Okay this feels silly and self-indulgent, but I'm a girly-girl and it's been bothering me: If you have romantic (ish) dreams about someone you know, is that like your true feelings for them, their true feelings for you, or a combination of both? Or I could be reading too far into my dreams

It's not silly at all, or maybe it is... anyhoo, I get them as well and I'm convinced that they're simply my feelings. I could just be a pessimist but I'd rather not get my hopes up cos I'd really rather not get my heart broken again

I think its possible to share dreams. But when it comes to deeper feelings involving love I never let myself think it's a shared dream. It can only cause pain if you run away with yourself and it turns out you were wrong.
Something else I wouldn't do is let your dreams tell you how you feel. You say its someone you know, and you had a dream with a romantic air... Do you feel that way to them already? I mean.. I've been having a dream where I had to smoke, chainsmoke, but I'm not going to let that make me take up a bad habit and get hurt.
If you already felt that way to them I would tell them if they don't know already.

I think its possible to share dreams. But when it comes to deeper feelings involving love I never let myself think it's a shared dream. It can only cause pain if you run away with yourself and it turns out you were wrong. At this point I'd like to add...my ex and I once shared a dream, where he told me he loved me, and I whispered it back. My ex. 'Nuff said. ...Have you been thinking about this guy romantically for a while? It could just be that it's manifested in your mind, and your subconscious is simply expressing that. ...Always remember, dreams are almost NEVER literal. It doesn't necessarily mean feelings about anyone, it could in a roundabout way mean something that has nothing to do with him. Example: last night I drempt of a white cat that was a Hurricane Katrina survivor...I wanted to take it home with me...and then it started being mean right before I did. ...The interpretation I got from that was just a note of how I'm accepting of the world, and allow things to happen on its terms, allow it to flow at its own pace, even if I don't agree with it. Nothing to do with cats, nothing to do with Katrina. ...Furthermore...I don't know how much you know this person...but some people interpret dreams about other people you know well...as an aspect of yourself. ...So, think about what you think of when you think of this person, something about them...and see how it fits into your own self. ...Maybe it's in some wierd way saying that you love that part of yourself? ...SO many different ways it could be interpreted. Don't get ahead of yourself. The key to any dream is the old saying, "Know Yourself." Know the situation you're in, find all the puzzle pieces, and see how they fit with what's going on in your life currently.

I've shared dreams with people sometimes, like the person I'm currently in love with lives in Kuwait which is on the other side of the world, but sometimes we'll have conversations in our dreams that we both remember.
Honestly, I think when you dream of having a romantic "circumstance" with someone you know, it probably expresses just the unspoken idea of it in your head. Like maybe your best friend has a brother who you had a good conversation with once, and even though you don't see him in a romantic way, the thought has crossed your mind, and then later on you have a dream where maybe that subconscious idea or impression rises to the surface. Honestly, I think it's normal for people of the opposite sex to have "romantic" dreams of each other no matter what the relationship is in real life, it's just something naturally ingrained in our biology. Our hormones and bodily functions to affect our dreams on some levels.
Just my idea. =)
