This dream wasn't very long.

It started out at some kind of party. I don't remember the details of the party too much (like what the theme was and why I was there), but I know the location was in the student center of my college campus. The lighting and everything was a bit different then you'd expect for one of these kind of parties (like I could see clearly he had on a plain white shirt, which wouldn't be really apparent if the actual party lights were on, so I feel like it was a bit after they finished up).

I was with someone at this party and we were kind of dancing, but then he just held me and it felt so real. His warmth was seeping into my body and I felt safe. His presence was very solid and seemed almost to envelop me.

One weird thing about this dream was that my hands were really cold, but I presessed them to his back and they warmed up.

Then I woke up and was so sad to have woken up.

It sounds like you have a need for comfort and security and your dreaming mind is providing that for you.

If you are female, then the guy who held you could be your animus, your strong, masculine side.

College is associated with learning, so that could have to do with you learning new things about yourself.

Your hands heating up could be related to power and energy that you didn't realize that you have.
