First of all, school seems to leave a permanent imprint on people: we dream of school even once we are adults many years out of school. So there is nothing unnatural about having school dreams even once one is not in school any more, and these dreams might not stop or they might come back even decades after. My boss who is in his sixties has told me that he at times has dreams of being back in school. School years are very formative years in many ways: they are a time during which we learn not only school stuff but how to live and who to become; we learn social lessons and psychological and moral lessons. School often is either a time to be nostalgic about (before life's responsibilities, where relationships were still just crushes and thus simpler) or a time that sucked so much that it is what our nightmares are made of (a time when noone understood us and we were lost and uncertain, etc.). Either way, school leaves an imprint in one way or another.
Why are you still dreaming of that girl? I do not know. But perhaps the following questions might help you figure it out. Are you currently in a relationship? If yes, are you happily in a relationship. If no, do you wish you were. Is it complicated? What is it that you liked about that girl? Why did you have that crush? Could she stand for something in your mind? Do you have regrets about that - wishing you could have handled it better, that something had happened between the two of you? What if scenarios?
The truck having a web on it, might symbolize that you feel stuck somehow. Almost being run over may symbolize a near miss very bad situation, an accident waiting to happen, or something else entirely of course (just brainstorming here, but there are many options). I think it may be significant that it seemed to you like your friend wanted to leave you, so there is an impending threat of being left alone in a dangerous situation. The crush being in that car, may be symbolic for the dangerous situation being one about a relationship, maybe.
In the next dream, you are alone in a social situation, feeling all alone in a crowd, feeling ignored. It is interesting however that unlike the other people, your crush actually is trying to get your attention, so at least someone is not ignoring you, which may be good all told. One nifty trick that other people who were into dream interpretation have taught me is to look at other dream characters as also symbolizing oneself, another aspect of oneself. So if you look at it that way, maybe there is a part of you that is trying to get your attention, a part of you that loves you, and kisses you, and yet you reject that part of you at this time because you think it is just a dream. Of course, it is a dream, but that part of you may well be very real and be desperately trying to get your attention in a positive way if you would just accept her/yourself.
Note: if this makes no sense, please disregard.
