To dream of embracing your husband or wife, as the case may be, in a sorrowing or indifferent way, denotes that you will have dissensions and accusations in your family, also that sickness is threatened. To embrace relatives, signifies their sickness and unhappiness. For lovers to dream of embracing, foretells quarrels and disagreements arising from infidelity. If these dreams take place under auspicious conditions, the reverse may be expected. If you embrace a stranger, it signifies that you will have an unwelcome guest.
