What does it mean if you CONSTANTLY, and I mean constantly dream about someone you have feelings for? I've been dreaming about him for the past week and a half, but he has absolutely no clue that I have feelings for him. Actually, I'm not even sure if I have "feelings" for him. Some days I do, and some days I don't just because the way he acts towards me. But I have been constantly dreaming about him. Can anyone tell about this?

Thanks Hot Coco, but I don't think its lust, I highly doubt it, because I don't even lust when I'm awake, but you were right about everything else. I am very shy and I just sit back and I don't tell him I like him. We do talk ocassionally, but nothing other than that.

Yeah, it means you like him. So unless you're an assertive person and are going to ask him out and see what becomes of it, just drop it cos you're not even sure if you like him, right? But you really do, so just sit and wait. If he likes you too he'll ask you out. Otherwise you're just lusting and having a dream about the first person to come to mind, and you'll stop and wonder what the hell you ever thought about him for.

It "means" you're thinking about this person during the day, but you already know that. The repetition almost certainly means you're having trouble sorting out how you feel about that person.
But you know that, too.
Any further interpretation would be sheer guesswork, because:
The purpose of dreams, as far as we understand them, is to process the vast amount of information that comes in through your senses each day whilst you're awake.
On this basis the "meaning" of your dreams is simply that you are making sense of information which previously didn't have a "meaning", for you, because it hadn't been processed so as to fit into your mental maps of the world (all your existing beliefs, ideas, values, etc.).
Given what seems to be going on, it's not really surprising that lots of things appear in your dreams that have nothing to do with what has been happening in your life just before the dream occurs. Things can appear in your dreams that have been part of your memories as far back as you started forming memories - or anytime in between then and now.
Nor do the things in your dreams have to be obviously related to each other. Like I said, dreaming is a process of finding/making meaning, and the brain can draw from anywhere in its huge store of memories in order to carry out that process.
By the way, there is nothing random about this process, but your subconscious mind can come up with connections that your conscious mind would never dream of (!), which is why dreams often seem pretty weird.
So when, if ever, you happen to notice yourself having what seems like a weird dream in future you can literally rest assured that everything is OK. Your brain is actually doing, with great skill, one of the jobs it was designed to do

It depends on what he's doing in your dream. But my guess is, you have feelings for him and you're unconscious is trying to make you realize it.
