21 Meanings When You Dream About Kissing Someone

Kissing is a highly intimate act and can engage us emotionally in a way that even much more physical contact is unable to do. No wonder then that dreams about kissing are so popular and also filled with emotional meaning.

Happily, most of the 21 meanings when you dream about kissing someone contain encouraging interpretations. It is, therefore, likely that your dream will include positive energy or a positive omen.

21 Meanings When You Dream About Kissing Someone

So, to check that out, let’s see what your kissing dream is all about.

1. Dream of Kissing Someone

If you are kissing someone in a dream, it does not necessarily mean that you have a physical or romantic attachment to them. It can often mean that there is something they are doing, or they have some of the qualities, that you admire.

Let me explain…

You might dream of kissing a teacher because you look up to their knowledge and wish to have their level of education. Or, you might dream of kissing your friend’s boyfriend because you think he is kind to your friend and they are a good match together.

So, the next time you dream about kissing someone you are not attracted to, you can relax!

2. Dream of Kissing Your Partner in Public

This means that you are a very open and direct person. You do not hide your emotions. If you are angry, sad, happy, or disappointed, you show it. That makes it easy for your partner to know how you are feeling at any one time, but it makes you a lousy poker player!

There is nothing wrong with expressing yourself in this way. However, when you are at work or in any working environment, you need to reign things in and think with your head rather than your heart.

3. Dream of Kissing Yourself

This means that you are very much in touch with your qualities, skills, and abilities. However, you are also aware of your flaws and weaknesses. Additionally, you have enough insight to recognize where it is realistic and where it is unrealistic to make changes.

Overall, you are someone who has a high level of awareness of yourself. You are comfortable in your own skin and accept who you are.

It is a great recipe for a happy and successful life.

4. Kissing a Crazy Person in your Dream

This is one of the more negative of the 21 meanings when you dream about kissing someone.

So, what is bad about it?

Dreaming about kissing someone mad means that you have made some poor and rather foolish decisions in your past that you are ashamed of. You have buried them away and tried not to think about them, but they have a horrible knack for popping up into your thoughts from time to time. They are also clearly coming back to haunt you in your dreams and subconscious.

You need to take a deep breath and think objectively about just how bad these past mistakes were. We all have periods of poor judgment, especially when we were young. Everyone makes errors, and you are allowed to do this. You are also allowed to forgive yourself and move on.

Stop beating yourself up…

Talk to someone about how you feel and possibly consider talking with an appropriately qualified professional in the first instance. That is because whatever you say to them will be confidential and may, therefore, help to get you past the first hurdles on the way to a guilt-free future.

5. Dream of Being Kissed and Kissing

When you dream that you are kissing and being kissed, and there are no other details, it is a good sign. It means that you feel loved and you are secure in your romantic relationship as well as with your friends and family.

6. Dream of Kissing a Friend Goodbye

When you kiss a friend goodbye in a dream, it means that you are about to undertake some new job or project that is very much out of your comfort zone. You know that the future will be uncertain, with a lot of new difficulties to be faced.

If you feel happy or non-emotional when you are kissing your friend goodbye, this is a good sign. That’s because it shows you are fully ready and looking forward to the new challenge. Conversely, if you feel nervous about the kiss, this is not so good. It indicates that you are unsure about the new challenge, and you doubt your own skills and abilities.

7. Kissing a Pastor in your Dream

If you kiss a pastor or any other man of God in your dream, it means that you want to be respected. This can be across all areas of your life and include; family, work colleagues, friends, and acquaintances. Having status is what drives you and is a big part of your motivation and purpose.

Is there anything wrong with that?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to be respected. It is a perfectly natural desire and one that is good to strive for. Be aware, though, that respect is earned and not simply given. You will, therefore, have to put in some hard yards to get to the point of being respected in all walks of your life.

And again, there is nothing wrong with that either!

8. Dream of Resisting the Kiss of Someone You Dislike

This dream means that you are having pressure placed upon you to do something against your wishes and instincts. It is likely to be someone in your work life and related to a financial decision. To this point, you have continued to resist the requests, but the pressure keeps rising.

Despite feeling stressed, you should hold onto your principles and not allow yourself to be bullied. However, this kind of coercion can be exhausting and more stressful. Therefore, you need to ensure you have an outlet to blow off steam and destress.

