I have developed a crush on an older guy at my school. I don’t know him personally and haven’t really talked to him before. Recently I had a dream that, for some strange reason, I dyed my hair bright yellow-orange. You have to know that I would never dye my hair, and if I ever did, it would never be orange. Here’s where the crush part comes in.

I went to school and found that my crush had dyed his hair the exact same color. Throughout my dream I felt like I was laughing. I think this was because of the amazing absurdity of the whole situation! Please try to tell me if there is any meaning in this dream. It doesn’t make much sense to me!

Hi Janele -

If I asked you to quit thinking about your dream for a moment, and then I asked what the colors “bright yellow-orange” make you think of, what would you say?

The sun? Leaves in autumn? The color of fire?

If your answer is “fire,” then I think we may have solved your dream! Are you “carrying a torch” for your “flame?” Do you have the “hots” for your sweetheart? Do you “light up” whenever he’s around? Is your heart “burning?”

If so, I think your dream is a good sign - because it’s clear he’s hot for you too! I think you two need to put your heads together, and stoke up the fires!

Why don’t you figure out a why to say “Hi” and introduce yourself to this guy?

His hair might not catch on fire, but his heart might!

Write back and let us know how it goes!!
