Yearning in a dream means longing for other aspects in life including familial, romanticized feelings, unresolved desires from disagreements in life, possession by desire which foreshadows what may come before you in the waking hours.
Also, yearning in a dream symbolizes the wanting of something or the longing for some unattainable state whether manifesting physically or mentally. It implies the feeling that one cannot reach this goal due to imperfections in ones character causing desire to be suppressed out of self-disgust and remorse.
On the opposite side of this coin, yearning in a dream represents desire as escaping reality. Dreaming of an appealing aspect means comparing the significance to that which is real. Often, this sense goes beyond a physical feeling and will intrude in thoughts leading to inaction and paralysis in the dreamer’s waking hours. Don’t allow the yearning to take over when you are awake, otherwise you are simply left walking around daydreaming and forgetting what is important in reality.
