Okay so in real life, there's this guy that I like in real life. We are cool friends with each other and i hang out with his friends often. He's sweet, funny, yet introverted and thoughtful. Lately, we have been getting closer to each other. This dream happened while I was literally sleeping in his and his roommate's room, who is also our friend. I was sleeping on the bean bag right next to the bed of the guy that I like. Anyways, so in the dream, I was still sleeping, in that same exact place, and I felt someone pick me up carry me bridal style, and that person was the guy I like. I stayed asleep in his arms but i also was aware of where he was taking me. He put me on his bed, and you know, he was so gentle with it, and I heard some words bein exchanged between our friend and him, saying that the guy I like should put me on his bed. The guy I like was petting my head with a soft smile on his face and moved a few strands of my hair gently and tucked them behind my ear. Then I woke up (in the dream, not in real life), in his bed, and me, him, and our friend had cereal together, in his bed when in the real world, he does not like when anybody else except him eats in his bed. We were having a great time with eachother and he kept like being subtly affectionate with me like petting my hair and making sure I was eating. The dream felt super realistic, that I could not tell if that was a dream or not, like I felt his arms carrying me and everything.
