Dreaming of kissing: meaning in Korea

In the Korean reading, a kiss in a dream is a deal being sealed: cooperation, contracts and relationships drawing closer.

What they say in Korea 키스하는 꿈

In K-dramas, the first kiss is practically a national event. In kkumhaemong, though, the kiss has a broader reading: it is said to stand for an agreement, a meeting of interests or a conversation that ends well. Kissing someone you know is read as cooperation growing stronger, at work or in friendship. Kissing a stranger can announce a new contract or an unexpected alliance. If the kiss is with a celebrity, the folk reading speaks of recognition and social good luck. Only when the kiss feels awkward or forced is it read as a negotiation worth reviewing calmly.

Depending on the details

if you kiss someone you like

A wish expressed in a dream. The Korean reading adds that there may be a real step closer, or at least more confidence to make the first move.

if you kiss a stranger

A new agreement or an unexpected alliance. It might be a client, a partner or a collaboration coming from somewhere you never imagined.

if you kiss a celebrity

In Korea, dreaming of famous people is tied to good luck and recognition. A kiss with a star could announce a very favorable social streak.

And luck?

After this dream, a Korean might work up the courage to close that pending deal or, just for fun, watch a romance K-drama.

In other traditions

In the West a kiss in a dream is tied to desire, affection, a need for closeness or approval. Kissing someone unexpected can be read as admiring some quality in that person.
