Kissing and intimacy
MingSez’s interpretation
A kiss can give closeness, welcome or a desired connection a concrete action. Its meaning changes when it is wanted, hesitant, unwanted or part of saying goodbye. We read your response and the surrounding relationship in the dream rather than assume that the kiss reveals a hidden wish or the other person’s feelings.
Traditional context and source limits
No directly matching kissing omen has been verified in the passages used here. Wang Fu’s discussion of different personal preferences helps preserve the difference between welcome and unwanted contact. The interpretations of intimacy and farewell below are MingSez’s own.
How the scene changes the meaning
You exchange a welcome kiss and feel close to someone.
Mutual closeness is expressed within the scene. Consider whether the important quality was affection, reassurance or reunion.
Someone kisses you and you pull away.
Unwanted contact and your response are central. The action does not have to be recast as a secret desire simply because it appeared in a dream.
A question to take with you: Was the contact welcome, uncertain, unwanted or part of a farewell?
