I'm really new to this site, a few years back I browsed this, and many other site's looking for, well, I don't know, maybe some closure & understanding about what has happened in my dreams.

Every so often in dreams, maybe once or twice every fortnight, there'll be a girl, who as far as I know, I have never met nor held a conversation with in life, has interacted with me. Nothing sexual, just merely things like hugging, the odd kiss, and generally just hanging out & doing stuff together. During these dreams, I have the need for them to be with me constantly, for them to guide me through things. When they go in the dream, I feel down, unwanted & miserable. And when I wake up? I feel the exact same.

I'm only 16, however, i'm very mature for my age. I have a job, which I think is helping me grow up a lot more too.
I've had a couple of idea's about why this is happening, here they are;

I've never had a long, serious relationship, so now i'm looking for someone to come into my life and never leave.
I'm wanting to settle down (Not get married, have kids etc) but have a down to earth, genuine relationship that can help give me a sense of purpose and importance.

What do you think?
Thanks for listening.
