Dreams creating romantic feelings?

Long story short, last night I had a dream about a girl at school I hadn't particularly felt any feelings for before. But that changed.. I can't stop thinking about her now?! What do I do?

Ask her out, I suppose.

Or watch Bob Ross and go totally zen.

Mario92, your input is appreciated but before making a decision I will await further input.

*shrug*

If you like her, you like her. Don't see how that happening because of a dream is any different. Follow Mario's advice if you think you've got a shot.

Okay thankyou. I'll be more friendly toward her in the following weeks.

This is why I think SEX, and ROMANCE in dreams can be a problem ( especially for those who are in a relationship ). If you have dreams where you are romantically involved in another person ( other than your partner ), I think it would be a VERY real possibility for problems, as you may develop feelings for another person ( especially if the person who you're dreaming of exists in your real like, like a co worker )

But, in THIS situation. I say if you're single, and you like the girl.. Talk to her and see what happens. The worst that can happen is it not work out. But, life goes on. If she turns you down, just date her in your dreams. HAHA JUST KIDDING ( Thats gotta be unhealthy )

Count yourself lucky it wasn't a total stranger and it was total love in the dream. Those dreams are torture when you wake up and recall said dream!

rookybeats, I've had those... just find her again the next time you're lucid

And to the OP, keep us updated!

Hmmmmmm.

Well, I think dreams can mislead us. Sure, we'll dream of people we like. But I think that strong feeling of really wanting to be with someone is always going to be with us whether it has a nice person to attach to or not. That's why we feel so heartbroken when we wake from these dreams (as others have said).

In my experience it helps to welcome these dreams and the feelings. The heartbreak gives way to joy at seeing your dream girl each time "she" appears - and will probably take a different form each time. I have also found welcoming the dream has helped me in real life relationships too, so in fact BmDubb's warning is also a positive affect if you accept the dream for what it is - an expression of your own capacity to be in love.
