i fell in love...?

Hi im bernis 20 year old guy, been single for about almost 2 yrs.

Had a dream where I fell in love with a girl. There wasn't any sex involved or anything but the feelings i felt where so real and vivid. And the weirdest thing is that i know this girl, havent seen her in a while but she use to be a good friend of mine back in jr high. But when I woke I felt so depressed. I was sad aat the fact that it was just a dream and it was like my mind played a cruel trick on me. I never want to have that kind of dream again.
After this experience i think that if i were to see her in person my heart would skip a beat. I went to her facebook profile and even felt butterflies in my stomach just to see her its just so weird cause i never felt like that before about her or i never considered her in the past.. she is not bad shes a cute lady her name is LORENA, and back when i met her probably 5 yrs ago, i was hooking up with her cousin.


DETAILS
ive had been dreaming in the past maybe 2 or 3 times about a girl that appeared in my dreams and even with my ex several times, but never like this one before. All i can remember is the last bits of the dream, i remember being inside a house at night with two friends of mine (girls which i cant remember who they were, i dont think i even knew them), they where telling me that a girl was in love with me they would giggle and didnt want to say who, they said that if give one of them a kiss they would say who(it ran trough my mind to have sex with this girls). I denied and tried to guess who that girl was, for some reason they ended up telling me who she was(at this point i didnt know who she was yet until i saw her and all my feelings were neutral.) They said she was going to come around the next day, so i stayed there until early in the morning(right after this the next day came so fast. i was exited and really curious to know who she was), when she appeared i saw who she was, and i went up to her and told her that i would have never expected her to like me so i tell her that i like her too(because i know she is pretty) and we start to kiss and cuddle and all that lovely stuff no sex involved thou.. after that kiss i just had the best feeling ever i was in love with her.(the present at that moment was amazing i was in heaven, felt sooo good maybe words cant even describe how i felt, the sun was so beautiful in the morning it was an open area like in a ranch.) Right after i kissed her i was about to tell her how much i loved her and ask her out. and i woke up!. :(


Anyone know what it means or can help me understand this?

Hello xXbernisXx! How are you?

First I have some questions for you...

How long has it been since you actually saw or spoke to this girl? Why not drop her a line on facebook, get back in touch with her, even if it is just on a friendly level?

Expressing feelings in a dream is a way for your mind to experience them in a safe way, a safe haven. Sometimes certain emotions we dream about actually applies to the opposite in our waking lives, for instance feeling happiness in a dream is due in part to make up for what is actually lacking in our waking life...its sort of a defense that our minds allow for us when we are resting. So with the happiness thing, it could be compensatory for sadness or stress in the waking life.

The kiss is symbolic of love, affection, tranquility, harmony and contentment in general. Kissing a friend in a dream, it may represent respect and adoration you have for that person. One may be seeking some intimate closeness that is lacking some waking relationship. (From the sounds of it you are in need of or are ready for a close connection with someone, wanting to share parts of your life with another person.)

Hope this helps a lil, good luck ~ peace!

Why is it we always wake up just as the "love" becomes so good. The intensity of the feeling perhaps?

Well, the love feeling does seem to be a strong one, and often stronger in dreams than in waking life. Hard to know whether the feeling or the object comes first. Could be that you started feeling "love" and the dream imagery followed. Or was it the other way around?

Anyway, I'm not a huge fan of connecting dream people to real people. I would say that the dream mostly reveals to you your capacity to love, but not necessarily this person. Just as in waking life, the fantasy and the reality is often quite different, and the dream is often the better of the two! As Steph says, link up with her and test this out. But don't assume she'll reciprocate because she really isn't the person in your dream! On the other hand, you may just find things work out! [1]

I'm sure you'll have many more love dreams and I would say enjoy them for what they are. In waking life you may find that by bringing this dream to mind, you'll be more aware of your love feelings and how they are the product of your mind and not conjured up by another person.

I've had dreams like this already, girls I barley know, girls I know really well...and it sucks I agree lol. But I honestly think (in my opinion) these dreams represent the want for someone. You said you've been single for about 2 years? I mean that's a long time even for me I'm 16 but none the less being single that long does suck. Just my take man. Hope it helps.
