I had a dream that I was in my 3rd period class (Language Arts) and every girl got paired up with a boy and they would have to get married. I ended up marrying my crush.

At the end I remember asking him if he really liked me or was he just playing along with what was happening. His reply was, “No, I really do like you.” I was very happy in the dream and when I woke up.

Do you think this means anything or is it just nonsense?

Hi Jennifer -

What do you mean, “Is it just nonsense?” You have a dream of marrying your crush, and he tells you he really likes you, and you want to know if it means anything?

I can see we’re going to have to spell this one out.

If he didn’t like you, he would have run away or gone over to some other girl and said he liked her...

So what does it mean?

It’s time to put that big smile back on your face - and go have fun with your crush! He’s going to have a big smile on his face, too.

Why? Because....