9. Dream of Kissing a Celebrity

This does not necessarily indicate that you have a crush on the celebrity. What it means, more typically, is that the celebrity has some talent, skill, or physical or mental attribute that you admire. You might want that trait for yourself, or you might hope that your romantic partner could have it.

Careful…

It is good to dream and aim high, but it is not good to become too obsessed with unobtainable levels of beauty or apparent abilities. Remember that celebrities always promote the very best of who they are, and this is often not a reflection of who they truly are.

Fantasize in your dreams or daydream, but otherwise, keep it real.

10. Dream of Being Seen Kissing Someone

Of all the meanings when you dream about kissing someone, this one is more of a direct warning from your subconscious. If you dream about being observed when you kiss someone, you should pay close attention to who exactly you are kissing.

Seriously…

This is because they are likely to betray you in some way. You, therefore, need to know who they are, so you can take measures to protect yourself against them. However, likely, you are already suspicious of this person in your waking life, which is why they have now found their way into your dreams.

You need to be careful of fake friends and people who might stab you in the back.

If a friend does subsequently betray you, it can be very hard to deal with emotionally, and it can also take a long time to learn to trust people again and get back to your old self.

11. Dream of Someone Kissing You Against Your Will

The dream can have two possible meanings.

The first is that there is someone in your waking life who is trying to pressurize you to do something that you don’t want to do. It is most likely to be your romantic partner, though it could be related to someone at work or someone in your social circle.

If you haven’t already, you need to be clear about your objectives for whatever is being proposed.

If that doesn’t sound right to you…

An alternative meaning is that you have a secret habit or desire that you want to remain hidden. This might be because you are ashamed of it, rightly or wrongly, or that you are just not ready to reveal this thing about yourself.

Kissing someone you don’t want to in a dream indicates that this is playing heavily on your mind. If you are not ready to speak about this with someone you know, then maybe you should speak to an appropriately qualified professional. They are bound by rules of confidentiality, so you will have no issue with your secret being exposed if you want to keep it that way.

12. Dream of Kissing a Sick Person

This is not good and indicates that you are going to experience some serious issues with your romantic partner. The dream foresees that this will be down to some action on your partner’s part that will leave you feeling disappointed.

If you have any idea of them potentially behaving in some way that is going to cause conflict, you need to tell them. Do not wait until this happens; rather, tell them what you fear and why. Your dream is telling you that you have doubts and think something is going to happen, so listen and act upon it.

13. Dream of Kissing a Stranger

A dream where you kiss a stranger can have two possible meanings.

It can be a warning from your subconscious that you need to steer clear of short-term relationships. You may have had a series of bad previous nonserious partnerships that have done nothing to enhance your self-esteem or improve your mental health.

What should you do?

Listen to your inner voice and quit any kind of short-lived romantic entanglement.

Alternatively, kissing a stranger in a dream can mean that there are parts of your personality that you have tried to suppress. Although they are not necessarily bad, you don’t think they are traits that you should openly display. You now have finally come to terms with who you are, and you will no longer hide it.

Good for you.

14. Kissing Someone of the Same Gender in a Dream

This is not a sign of homosexuality but rather indicates that you are seeking comfort and solace in your waking life. It could be that you are suffering from high levels of stress and you have no outlet to deal with your mental state.

Or, it might be that you are suffering from burnout due to your commitments at work. This is not unusual and is becoming increasingly common as the modern world and companies demand more from their employees.

How to hack this?

If you are feeling stressed, you should take a few simple steps to help get these levels down. Start by learning and practicing a few easy stress-relief exercises. You could also make a conscious effort to get away from your desk every day and take a short walk. Other things you can do include picking up old hobbies, getting involved with a club, taking up exercise, eating a well-balanced diet, and getting plenty of sleep.

Take the step and learn to reconnect with who you really are.

15. Kissing Someone on the Lips in your Dream

Of all the meanings when you dream about kissing someone, this one is the most spiritual. In fact, a dream where you kiss someone on the lips is often a sign of spirituality itself.

What does that mean?

The exact meaning very much depends on the details of the dream. In this case, it is important to be able to recall your feelings in the dream to get an accurate interpretation of what is going on.

If you feel happy when you kiss the person, this means that you are at peace with your God. You also feel positively connected to the spirit world. Conversely, if you are repulsed by the kiss, you might be having a crisis of religion and believe there is evil in the spirit world trying to do you harm.

