You're Being Kissed

Someone Says "I Love You"

If someone you are crushing on expresses their feelings towards you, this is a positive sign if there ever was one. They certainly have feelings for you, as you do with them, even if those feelings are more friendly than romantic. They make you feel loved, and they're reaching out, so don't be afraid to do something about it!

Your Parents Upset You

This is another dream that mirrors how you are feeling in real life. Your desire to be independent is often held back by your parents telling you what you can and cannot do. You want to be a "grown up," but your parents aren't letting you do this. Let them know how you really feel next time you have this dream.

You Experience the End of the World

As this dream implies, it symbolizes the end of something major in your life. Now that may be scary, because who isn't afraid of some serious change? And while you may be afraid, experiencing the dramatic event this dream foreshadows only means you will be able to grow as an individual.
