I need input NOW!

Iv'e been looking for the proper place to express this.
I have a guy who reoccurs in my dreams frequently. We used to see eachother every now and then and we both have strong spirituality, of perhaps different kinds but I guess we must be connected in some way.
TO THE POINT
When he was first in my dream is was only his name that appeared on a book.
Other apperences were words of advice such as "Education is the doorway to life" and of a friendly nature which made me long for him in reality.
Then he bacame my saftey zone, If I was in trouble in my dream he would appear some where or I would find him.
Ex.I was In trouble in a hospital for talking on behalf of the patients about the service they were getting, and a nurse got mad at me and chased me with a needle and everyone was trying to find me and pin me down, the nurse finally got me with the needle in my foot and I pulled it out and limped up some stairs and into his house and collapsed on his couch and told him what happened, he had held me and I woke up.
It would get to the point every time we touched I felt sensation on various occasions. It would usually be breif like his arm around me or both of us sharing an umbrella at the bottom of "Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump"
Him reoccuring like this drove and still drives me crazy, It make it hard for me to talk to him now in reality cause I see him as who he is when I sleep and I think I creep him out by mumbling and tripping all over my words but all and all I think he understands there is some kinda connection there to but its hard for both of us to bring it up.
Awake//Dreaming experience that sent me chills to the bone::
I was at my now ex's boyfriends house on his bed and he was livng with his mother\
I was laying there while he was watching t.v next to me, I went into a sorta trance, I was thinking so hard about why this guy is always in my dreams and at this point I was trying to be involved with someone and wanted it to stop.
I was thinking to mysself "Why" and the t.v had said something related oddly and everytime I asked a question in my head it was answered through the noises around me. I thought I was over thinking and going a bit nuts so turned off the t.v sure enough radio was doing the same thing. Then I just turned off all the lights and radio and t.v and went back into my trance in bed when I felt a presents and saw his eyes when I closed mine and heard his voice speaking to me telling me to let my boyfriend at the time go because he was no good for me and that I should stop haunting him (as in the reoccuring guy) mentally as if I had a choice he was so far engraved in my thoughts even to this day and I can feel him, his presents and his intentions to touch. After that there was a turning pioint we still cross path I still see him in my dreams but now there is an avoidence he wont hold me and if he does its short and regretted or in my dream he is with some other girl and me and my grandmother have to share a house with both of them. I dunno what anyone has to say and I do have all these dreams recorded if anyone want me to elaborate.

Personally, this doesn't seem like a spiritual problem but a psychological one. I tend to err on the side of physically explainable, however, despite believing in the spiritual so you may want to wait for more answers. Nothing seems to indicate that these are anything but dreams.

Can i ask do you know this person in real life? or is it just a sort of presence who sticks by you and helps you in your dreams but when u wake up you cant remember what they look like? because thats wt im having too check out my latest dream journal, i get this presence helping me in my dreams. its wierd

Yes I do know him. But we are distant friends. He is different in my dreams. I would never confront this person about these things.
