A dream about aging, about sickness, about gender identity, and about new family members - a powerful dream indeed. Now what does it mean to you? I don't know you well enough to know that - I do believe that ultimately only you can interpret that dream, we can only provide you ideas, brainstorm with you, and if any of them sound right to you, feel free to incorporate them into your self-interpretation, but if not feel free to discard.
Whenever I have a dream when I am not myself actually, it often suggests to me that either there were some powerful emotions in that dream or something that made me uncomfortable, and thus I wanted to distance myself from it. Or at other times it is a sign that things are not what they appear: I at times have metaphorical dreams, where things stand for something else, and often when I am not myself, that is a clue for me to look at what else is not itself. Another possibility is that the dream is actually not about myself but about someone else who I just happen to identify with in the dream. Sometimes it's like a movie or a novel and I am an actress playing a role in it: and sometimes I think that is mainly for entertainment - I like watching movies and reading fiction, so sometimes my dreamlife provides me some of that, too.
The aging of the friend could be your wondering what is going to become of him or of you in the future. You are 17? That's an age which is kind of like a crossroads, so much could happen, so much will, and there are so many possibilities ahead of you. Who knows what you or any of your friends will be like say 20 years from now? But part of you might wonder that.
Hugging the sick girl could be a sign of compassion, a sign that you are basically a nice person, and the girl acknowledges that, but this makes you uncomfortable. I believe it is rather normal for especially young men such as yourself to be uncomfortable in situations where too many emotions are displayed, especially by a member of the opposite sex no matter how young or old. Yes, in the dream you were supposedly a girl, but deep down of course you remained a guy, and continued to think and feel like a guy your age, and thus being uncomfortable when a girl calls you her new sister.
Does any of that sound right to you? If not, please disregard as mentioned before.
