I’m 16, female, and last night I had this super weird dream. My best friend’s boyfriend was in it, and—get this—he kissed my neck. Normally, my dreams are about guys I actually like or have a crush on, but this time, it wasn’t anyone I’ve ever been into.
Instead, it was his face showing up. And the worst part? It wasn’t just a little peck or something innocent. Nope, it was all passionate, like we were together or something. The whole thing felt so real, like we were actually dating.
The craziest thing is, in real life, I think he’s kind of gross. Like, I’ve never seen him in that way, and I’ve even told my friend she could do better. But now, every time I think about the dream, there’s this tiny part of me that wishes it could happen.
Still, I would never do that to my best friend. So why did I dream something like this? And what am I supposed to do with these weird feelings now?
That’s a really confusing dream, and it makes sense that it’s leaving you with mixed feelings. Dreams often bring up emotions or scenarios that don’t always match our waking feelings, and sometimes they help us explore things we’re not fully aware of. In this case, the dream might be pointing to something like hidden curiosity or a desire to explore emotions outside your usual boundaries, even if they don’t make sense in your real-life relationships.
The fact that you’re feeling a bit conflicted about the dream doesn’t mean you actually want something to happen between you and your best friend’s boyfriend—it could just be your subconscious playing out a situation you’ve never thought about consciously. It’s natural to feel confused by dreams that go against your real-life beliefs or values, but they don’t always reflect what you actually want.
As for what to do, just try not to stress over it too much. Dreams often don’t carry meaning beyond what our brains process while we sleep. If the feelings linger, it might help to take a step back and focus on your real-life friendships and what makes you feel good about your relationships.
