so Uh I had a dream about you which is weird but like yeah you dream about people you think about so not that surprising

But like in the dream we were just in the same class again and my best friend was there and I was trying to find an excuse to like, walk in your direction on the chance we made eye contact. Because apparently that’s the wildest fantasy my subconscious could come up with. So we’re walking past your desk and you’re talking with your friends and I’m talking with my friend and I’m facing her but I’m talking just loud enough for you to hear my voice. I see you glance in my direction out of the corner of my eye. Satisfied, I return w/ my friend to our desks.

Then suddenly I get the impression she dislikes you. She tells me something along the lines of “don’t put him on a pedestal, you barely know what he’s like, raise your standards for interaction” and I realize that I got excited over you looking in my direction and I feel ashamed. The rest of the dream continues into some weird dream nonsense, i eat an entire cake while walking around the halls of my elementary school for some reason, then I wake up.

I’m not going to put too much energy into deciphering a dream, but it made me think. It’s not like we’ve never had a face to face conversation before, and I don’t think I’m actually as obsessed with you as I was in the dream. But I don’t know you and I want to know you, but I literally can’t think of any reason to approach you other than us being partnered up for an assignment (and what am I going to do, request to be in a group project with you to the teacher???) Or should I just enjoy this for what it is (a silly little infatuation) and admire you from afar for a while and then hopefully just get over it?