16. Dream of Kissing a Close Friend

This means that you want to form a closer relationship with your friend than you currently have. It could be that you want to deepen the friendship or, alternatively, you have a physical attraction to this person. If it is the former, then things are likely to progress at their own pace, and everything should be fine. However, if it is the latter, things could get tricky, and you need to be very careful with how you proceed.

Why is that?

Because if your friend doesn’t have the same romantic feelings for you, things could get very awkward as a result. You need to tread very carefully to assess if they have the same feelings for you as you for them. Before you even start to explore this, you must be sure of how you feel.

Another issue is that if they clearly do not feel the same way, it will be hard to keep them as a friend. Holding feelings for someone when not reciprocated and being so close will not be easy. It could lead to the disintegration of your friendship.

17. Dream of Having an Unpleasant Feeling when Kissing Someone

This is one of the less positive of meanings when you dream about kissing.

Not surprising, really…

Firstly it can indicate that you have several aspects to your character and behavior that you don’t want to reveal. While it is understandable that there are some things you want to keep private, there are so many ways that you are presenting yourself as someone you are not.

You can hide this some of the time, but if you want to develop a deep bond with someone romantically, you are faced with two choices. You will have to be honest with your new partner from the start, or you will have to make some changes. If you don’t do this, you better think about buying a cat.

If this doesn’t sound like you…

Feeling strange when you kiss someone in a dream can also mean that you are living with a lot of stress and anxiety in your life. If this is the case, you need to talk things over with someone close to you and first look at ways to reduce some of the load. Then, think about employing a few simple stress management techniques, like becoming more active, improving your diet, and getting into better sleep habits.

You could also think about getting some time to yourself by simply going for a short walk every day or practicing meditation when you wake up. Additionally, try to connect more with people socially.

18. Dream of Kissing Someone’s Foot

This has two potential meanings.

The first is positive and shows that there is someone in your waking life that you look up to and see as a role model. You are happy to learn from them and follow their steps willingly. You believe that they have the knowledge and experience that could help you to achieve your long-term goals and ambitions.

And what about the second?

The second potential meaning is negative and indicates that there is someone who is treating you poorly. They might be showing you little respect and trying to undermine you or put you down. They are likely in a position of power over you, so will probably be your boss or some other authority figure.

This is a difficult situation, and it requires you to be brave and stick up for yourself. The behavior you are enduring is bound to be eroding your confidence and is terrible for your mental health. Talk to someone you trust and discuss the best ways you can deal with this bully.

19. Dream of Kissing Someone Else’s Partner

If you kiss someone else’s partner in a dream, it means one of two things.

It could be that you are currently alone and you are jealous of your friend’s relationship. You miss not having a romantic partner and long for a time when you can be close to someone again. The dream is a reminder that you need to actively renew your search and think of starting dating again.

It can also mean that you are dissatisfied with your current relationship. You are, again, jealous of your friend, but in this instance, you feel the qualities in your partner are not living up to what you expected or hoped for.

If that’s the case for you…

It is now time that you speak to your partner and gently let them know how you feel. Do this in a non-accusatory and non-confrontational way. Do not be petty and stay on point, only covering the things that are of genuine concern.

20. Dream of Giving Someone a French Kiss

The dream means that you are not being honest with yourself and have buried your feelings, good or bad, from many of the people in your life. This can be with friends or romantic partners. You may find it difficult to express your emotions, and it has led to you effectively keeping people at a distance.

So, what’s the real message here?

The french kiss dream is telling you that you need to be more open with your emotions and give people a clue as to your feelings and intentions. If you don’t do this, it will be difficult to form romantic attachments, as prospective partners will be unsure of how to approach or act around you.

Additionally, people you have no interest in spending time with or pursuing in a romantic way, may not get the hint and will continually follow you around.

21. Dream of Kissing Someone on the Neck

In the waking world, a kiss on the neck is an intimate act. Likewise, if you dream that you kissed someone on the neck, it indicates a high amount of passion and desire for them. This is great if it is with your present romantic partner, but what if this strong urge for physical intimacy involves someone who is not your partner?

That depends…

If you already have a romantic partner, you need to sort out what is going on with your relationship to be having such strong feelings for someone else. If you are single, and so are they, and generally suitable, then what is stopping you?
