Had a really interesting and vague dream of unrelated things, with a huge twist

A few nights ago I had a very odd dream. It was about a girl that I was once very interested in when I was in Junior High/High School, though was never in a relationship with her.

I was at the dining hall of my old church, and she was there. Somehow it was implied that she had broken up with her boyfriend, someone who she had been dating for awhile. In this very short timespan in the church, we developed a relationship and became in love with eachother, in a soul mate kind of way.

While this happens, she tells me she is dying of cancer, and I notice that the skin on her arm has a very pale look, and I can see veins and a greenish tint on it. The moments we are together seem like years, but in reality it is only a few hours, and in the end she dies from the cancer.

This is one of those dreams that seems so real, and had a very huge impact on my emotions after I woke up - so much so that I can still feel what I felt in the dream in terms of the love bond and everything. It was intense almost to the point that I wanted to cry.

What's weird because I really haven't seen her in a few years, and haven't thought about her very much at all for longer than that.

Here's the crazy part. After I had this dream I decided to find her on Facebook, and I saw that her dad had passed away from an organ failure not even a WEEK prior. The fact that I had this dream and had no knowledge of this prompted me to post it on here and get other peoples take on it.

I'm not really looking for a fortune teller here, just different people take on this and maybe some interpretation of what it might mean on a psychological (and possibly spiritual) perspective.

The church symbolizes you looking for an answer about what is right. The girl symbolizes some aspect of your personality. It's based on the one thing that stands out the most about her. Her breaking up with her boyfriend would symbolize another aspect of your personality that isn't around around. It separated from whatever she represents.

She dies of cancer to symbolize whatever she is mentally or emotionally wasting away in your mind. Slowly being overcome by negative thoughts and emotions.
