What Does It Mean to Dream About a Guy You’ve Never Met?
Different people will have different ideas when it comes to dreams. There are some people who believe that dreams are just your mind’s way of getting you to think of something, remember something, or tell you something. A hidden and secret language that your mind understands, but the rest of you doesn’t.
Other people believe that dreams are just that — a dream. Something that the mind puts together, while you are sleeping. A glitch, perhaps? Usually, nothing to pay too much attention to.
Dreams (and sleeping, as a whole) have been studied pretty extensively by scientists, eager to learn about what happens not just to the body, but also to the mind, when you close your eyes. These studies seem to suggest a theory that you can’t ‘make up’ an entirely brand new person, in your head, so that person that you dream of MUST be someone that you have seen or met at least once before. This doesn’t mean that you might have had a conversation with them, or even interacted with them in anyway, but just that you have seen them somewhere, at some time, and they are now featuring in your dreams — your subconscious. You may have bumped past them in the shopping mall, or maybe even just been on the same bus as him one day. Whatever the case, if you believe these experts, you will always dream of someone that you have come across already.
What Does It Mean to Dream About a Guy You’ve Never Met?
Before you look into the interpretational meaning about dreaming of someone you’ve never met, you must first take a closer look into what is actually happening, in the dream.
If you are flirting with the guy you’ve never met in your dream, it would suggest that you are lacking some form of affection or intimacy in your life. Some dream experts even believe that you could be embarking on a brand new relationship in the near future, almost as if your dream were predicting the future for you. This doesn’t mean that you are going to get into a relationship with the person in question (the guy in the dream), however.
If you are already in a relationship with someone else and you dream of a guy you like but have never met, it could be a sign that your current relationship is missing something, probably affection, intimacy, the flirting that you experienced when you first started dating, and that you’re looking for it somewhere else.
Sticking with the theme of being in a relationship, if you dream that you are single (and the guy you’ve met is in the dream), it doesn’t mean that you should BE single. This is not your mind’s way of telling you to break up with your current BAE and jump ship to the new guy (who you’ve never met), but it does mean that, once again, something is missing for you. In this scenario, rather than missing out on the intimacy or affection, you could be feeling overpowered — missing out on the power. Perhaps you aren’t standing up for yourself in a situation where you should?
If you’re dreaming about the guy you’ve never met and he materializes in a ‘secret admirer’ form, there IS a chance that your subconscious is telling you that you’re missing out on something, once again, but this time, you’re missing out on something that is happening around you. It could be that the guy you’ve never met likes you, but you just haven’t picked up on those signals yet. At the same time, it could also mean that something else is going on around you — NOT related to your love life — that you haven’t yet picked up on. You need to wake up and open your eyes to your surroundings. It’s your head’s way of telling you to pay attention to something.
In Conclusion:
Although it might be very nice to think that you’re dreaming of the love of your life in your dream, there’s a much higher chance that your dreams are telling you that you’re missing out on something in yourself. Your subconscious is making you aware that you’re lacking in intimacy or affection, or that you’re not getting something that you need from your current relationship or single status. Dreaming of a guy you’ve never met (and really liking him) when you’re single is usually a sign that you’re ready to date, or maybe that you’re missing the closeness you would feel when happily coupled up.
If you’re dreaming of a guy you’ve never met when you in a relationship already, don’t be too quick to jump ship into what looks like the better option. This new guy might seem like a dream come true, but dream’s rarely come true in ‘real life’, and the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Dreaming about someone else when you’re already part of a couple is a sign that you need to pay attention to what’s going on there, not invite someone else into the mix.

I had a dream last night about this guy, that was, you know, just perfect, even though I feel too young to be in a relationship, he was called Marcus, even though I’ve never really met any one called Marcus, except for this guy in my debate class, but he is totally different. His last name was something like Flint, but Marcus Flint is someone in Harry Potter, and I watched (and read) Harry Potter a few years ago so, there’s probably not a link in that, he looked sort of like a very young version of Zac Efron or something, and he was really nice and I felt really happy in the dream, I found out his name just last night, he used to come in my dreams and be all affectionate and stuff. I do remember smelling scents like roses, but there aren’t any roses in our house and I haven’t smelled a rose in a few months. I sorta liked him though,
Anyways, he dream felt really good.

This dream seems to be a reflection of various qualities that you may find attractive in a partner. It is certain that the various influences in your life have colored this dream. Take this time to determine what you want for your future. If there is someone that you want to nourish a relationship with, then speak with that person about your thoughts and feelings.

last night I had a dream that there was a boy living in my house but I didn’t know all I know was his eyes were so beautiful and calming that even you would’ve wanted to see him all day.Although neither have I met the boy before niether I know his name but I liked him but the strange thing was that when ever I wanted to see his face either he would go somewhere or someone would call my name and then without seeing the boy’s face I would leave but the boy liked me too but he didn’t show me his face. But whenever the boy was around me I was happy even though I didn’t know him.When in the morning I woke up I started thinking about boy neither I know him or his name.

