What Does It Mean When You Dream About Your Crush?
On average every one of us dreams seven times per night. We might not even realise it, but that doesn’t make it any less true. All too often people don’t realise this and claim to never dream, not realising how statistically unlikely that actually is. Since you’re reading this, I think it’s safe to say however that you’re not one of those people. I’m going to take a shot and say that you remember your dreams quite a lot, perhaps most nights, and I’m going to take another shot and say that a lot of them feature a certain, very special, someone.
But what does it mean when your crush keeps popping up in your dreams? Why is it that he just can’t contain himself to real life, why is he flaunting himself in your dreams too? Here’s your answer…
The Why
‘The why’ in ‘why is your crush dream stalking you?’ is simple – you’re thinking about him in your waking hours and unable to forget about him when you switch off for the night. When we sleep our subconscious gets free reign and in that time it paints us pictures using the people, objects, places and scenarios we’ve been thinking of when we were awake.
There’s not much else to the why, like I said, it’s simple. You’re focussing on him while you’re awake and your subconscious is simply playing on that fact and creating a dream from it.
What It Means
Depending on your beliefs and whether or not you’re superstitious, dreams can either mean nothing or they can mean everything. They can hide clues to the future or your deepest desires or they can simply be nothing more than your mind playing a trick on you. If you don’t believe dreams hold clues to our futures or insights into our souls then I suggest you skip over this section, it may not be for you.
Here’s a few common dreams that may include your crush and what they are commonly interpreted to mean…
To dream you are kissing your crush symbolizes love, affectation and harmony. Your mind is expressing your waking desire to be close to this person and form some sort of attachment, in this case a relationship.
Don’t panic if you and your crush were arguing in a dream. This doesn’t mean you aren’t compatible as a couple. Arguing in a dream can symbolize tension and that you are trying to resolve an internal conflict. In this case, it’s likely your mind trying to tell you how frustrated it is that your crush is nothing more than a crush. It could show that your mind is ready for the two of you to become more than friends.
If you receive a love note or letter in your dream means that there could be a new relationship ahead of you. It also however symbolizes that you are insecure about something and need reassurance about your feelings or relationship. My advice in this situation is to be hopeful but beware, don’t let your insecurities get the better of you.
What To Do About It
On a whole, dreaming of your crush shows that you have an unresolved issue with him in real life, namely that he’s only your crush and not your boyfriend. You need to take action in the real world by attempting to get closer to him to see if a relationship is on the cards or not. Either way, your dreams about him are likely to grow fewer, if not stop altogether, as you start to live out your fantasy of speaking to him in everyday life. Chances are, you’ll be happier for it too. Instead of waking up feeling slightly hollow every morning seeing as your dream was only a dream, you’ll end each day feeling fulfilled that you spoke to him.
Try reading my article How To Get Your Crush To Like You for tips on how to interact with your crush in real life. As much as we’d all like to, we can’t go on dreaming forever. It’s time to stop dreaming and start living so go out there and make your crush fall head over heels for you!

This dream is a sign that you are interested in strengthening your relationship with your crush. It is certainly possible that you have noticed signs that your crush is interested in you as well. Nourish your connection by spending additional time together in person.

These dreams may be indications of your social and emotional desires. The first dream was related to death, which itself is a manifestation of your knowledge of change. The second dream is an indication of your desire to strengthen your connection with him. Speak with him about your thoughts and feelings, and give him an opportunity to share himself with you as well.

SO Ummm I had this dream about my crush. We were sitting next to each other in ELA. He was so close like I could touch his face close. Anyways, he first touched me on the arm and I ignored it. Then he touched my pencil while I was writing but I ignored it. Then he grabbed my hand(to hold it) and I looked at him and he smiled. Then we just ended up holding hands for the rest of the period. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

His behaviors were clear indication that he was interested in maintaining a relationship with you. Physical touch is often a sign of a desire to strengthen a connection. Make a decision about what you want for the future, and speak with him about your thoughts and feelings. Be certain to give him an opportunity to share himself with you as well.

I dreamed I kissed my crush who has a girlfriend last night. It was beautiful and sweet and it left me feeling so depressed in the morning. I’ve dreamed about him a total of like 3 times now since school began in August. I need to get over him to stop hurting in this way.

You are aware that your crush has a partner, so you should allow thoughts of him to fade. Make a decision about what you want for your future without him. If his relationship ends, then speak with him about your thoughts and feelings, if you feel that it would be appropriate for you to do so.

