I had a dream a while back that's been nagging at me, and I really am curious as to it's meaning.

The Background Story: I have a very good friend whom I've had a crush on for several years, and have never gotten up the nerve to tell him. At times I think I'm recieving signs from him that he feels the same about me, but I'm not 100% sure and lack the courage to find out. I see and talk to him every day, and we're excellent friends.

The Dream: I had this dream that I was in a very old house. It was decorated in a very old style, with lots of dark wood paneling. The wallpaper and upholstery that I saw was all very dark blue - sort of like the sky right before it turns black at night.

The house was very very large - it was like a Victorian mansion - and I was wandering all through it, attempting to find something (I don't know what). I came across my best friend, cooking shrimp (which she hates) in the kitchen, but she was unable to leave the stove to assist me in my search, so I went onward.

My search became frantic - I was running through the very large house, trying deperately to find this item, which I thought to be absolutely necessary. I eventually opened the door to the linen closet, and instead of shelves and linens found a swimming pool inside.

The person that I like came out, dressed in black swim trunks, completely soaked and rather hypothermic, I think, as he was shivering, his teeth were chattering, and he was turning a little blue. Compeley ignorant fo that, I asked if he would assist me in my search. He grew until he was ten feet tall, pulled a handgun out of nowehere, shot me, and then agreed very nicely (as though he hadn't just shot me) to help.

Does anyone know what this might mean? I'm so very confused!