The dream most likely shows you want to meet a boy like that in your waking life. You may want to find someone like him to date, or you may just want to have a friend who is a calming, wonderful presence in your life. Either way, it definitely sounds like you want to bring these kinds of qualities into your waking life, even if the dream boy doesn’t actually exist in real life.

So yesterday I finally dreamt of the guy I really like… whom by the way I never met in person. I found him accidentally by scrolling in social media while looking for a way to make money online; and because of his cute face I found a great business opportunity he and his friend are sharing. I hopped on into this opportunity and I am really happy I did because I am falling in love with it more and more. I am trying to make the best out of it in order to become financially indipendent. Although it’s been almost a month I can’t seem to stop thinking about him and the fact that he almost never answers when I dm him with questions is only making the rejection harder on me. So yesterday I finally dreamt about him, in a very silly way. The feelings, though, had my hormones flying through the roof. He was suddenly inside my bedroom giving me his literal phone device to read the message he was trying to send me in reply to my business related questions; and as I was doing so he lay down beside me starting to get touchy… I was trying to move around as I was reading the message and chatting with him at the same time until he suddenly just grabbed my legs and put them around his waist so I would face him and stop moving around while talking and reading. And it just made my heart melt and the part between my legs aquire a heartbeat… I got really hot so my mind woke up. All I wanted to do was go back to sleep and dream of him. Sad and pathetic I know, but what to do. I think it’s pretty clear what the dream is trying to tell me, lol. But I don’t know how to handle this… How do I unfeel what I am feeling for him? And how is it so strong when I never met the guy? Why can’t I just like one of the boys that I can actually reach…? He also lives in the oter side of the globe! I’m helpless. Any suggestions?

The dream reflects what is going on in your subconscious mind. You are attracted to this guy, so it is only natural that you dreamed you were with him. Unfortunately, a dream only shows the dreamer’s subconscious thoughts and feelings, so it is unlikely this dream reflects the way he feels about you. From the sound of it, he just views you as another participant in his program.

i had a dream about a guy, in the dream, the guy was my old friend’s relative (but in reality he isnt, i never met him or seen him in real life) and he was a year younger than me but i couldnt care any less, he was so handsome and we talked, next thing i was going to take a shower and somehow he leaned on the door asking if we can talk more? i said after im done and after that, i really felt like i was inlove with him in the dream, so we sat at a table and i leaned my head on his shoulder and someone said to him that im tired and that he should carry me to my bed. and just then i woke up. i fell inlove with this someone i never met.

All of these feelings probably just reflect the fact that you were attracted to your dream guy and want to have a romance. Even though you’ve never actually met, your subconscious mind was still perfectly capable of conjuring up these kinds of feelings.

While you dreamed about this guy, this guy might not necessarily be the one you want to be with. The subconscious often chooses someone at random to play the role of a love interest in your dreams, which is why this guy appeared in your dream. IN general, it sounds like you want to find someone attractive and caring to be with in a sensual or affectionate way. Hopefully, you will be able to find someone like this in real life soon enough. 🙂

The dream may have occurred because you wish that you could have a relationship of some sort, but that kind of relationship continues to elude you. Your subconscious probably created the image of the boyfriend to serve as a placeholder guy until you actually meet someone who can play that role.

The attractive guy in the dream may represent the kind of guy you would like to meet in real life. You may not have anyone who could play that role in your waking life, so your subconscious mind created the dream image of this guy. Your mom may have been present in the dream just because you wish you could meet someone your mom and family would approve of.

I had a dream last night that I was in my ceramics class with my guy friend that sits next to me and he was talking to me as usual but then we started to get really close to each other than what we already were and I decided to lean my head against his shoulder and I felt at peace and he smiled. Then out of no where I’m at a completely different location one which I’ve never been before all by myself and I see a really cute guy and we start talking and as the days go by I noticed that I was really falling for him. I took him to my house and just introduced him as my friend but my family members had a feeling we were going to be more. We were at my house laying really close together on the couch and I was just touching his fingers and caressing his face while he was doing the same and I was falling asleep so I closed my eyes and everyone thought I was sleeping so my brother asked him if he liked me and he said he did. What does that mean I really hope you can help me

Your dream is a manifestation of your thoughts regarding your social and emotional relationships. It is possible that you are interested in nourishing an emotional relationship with your friend. You may also be interested in developing a relationship with someone else. Share your kindness and compassion with everyone in your life, as this will draw positive people and energy toward you.

