when speaking to a native speaker, how would i casually say "In my dream last night, we were laying together and holding each other very close"

my attempt is "En mi sueño anoche, estuviste poniendo junto y agarrando el uno del otro muy cerca."

Man if that's a casual conversation - what are your serious conversations like ayayay! :) - Kiwi-Girl, Nov 15, 2012
Hello, welcome to the forum! You should always use proper capitalization in your posts. - rac1, Nov 15, 2012
I like your question, a bit different. Bienvenido al foro! - annierats, Nov 15, 2012
You would not say it casually :) but with intent. - ian-hill, Nov 16, 2012
At least you would have to know the other person quite well, in order to have this converersation, casually.. - annierats, Nov 16, 2012

I'd say: "En mi sueño de anoche, estabamos recostados muy cerca uno al lado del otro, tomados de la mano"

Agarrar in your sentence sounds more like "to grab" which is not very "lovingly" heh.

For the record, in real English, as spoken in the heart of the empire, "laying" can only be used of eggs, plots and plans or traps. It is a transitive verb and requires an object.

To maintain a prone position, with or without company, is correctly referred to as "lying".

and that is teh truth :) - ian-hill, Nov 16, 2012
It occurs to me that you can also "lay" a ghost. - geofc, Nov 16, 2012
Thank you Ian. Sadly I am unable to persuade the colonials among whom I live that this is so. - geofc, Nov 16, 2012
quite right :) - Kiwi-Girl, Nov 16, 2012

"In my dream last night, we were laying together and holding each other very close"

Anoche soñé contigo, estabamos acostados juntos y bien pegados.

That's the best I can do. I'm only a learner.

An interesting and useful question. You can say:

"Anoche, en mi sueño, estábamos tumbados juntos, abrazándonos muy fuerte el uno al otro."

Although, I like more:

"Anoche, en mi sueño, estábamos tumbados juntos, con nuestros cuerpos entrelazados, muy, muy cerca el uno del otro".

Sorry about the capitalization. I was in a rush. Here is the revised version of my question guys.

When speaking to a native speaker, how would i "lovingly" say "In my dream last night, we were laying together and holding each other very close"

My attempt is "En mi sueño anoche, estuviste poniendo junto y agarrando el uno del otro muy cerca."

En mi sueño de anoche, estabamos recostado juntos y sosteniendonos el uno al otro desde muy cerca.
