A Dream world often reflects our real life, but it is not always a scenario that is realistic in some way – even things that are a completely normal event in the world of dreams takes a different connotation, and it can be dark or absurd.

Mostly we are talking about the dreams that are correlated to something that is connected to matters of love, to our partners, trips and holidays, a particular event that takes us that happy place.

Hands in general symbolism represents connections with those around you and how you are compared to the world.
You may need to help someone, or you are the one that needs help, there is no doubt about it – hands are the symbol of support, or help, depending on how you look at it.

If a dream revolves around the motive of holding hands with your significant other, it has a symbolism that you are going to be seduced by some new people, but it can have alternative symbolism. It can be a manifestation of your subconsciousness and anxiety or stress, that the person you love will deceive or leave you.
If in a dream, you are holding hand to someone to help that person, not for some romantic reason, it is the symbol that is not good or positive and implies that someone will leave you when you need support.
If you are holding hands with the person who is your enemy, or at least not your friend, such dream symbolizes that you are someone who is flexible and quite able to look at things the right way, that you know others’ mistakes and flaws, and that you are not inclined to sentence anyone or to judge anyone criticize, you are already ready to accommodate.

You should strive for this in life, regardless of the circumstances in your life.
In some other dream symbolism regarding holding hands, you should congratulate yourself, since you are the person who is honest and loyal friend, always ready to help others, and the best part is that you never expect anything for your deeds.
In the end, this dream can be a confirmation that you believe in human kindness and view the world around you in a completely positive and sometimes overly positive way.
