Well, understand that if you do see him in your dream world, it is just a manifestation of your own mind. I think it's fine if you want to lucid dream and find him. Anything thing he says to you will really be you talking to yourself, and any love you feel will be you loving yourself.
Learning to love yourself is more important than loving someone else. If you have emotional issues like anxiety, loving yourself will help that. You cannot love someone else before you love yourself.
You acknowledge that you love an illusion. That is more real that people that love illusion without being aware of the fact that the object of their love is an illusion.
Example: A person who loves money. Money is an idea that we collectively agree upon, therefore illusion. The person who loves money may be aware they love money. They may even say, "I love money." But, they are not aware that money is illusion.
Another Example: A person who is in love with someone they have never spoken to. If you have never spoken to someone, there is no way you can know them well enough to really love them. But, you fantasize about your ideal mate, and your mind fills in all the gaps to make them perfect, when they have flaws just like the rest of us. They are not in love with the person. They are in love with an idealized version of them, a fantasy, therefore an illusion.
I don't think being in love with a video game character is any sillier than being in love with a celebrity, or someone you see every day but never talk you. I have felt more stronger emotional bonds toward video game characters in RPG's than ones in movies. You play the game for hours. You watch the characters develop. You listen to hours and hours of conversation. Your subconscious does not discern between fantasy and reality.
The video game character is a manifestation of what a someone thought a good and noble person should be. That person's ideal matches your ideal, so there are people in the world that think like you.
Recognize the illusory nature of dream and waking life. I say embrace the one you love in your dreams, and realize he is you.
