What does it mean when you dream about someone you never think about?

Question

Ive been having this guy I went to school with and had a mad crush on in middle school. He's in my dreams almost every night! I never think about him anymore! The last time I even saw him was about a year ago and we just talked a lil and that was it! What could it possibly mean? Both of our lives have really changed he's in college and im married and 29 weeks pregnant! So why would I be dreaming about him.

Answer 1

As you seem to understand, our dreams are symbolic only of our own thoughts, and not something we can look up like definitions in a dictionary of dreams. I would just guess that this guy represents an area of your life, or a time of your life, that your subconscious is looking at more regularly right now and making some final judgments about how you will remember it, since it's obviously over. It could be that consciously you realize you're moving on in your life from the time in your life symbolized by when you also felt so strongly about this person; the person may be more a symbol of that time that a symbol of your current interest in HIM. Our dreams deal with our memories, and our memories are not discrete little bodies of information, but they are related to other memories, so your dreams may be subconsciously dealing with a time of your life, and the face that your brain can put on that time that has the most emotion tied to it is this guy's. Our strongest memories are always tied to strong emotion. That strong emotion may be the "thread" that enables you to pull up that whole time of your life in your memories.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

It means he is in your subconcious. Very common, and does not mean much of anything except that you may be fond of him in a superficial way. You are married, so you would be wise to not dream of him while you're awake.

Answer 3

Maybe they're a quality in him that you would like in yourself. If he had no face that means that you need to pay a little attention to your male side. Someone with a face that you recognized means there's something about that person you wish you had. Maybe it's his personality, kindness, populatity etc.
