I fell in love... in a dream.

I had a dream a few hours ago, and I can't stop thinking about it. I won't go into the details -- it was a crazy, complicated dream -- but I fell in love with a guy, who was then hit by a car. When he woke up from the coma, I realized I was in love with him, and I just remember hugging him so tightly all night and sobbing because I had almost lost him.

When I woke up, I felt this huge loss. I don't miss him, but I miss that feeling. I can still almost feel my arms around me. I've never been in love before (I'm still in HS) but I don't thinking I've ever felt like that before -- it wasn't just an infatuation. It was genuine love and deep, passionate caring, like our souls understood each other. Maybe I'm just touch starved.

Anyway. I know I sound crazy. I'm sorry for my rambling. But has anyone else experienced this?

Crazy intense relationship dream that feels like a lifetime

Anyone ever had a dream where you're completely in love with someone and the entire relationship plays out through it? I just had the 2nd one I've ever had.
The first one was just a fictitious girl. She didn't actually exist. But this one is girl I know and have had a crush on as well.

Anyway dudes, I am reeling from the intensity of it. It feel like I've been asleep for 20 years. Like I have to discard these visceral, powerful memories because they're essentially nothing. It almost feels like I'll never be able to get over this.

Of course parts of me wants to just tell this girl about it but seems like a lame thing to do honestly. I'm pretty sure she has a bf these days and I don't know what the purpose would even be. Probably just a selfish thing to do.

The only place I thought I could share this with is reddit so hopefully some of you guys know the feeling. It's really depressing but I'm trying to appreciate the fact that life can even make you feel this way, especially in a dream.

Very dramatic dream about covid

I was standing in a very crowded room with hundreds of other people. We were all wearing masks and everyone was silent. Then suddenly I coughed, and everyone gasped while turning to look at me. I realised that they all thought I had covid, and so I fell to my knees while yelling “NOOO I JUST CHOKED ON MY SPIT!!!” (but I hadn’t choked on my spit). But then everyone started yelling “GO AWAY!!! BE GONE!!! GET OUT OF HERE!!!” and I was like “NOOO PLEASE NOOO!!! I JUST CHOKED!!! PLEASE NO!!!”. It was incredibly dramatic, like I was being shunned. It was pretty scary in the dream, because I was so desperate, but when I woke up I kinda laughed at how overly dramatic it was. I don’t know what to make of this dream though...

I had a dream about a random girl...then met her two weeks later.

1. This is probably overdramatic
2. I'm not gonna act upon anything, I just need to tell someone. It's been messing with me lol

Three weeks ago, I had a dream where I fell in love with a girl. She was beautiful, freckles with long brown hair, and she liked the same things I did. She was a gamer like me. The next day I thought about the dream and looked into the meaning. Apparently, falling in love with a stranger means you are longing for a partner. Anyways, two weeks later I go to the family cabin. My cousin is there, and has brought his new step sisters. And there she is. She looks close enough to the description, and likes Minecraft. LIKE ME. It wasn't a 1 to 1 match, but close enough. It's so weird. It's been living rent free in my head for longer than I would like.

Anyways thanks for reading. Have a good day/night!

dreamt of Lucifer being a god & God being the devil

i had a dream where i was driving to my grandmother’s house & looked up at the sky to see Lucifer was in the sky and God was basically in hell. Lucifer’s horns were the shape of clouds but he was still in heaven and then God was on fire, so he was in hell (in my dream— i’m trying to be more specific about how it was). we all know it’s the other way around in real life and yet in my dream it was the opposite. and then as i was driving, God begins to chase our car and then he turns back around— he “turns his back on me” as i thought in the dream. i woke up from this dream at exactly 4:44AM. what could this possibly mean? i do believe in God. i pray to him all the time and he blesses me so i am quite confused, although as of lately i have been questioning Him but who doesn’t ??? but i also believe in the Universe— i practice spirituality, all the while believing in the Christian God because that is how things work for me. i have never had a dream of such entities until tonight and i am a bit afraid to go back to sleep because i don’t want to dream it again... if anyone could maybe give me insight on what this could POSSIBLY mean, please please let me know.