A week ago I had a dream where a guy I’ve never seen or met was flirting with me and I liked it, he was playing around and touching my shirt and showing me a cool trick with it, we then started laughing because we thought it was hilarious. Then I realized that I really liked him. He had made me feel really happy and I kissed him. We hung out for a couple more minutes and then He said he had to go inside and I was like ok see you. Then I went to go sit down next to this guy that actually goes to school with me, but I never talk to him. I then put my head on his shoulder, and he smiled. I laughed and sat on his lap, then he put his arm around me and started tickling me. He also did the shirt trick that the other boy did to me as well. I realized I liked him too. And he started to kiss me and hug me. Then he and his friends were chasing me all around the place we were at. I was running away from them laughing. He finally caught me, grabbed me and kissed me again. I spent the rest of the day with him, we were all over each other. Then everyone had to go inside. I saw the boy that I never seen before and I got all excited and grabbed him then kissed him. I pulled back he his face was amazed he said “Woah” and I left him smiling and heading into the building. Then I saw the other boy from school and we smiled at each other. Everyone was packing up to leave, but my teacher kept saying to me “ You have to choose” and I kept saying “no! What do you mean!?!” The teacher kept telling me that and I was so overwhelmed and worried that I started crying. And eventually I was the only one in the room. Does this mean anything? This is my first type of romance-ish dream as well.

This dream could be an indication of your social and emotional desires. The people who appeared within the dream could be amalgamations of various qualities that you may find attractive in a partner. It is possible that you are dealing with a similar decision in your waking life. Make a decision about what you want for your future, and take appropriate action.

A couple of days ago, I had a this dream where this boy and I were hanging out and taking photos together multiple times.
Thing is, this boy is in my math class and I don’t know him at all, I’ve never interacted with him. I find it weird that him specifically showed up in my dream.

Sometimes, your subconscious mind chooses someone at random to represent a certain feeling or objective in your dream. You may just want to find a guy you can be close to, which is why your subconscious picked this boy at random to be in your dream. If you don’t have feelings or think about him in your waking life, I really wouldn’t read too much into it.

Hi i wanted to ask about my dream. I dream about 2 boys literally twins. I was somewhere like in a Sporthall as i was matching a football match. And the somewhat i was just walking outside in a peaceful park on my own. Then i guess i touched a leaf and was taken to another world, where these twins were sitting in a round table with a small lake on the side and the ground was green grasses competing about me. The other twin said I am his goal and the other said ohhh so you like her, but to bad for you cause i want herand i really like her. Before they could finish arguing i arrived at their secret place. And i arrived and asked them why are they here and where is this?. No one answered so i said, i get it a secret place. But weirdly i took one of the twins phone and go to whatsapp. Then i saw my name in the twins convo. So i said woahh mt name is mentioned here so i reread their convo and found out they were debating who deserves me better. They were both blushing and i saidbplayfully i get it you both like me huh. They just look at me and then i said, the one who’s deserving will get me.

These dreams are manifestations of your social and emotional desires. The twin aspect of your dream could be a sign that you are interested in maintaining relationships with various people, and you may be weighing your options at this time. Determine what you want for the future, as this will help you navigate your decisions. Share your kindness and compassion at all times, as this will draw positive people and energy toward you.

I had a dream, I couldn’t remember the exact location, but I was in a city of some sort, I met a guy and we talked for a bit, further into the dream I met who seemed to be his brother, I again, can’t remember where I was but I left the house feeling confused when an adult who is the boys father, came up to me and asked why I left, I told him I was getting confused, he asked if I liked the brother but I said no and that I liked the first brother I met, now I’m awake with confusion running through my mind

The man, his brother, and their father all may be reflections of various social relationships in your life. They may have been placeholders for other people. It is possible that their various attributes were amalgamations of various qualities that you may find attractive in a partner. You will draw positive people and energy toward you by sharing your kindness and compassion at all times.

These dreams may have been reflections of your social and emotional feelings toward this person. On social media, he chooses to ignore you. It seems that you need to take this time to determine what is viable in regard to this relationship. If you feel that it would be appropriate for you to reach out to him, then do so.

I had a dream that I was at a party and this guy I’d never met before sat down next to me whilst we were watching something on stage and started flirting with me whilst I laughed it off (even though I found him attractive). I then got so drunk that I passed out and the next morning I woke up unsure if he did something to me whilst I was asleep or not. I also got confessed to that morning by 3 other guys- 2 from primary school who wrote a message about their crush on me on a wall and another guy I didn’t know who sent me a dm on Instagram. Later the Instagram guy admitted he did it because some girl told him to.
I thought it might be my subconscious getting excited about starting university this autumn and meeting guys since I go to an all girls school right now. However, that point about my subconscious telling me I’m missing something has made me wonder if it’s that instead. Either way, thanks for the interesting post!

