someone was picking on me and my friend was standing up for me but they usually make fun of me or make jokes about me
This dream could potentially mean that you are feeling vulnerable and in need of support from those around you in real life. Your friend's willingness to stand up for you in the dream may represent a desire to have someone in your life who will defend and protect you. It could also be a reflection of past experiences where you felt ridiculed or mocked and are now seeking validation and acceptance from others. Consider speaking with your friend about these feelings and concerns to see if they can offer you the support you need to feel more confident and secure in your relationships.
