What does it mean when you dream about a girl you barely even know?

Question

I had a dream about this girl who I only knew from an english class i had freshman year. I didn't know anything about her except her name. The summer between sophomore and junior year I had a dream about her. She looked beautiful and I fell in love. The problem is I never thought about her between the time i had class with her til the dream. I never even talked to her in person. and yet i feel a strong connection with her and want to be with her.

Its puzzling to me as to why i randomly had a dream about a girl 2 years after i first met her especially when i never talked to her or had a single thought about her.

Answer 1

To see people you don't know in your dream, denotes hidden aspects of yourself that you need to confront.

To see people from your past in your dream, refers to your shadow and other unacknowledged aspects of yourself. It can represent a waking situation that is bringing out similar feelings as your past relationships.

To see a stranger in your dream, symbolizes the part of yourself that is repressed and hidden.  

To dream of love of being in love, suggests intense feelings carried over from a waking relationship. It implies happiness and contentment with what you have and where you are in life. On the other hand, you may not be getting enough love in your daily life. We naturally long for the sense to belong and to be accepted.  

I really don't know why you feel a connection with her. She must have made some impression on you.

Answer 2

My friend is having this same thing happen to him. You just have feelings for this person, or are curious about them. It is most likely that ur emotitons developed, and you eventually wanted this person.

Answer 3

You gave a lot of history about this girl but you really didn't say what the dream was about so it can't be interpreted. However, once you have seen someone, it is forever in your subconscious mind so dreaming about her, taken by itself, doesn't mean anything. If you could tell about the dream itself, in detail, you could get a better idea of what's going on.

Answer 4

Things or item or even people can flash into your subconscious mind and become symbols.

In your case, this girl in your dream could be literally your desire, but it is definitely a symbol of what you are looking.  You are looking for close relationship and in translation, you may be feeling lonely at the moment and that is why you dream about her.