So, i’ve been having a lot of dreams lately about these two boys in my clas. One we’ll call L, and the other B. Basically, L has been my crush since the start of the year, but anyways into the first dream with him!
We were in a zombie apocalypse, probably standing on a dock to sail towards an island and when we got into the island me and my crush just explored the surroundings, later on i went to sit at the tiny dock in the island and i merged my feet on the water, and not many feet away my crush was there, talking with another girl until he saw me looking and came right over to me, he sat down next to me and just randomly pulled out his math homework which i helped him make, close to the end of the dream he just held my hand and said that we were together, then boom, dream ended.
Now with B, I don’t have a crush on him for that long, in fact i think it’s been 3 weeks exactly. Onto the dream!
Basically i’m at B’s house (i’ve never been there irl but my mind just made it up), well, he has a lot of siblings, and these siblings are doing whatever, i don’t exactly remember much, but then B just drags me into a lonely part of his house, we sit there facing eachother and then out of a sudden dream me makes way over to him, sits on his lap, hugs him and then suggestively kisses him, like ????. Can’t remember the rest of the dream, but that kiss felt real, man.
So, any help with those?

The many experiences and interactions that you had in this dream are reflections of your thoughts regarding the people who are in your life. It seems that you should make a decision about what you feel is appropriate. Take this time to determine who you want to speak with first, and share your thoughts and feelings with that person.

This dream seems to be a reflection of various social and emotional aspects of your life. You have not yet spoken with your crush, so you should take this time to determine what you feel is appropriate regarding this relationship. Speak with your crush about your thoughts and feelings, and give her an opportunity to share herself with you as well.

I dreamed about my friend when I fall asleep in the afternoon (since we just got home back from an overnight with my friends)
I dreamed about he’s like too clingy to me. It’s like we’re not yet together but he wants to tell anybody that he likes me. Even my friends cheers for us. But me I got so confused and a little bit shy because it’s really too fast for me. It got butterflies on my tummy but I’m just being shy about his sudden sweet action towards me.
I really don’t know if I like him or what is it just infatuation since he cares a lot about me, giving advices and cheers me up when I’m down. He’s younger than me but we’re classmates. I always say to myself that I won’t like a guy who’s younger than me, but… Ugh i don’t know :3 what do you think is the meaning of my dreams?

October 6, 2019 at 6:57 am
P.S
He likes to put his arms on my shoulder and want to hold my hands , but I kept on saying that I need to go (to work) I always says an alibi to get away from him because I’ve been so embarrassed thinking that maybe my other friends would make fun of me since we’re being so sweet. I kinda like that but I’m just too shy.
What do you think the meaning behind my dreams about my friend?

It is clear that you have strong feelings for him. It seems that you are aware that his behaviors may have indication that he is interested in you as well. You should navigate your feelings at this time, and take whatever action that you feel is appropriate.

Water is often a symbol for change. The person in your dream may be a reflection of your emotional desires. Make a decision about what you want for the future of your relationship. If you want to speak with your crush about your thoughts and feelings, then do so.

So in my previous dream, I was in school and also in the gym. I remember the gym not being that full of people but I was laying down on the floor and I was laying next to my crush. We were having a conversation. I remember as well me laughing in the dream as well as locking my hands with him. And out of nowhere, both of our heads were against each other. I also remember feeling such peace and comfort in the dream. In real life were best friends. I’ve known him for 5-4 months now. Both of us seem to be comfortable around each other, especially me. I am very curious about the dream. What does this mean?

The dream shows a desire to be around your crush. The situation sounds like she is cooking dinner for you and flirting with you, which are probably things that you’d like to happen in real life, so you dreamed that you were in that situation.

In my dream I was walking next to my crush and was holding his hand next thing I know my best friend was holding his other hand. I said in the dream that’s its okay and I’ll get over it and let go of his hand. Then we got to a corner and I saw them kissing and walked away upset but not jealous. Next thing my other best friend comes up to me and I say to her my best friend has betrayed me. The other best friend replied she was acting and wasn’t actually into him. I then asked I if could tell me crush about my best friend acting and so we did. He nodded and then came and kissed me? What does this mean? I should point out in waking life he has a girlfriend but is super flirtatious with me & holds my hand and I’m not jealous I just flirt back a little to make it not awkward. I have feelings for him I just don’t Express it

The dream shows that you are afraid your crush might like someone other than you (not necessarily your friend). You may also be concerned about whether your best friend has your best interests at all. Thankfully, a dream only shows your own subconscious thoughts and feelings, so it is unlikely that this is what is going to happen in real life.

