Dream of Hugging a Cactus - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may touch on your wish to embrace someone or something you want close, even knowing you could get hurt.
You hold a thorny cactus in both arms, pulling it tightly against you. You may be left with the feeling of holding on despite carefully avoiding the spines.
Korean lore: Traditionally, embracing something with thorns has sometimes been interpreted as drawing close to a cautious relationship or something difficult to handle. If you held it without getting hurt, it may also be seen as having the strength to face a difficult situation. (In folk dream interpretations, the contrast between thorns and an embrace is a theme symbolically associated with relationships that hold both affection and boundaries.)
Through the mind: You may want to stay close to someone even while knowing their sharper side. Or you may be holding on to standards that make things hard for you, unable to let them go.
