An old high school crush who I felt strongly for a while now (back in the day we did a year-long school project together) keeps showing up in my dreams. In my dreams (for years now) me and him would either be in love or would definitely have strong feelings for each other. Cuddling, love, passionate romance, or other things would be in the dream. I still think of him rather fondly today and I have no idea why 6 years later I still feel strongly for him and gush over him.
Dreams about old crushes can often be symbolic of unresolved feelings from the past. In your case, the recurring dream about your high school crush may indicate that there are some emotional ties or memories connected to this person that you have not fully processed or moved on from.
The fact that the dreams often involve feelings of love and romance suggests that there may be a lingering desire for that kind of connection or intimacy in your life. It's possible that your subconscious mind is using this person as a symbol to represent certain qualities or experiences that you long for.
The year-long school project that you worked on together could have created a strong bond or connection between you two, which could be why his presence is still prominent in your dreams even years later.
It's natural to feel fondly about someone who played a significant role in your past, especially if the memories associated with them were positive. Reflecting on your feelings towards this person and exploring what they represent to you could provide insight into your current emotional state and what you may be seeking in your current relationships or life in general.
