hug in dream

This dream recounts the protagonist embracing a departed loved one in the dream, who is wearing the sweater that left the deepest impression on the protagonist in reality

“In reality, when we lose someone important to us, we often find ourselves reminiscing about them. Sometimes, holding onto objects from the past while sleeping can intensify the content of our dreams, allowing us to reconnect with those who have passed away. Dreams serve as a bridge, enabling us to traverse time and space. What emotions might arise when people encounter their departed loved ones again? The reaction upon waking varies for each individual, but within the dream, it's undoubtedly warm and beautiful.”
