Kiss

A 'Kiss' in a dream represents showing love and affection for the Self. A kiss is an intimate expression of love, tenderness, and affection. Since every person in a dream represents an aspect of your own consciousness, kissing someone in a dream reflects the act of extending love and affection toward an aspect of yourself. This is a beautiful symbol. It suggests that you are developing a loving relationship with yourself -- that you are learning to embrace, appreciate, and show tenderness toward the different parts of who you are. Self-love is not vanity or selfishness. It is the recognition that you are worthy of the same love and care that you give to others. Pay attention to who you are kissing. The person represents the specific aspect of yourself that you are extending love toward. Are you kissing a child, reflecting love for a developing part of yourself? A stranger, indicating acceptance of an unfamiliar quality? A romantic partner, suggesting a deepening commitment to yourself?

When a kiss shows up in your dream, it is affirming the love you are cultivating for yourself -- or it is calling for you to begin. You cannot give what you do not have. The love you extend to others can only be as deep as the love you have for yourself. Embrace yourself fully. Show affection for who you are, including the parts that are still developing. Self-love is the foundation upon which all other love is built.
