Some 14 year old college girl (quite gifted) said this to me once. She said she dreamed we went to a certain concert with her and her friends, and that we had a good time. Fortunately, I didn’t realize what she wanted, as I’m not sure I would have had the presence of mind to refuse.

A waitress at a restaurant I frequent told me once that she had had a dream about me. The dream?

She dreamed she was at work, and was complaining to the other servers that I had not yet been waited on.

Someone on another message board just PM’ed me to tell me that she dreamed of me.

Yeah…pretty random that “you” were in my dream, but I just thought you should know.

My mother dreamt last night that I was eaten by a shark while taking a swim at a local beach. She asked me to stay away from unpatrolled beaches this weekend!