It seems that you are aware that your future hold many potential excitements, and that your past experiences will certainly influence your decisions. Take this time to determine what you want to focus on while studying, though it is important to keep in mind that education is important and beneficial. If there is someone in your life that you want to reach out to, then take this time to speak with them about your thoughts and feelings.

All my life I’ve had strange dreams at least once a year, in completely different scenarios I end up with a completely different guy over and over. I can never pin down a theme, but I always wake up very confused as everything felt so real it’s like I lost someone I love every time. This has happened at least ten times. I feel really weird about it as I am married and it feels like a betrayal in a way. Even though I am positive I’ve never seen and definitely never met any of the subjects of these dreams. Sometimes they will even have names.

These dreams are not betrayals of your current relationship, but rather reflections of emotional relationships that you can not explain. It is acceptable for your to enjoy these dreams as they arise, but you should focus your emotional energy on your current partner. You will find great benefit in nourishing your relationship by spending additional time together in person.

My dream last night gave me the idea of happiness, the idea of not wanting to wake up because the dream is too good to be true.
It goes like this…
I was in the beach, it feels like a place I went before [seems my home place also but not sure]. I am having an alone swimming time when a man [A foreigner] approached me from a far. I didn’t saw his face clearly because everything is so blurry but I felt it is real, like literally REAL. He asked my name, then he hugged me automatically. I didn’t know but I really felt the warmth of his hands, the way he brushed his hands on my waist and the breathing is super real coz I felt and heard it. I still remember what he whispered at me “You are so beautiful, can I be your boyfriend?”. I was on shocked. Like, everything is so fast and I fell in love on the idea, the sweet gesture and everything.
Then I woke up happily.
I really don’t know what’s the meaning of it, but I want to meet him again on my dreams.

I had this dream last night and can’t remember everything but this part sticks out in my mind. So I’m in college and I was in the lobby of one of the buildings. I was in the middle of the floor in a palate(???) with a blanket and I was really comfortable. I could tell I looked sad but I wasn’t sad. Anyway this guy walks in that I’ve never seen before (but in my dream I’d seen him a few times and he was always checking up on me and how I was feeling) so he comes in and says my name and ask if I’m ok and I tell him yes and he offers me something (I cant remember what it was) but he asks if I want it to comfort me and I say no. I thank him and smile and he says he’ll see me around. In my dream, I feel like we have some type of connection and he makes me feel safe. But then another guy was right behind him ( I know this one. We’re somewhat friends). I have mixed feelings about this boy in my waking life. (Do I really like him or am I just missing the passion and feeling of being in a relationship?). This guy asked me if I was ok as well and I said yes and he also offered me something ( again I don’t remember what). I told him I was ok but I remember thinking while he was talking to me that his outfit was really nice. I’m used to him wearing a certain color and certain clothes but in the dream he was wearing something completely different and it looked very nice??Then my alarm clock went off and i woke up.

Your dream seems to show that you want to meet someone you can fall in love with and be with. In this case, your subconscious mind most likely created your dream guy because you don’t have anyone in your waking life who has all of the qualities that he does. Once you find someone you can love and be with during your waking life, he will most likely take the place of your dream guy.

I dreamt that I went to an half night service and after the close of church I have to find a place to have a nap till morning around 5am then will leave but then in a moment found myself in a room with a guy I have never seen or met before, he offered me a place to sleep (sharing his bed with me) no communication afterwards. And was awake from me dreams. Four days later I had the same dream after service needed a place to rest before going home, but this time around I try calling a friend to help but I called several time but no response. later I saw my Grandpa and brother entering my friends room then meaning I have find another place because there is no space in there. I was able to find my way to the stranger’s house and room where I knocked and he answered (Hello Rachel come in I missed your calls sorry about that) I was surprised because I didn’t have his number neither did I called him. so I told him I wanted to wash my feet’s and go to bed then I was awaked. what does that mean?

Then he freaked he had got up from were he was sitting and had kissed another girl in front of everyone. Then I ran off he came after me, “I told him that I was done”. He then grabbed my hand and “told me that he loved me”, I told him “I loved him but he didn’t obviously love me enough to keep us a secret”. I walked away then woke up?

The fact that this isn’t possible in the dream may mean you feel like you can’t actually meet someone like this in your waking life. In addition, the fact that he is with someone else in the dream may mean you feel like the people you like in waking life always end up with someone else.
