Being kissed on the face may reflect a desire to be recognized or to grow closer to someone.
Someone you know or a stranger comes up and kisses your forehead or cheek. It may feel warm and welcome, or uncomfortable because you did not want it.
Korean lore: Traditionally, being kissed on the face has sometimes been interpreted as a scene where affection or goodwill is exchanged. If you felt at ease with the other person, it may reflect growing closeness; if you felt unpleasant, it may reflect feeling that your boundaries were crossed. (In folk dream interpretations, a kiss symbolizes affection and recognition, while the face represents the self revealed in close relationships.)
Through the mind: You may recently have wanted to receive kind words or clear attention from someone. If the contact was unwanted, you might also consider whether there is a relationship in your daily life where you want to keep your distance.
