Shaking hands with someone in a dream means signing an agreement, receiving benefits, a pledge of allegiance, honouring one's promise, making a commitment, good intention, signing a contract, or cherishing a friendship. Shaking hands with someone, then embracing him in a dream, means glad tidings, good news, good words to which one's reply will be the same, or it could represent the knowledge he teaches to others.
