Last night I had a very lucid dream, it has shaken me so much I cannot stop thinking about it, and I am hoping someone here might kindly offer some explanation or interpreatation.
For a bit of background info, I am not a regular lucid dreamer, I can probably count on two hands the number I have had in my adult life, but this one has really got to me.

Basically, in my dream there was a man. In my dream I was aware he was from my past, I knew him very well, he was deeply familiar to me. He was a very good friend and in my dream it was the first time I realised how much I LOVED him, like romantically, and I was completely in awe that this man had been there all along and I hadn't realised quite how amazing he is. There was a point in the dream where we watched an old video tape of he and I laughing and stuff, and I was thinking, wow, he is so amazing and nice and I can't believe he is here now. He was just lovely, calm, warm, caring, I felt very safe and at ease with him, I felt whole. Even whilst I was dreaming I was aware it was a dream and I was trying to figure out how I knew him and where I would be able to find him when I woke up. Nothing romantic or sexual happenned in the dream, at one point I hugged him and the feel of his arms around me felt so incredible that despite waking up there is still a trace of that amazing feeling.

As I explained, he was deeply familiar to me, I have never felt to comfortable and happy to be with someone in all my life. Anyway, upon waking, I don't know who this man is. I don't think I have ever met him before and I actually feel sad about this! I mean really sad and just pissed off about the whole thing. A dream has never affected me this way before, it is so strange.

What was this? What does it mean? I feel a bit stupid saying this, but I want to find this person!