In my dream I often see one of my close friend, who had proposed me to which I denied.. But now I want to talk to him as I do feel for him but now a days he does not talk to me but In my dream I regularly see that he is calling me over phone and we are unable to speak due to some network problem…

Your friend proposed to you, and you denied that action. Your feelings for him are growing, so you may want to make a decision about what you want for your future. If you want to nourish a relationship with him, then speak with him about your thoughts and feelings. Give him an opportunity to share himself with you as well.

The dream shows the kind of relationship you would like to have with them. Unfortunately, it is impossible for a dream to show how someone else thinks or feels in real life unless you already know how they feel. The only way to find out if your crush likes you or not is to make a move and see what happens. Good luck!

Hi. I had a dream about my crush too. It was just last night. I was so curious that I have dream about him for the first time. I have related myself to your article, as to why I dream of him. A girl classmate revealed in front of me and him that he has a crush on me, and he just smiled while only said “Oh? Really? I mean, that’s completely fine with me.” And we all ended up being silent for a while. I can’t forget about it when i got home and ended up stalking his Facebook last night before I sleep.
I was just so curious as to what is the meaning of my dream. I have dream that we are on the same house. We are still students though. Preparing for school, after i took a bath and i started wearing my uniform one by one. I’m wearing my pants but i am still topless because i was about to get my blouse when he entered the room. We are both shocked. In my surprise, i faced my back at him, while he embarrassingly said an apology for entering without knocking. But he reassured me right after, saying, “It’s okay… I mean, I don’t wish to see you half-naked. I was about to get an extra shirt. You know, uhm.. I completely forgot that you’re still here from last night. It used to be empty. So uhm.. I hope you won’t get mad?” Then after that i woke up. I forgot what happened after that. I felt that the dream was so short when I wake up, but probably a long one. I just can’t remember it all. I hope you can give me a hint what does that mean?

The dream you just had shows how you wish that he would respond to you, and it also shows your desire to tell him how you feel. The other dreams reflect the fact that you think about him frequently and wish that he would like you back. Unless you already know how he feels, it is impossible for your dreams to show his thoughts or feelings because they only show your own subconscious thoughts. You can always hope though!

Hello so I’ve recently had a lot of dreams about my crush and it always has us dating or getting to know each other…Like today I had a dream that he asked my for my number and I accepted and later on we started dating and we would sit next to each other at lunch and wanted to show everyone that we were dating ..The dream took place at school for the most part and he would have basketball games and if they lost something would happen to me????So he made sure that they won every time…I also was late to class a couple of times for some reason but our relationship was very good..He always let me know where he was and so did I ..We trusted each other…What does this mean?

Your dreams are indications of the strength of your social and emotional relationship with your crush. It is possible that the actions within the dream are manifestations of your desires. He may be interested in maintaining a relationship with you as well. Make a decision about what you want for your future, and speak with him about your thoughts and feelings. Nourish this relationship by spending additional time with him in person.

I dreamt about my crush last night (he is my tutor at university). I’ve barely talked to him before until yesterday, I decided to take a step and go ask him questions about my current subject. It was so awkward! (And I know it’s impossible for us to be in anything because he is my teacher.)
After, I dreamt about him. We were at some sort of concert, and he happened to sit next to me. I was awkward but we talked and I felt my hand brush against his. It felt as though we were getting closer in my dream. I guess, is my dream replicating my feelings of wanting to get closer?

Also, before this, I’ve had a lot of weird dreams about him too. One of my dreams, I imagined that one of my close friends also liked him, so I let go of my feelings (in real life my friends don’t even know much about him.)
And another dream, I imagined that he was married and that I liked him but I couldn’t do anything because he was taken (in real life I don’t think he is married).

These other aspects of your dreams are indications of your concerns regarding your various social relationships. It seems that you were concerned about the relationship between your ex and your friend. Similarly, the marriage aspect of the dream could be a sign that you noticed his attention was elsewhere. Focus your emotional energy elsewhere, if you have concerns about what he wants for the future.

You are aware that this relationship may not be viable due to your relationship in regards to your studies. However, when you are no longer part of this course, you may make a decision based on the social and professional influences that are in your life. Continue to treat him as your tutor, and manage your relationship in a reasonable manner. In the future, you may want to speak with him about your thoughts and feelings.
