationship, others believe it symbolizes the love, harmony, and respect you have for each other.
16. Kissing your partner who is of the same gender
Such types of dream plots do not reflect homosexuality or same-sex relationship. Instead, the dream indicates you seek comfort in your everyday life.
For example, say you feel stressed and burned out from your work every single day. Consequently, you might have started looking for ways that would give you a stress-free life. At that point, a dream about kissing your partner who is of the same gender as you is most likely.
17. Kissing your partner in a public place
If you dream about kissing your partner in a public place, it means you are too open when it comes to your emotions. Whether it is love or hate, you usually do not hold in and show whatever emotions you feel for a person.

If you kiss your boyfriend or girlfriend or spouse in bright light, it is a good dream and shows that your partner is a decent person with equal respect for both men and women.
19. Kissing your partner in a dark place
The darkness in the dream maybe your subconscious trying to bring your attention to your partner’s behaviors and activities. Possibly, he or she has indulged in something you wouldn’t appreciate or approve of.
It need not be something bad, though it might be. The point is you wouldn’t be happy and wouldn’t be able to encourage him or her.
20. Seeing your partner kiss someone else
The plot may stand for infidelity and deceit. But before you go to your partner and accuse him or her of cheating note that the dream could be a reflection of something that happened years or even a decade ago.

Your partner in the vision may even represent you.

22. Kissing someone else’s partner
Despite the negativity associated with the plot, the dream is a sign that you would be successful in whatever you try your luck on around this time. Be it a career, job, or even love and relationships, the universe has your back and you must make the most of it.
On the other hand, your dream could be foretelling a trip you’ll likely undertake with your partner soon. Don’t think twice about it if you want to nurture your relationship.

25. Kissing someone you dislike in reality
If a dream about kissing someone symbolizes a potential relationship with that person, what could a dream about kissing someone you hate mean?
Is it also related to a relationship with that person?
