A Dream of Hugging a Photograph - dream meaning with inherited lore
Longing for someone who is no longer by your side, or for a return to the past, may appear in this scene.
You hold a person in a photograph, or an old photograph, tightly in both arms. You may tear up while looking at it, or feel as if that person is quietly beside you.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of hugging a photograph have sometimes been interpreted as holding on to a past relationship or memory. They may also be seen as part of sorting through old feelings and moving on to the next stage. (In folk dream interpretations, photographs have been read as symbols of people and memories from the past, while an embrace is seen as a scene showing an emotional connection with them.)
Through the mind: A particular person or period may have been coming to mind often lately, or feelings you thought had ended may have risen again. You may be missing not the person in the photograph, but who you were and how you felt at that time.
