A dream about kissing or being kissed points to things like affection, harmony, and mutual respect. But the dream can be more nuanced than just that.
If you're kissing a stranger, it might represent self-discovery or acknowledgment of an aspect of yourself. If you're being kissed, it could indicate acceptance and reconciliation with an aspect of your personality. However, the context and your feelings during the dream are also important. If the kiss was uncomfortable, it might suggest you're feeling invaded or disrespected in some way. Overall, kissing dreams are usually about connection and self-exploration.
Kissing can be a very deep dream experience to to really give you a single answer for. To really say confidently, I would need to get to know the dreamer's life and circumstances.

Conversely, being kissed in a dream could signify a subconscious acceptance of these unfamiliar aspects. The emotional context of the dream is crucial. An uncomfortable kiss might indicate a struggle with accepting certain parts of your personality. In essence, dreams of kissing typically reflect a journey of self-understanding and the quest for emotional wholeness.

Being kissed, by contrast, could signify divine acceptance, a spiritual reconciliation with your higher self. The emotional context of the dream is crucial.
