Also Embracing. Hugging or embracing is the act of holding another person in your arms either affectionately and passionately or as a greeting or indication of friendship.

Positive: To dream of two people hugging in your dream could represent a strong bond, love, or spiritual connection the people share. To dream of embracing your spouse or significant other may symbolize the bond or relationship you share. If Jesus or the Father hug you in your dream it can represent the infallible love, compassion, and acceptance they have for you.

Negative: If you dream of a half-hearted or visibly deceitful hug, it may represent your dislike or distrust to the person you are embracing. A cold hug may also symbolize jealousy, resentment, or hate. Hugging an unknown person could mean that someone is trying to make you lower your guard so they can trick or deceive you. A hug with an enemy may represent betrayal, attack, or persecution.
