Hugging
Hugging often touches a closeness that disappoints — embraces in love or business that don't deliver, advances of doubtful character. The dream may ask where you're reaching for warmth that may let you down, whose arms you're accepting that you shouldn't, and whether the affection offered or sought is as true as the gesture suggests.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for hugging, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
If you dream of hugging, you will be disappointed in love affairs and in business.
For a woman to dream of hugging a man, she will accept advances of a doubtful character from men.
For a married woman to hug others than her husband, she will endanger her honor in accepting attentions from others in her husband's absence.
