when i was 7 years old, i had a dream that i was kissing my male best friend whilst sinking down in an ocean/sea. could this mean that i had feelings for him? this confuses me as i thought i was homoromantic (only feel romantic feelings for women) and bisexual (physically attracted to both men and women). i thought i only liked him as a best friend, although i did ask him who his favourite female friend was and he said someone else and that really hurt me but i thought it was because i really liked him as a friend? could that response be due to the fact that i had feelings for him?
Dreams can be complex and have multiple layers of meaning. In this dream, the act of kissing your male best friend while sinking in an ocean/sea could represent a metaphorical submersion into your emotions and desires. It doesn't necessarily mean that you had romantic feelings for him, but rather could reflect a deeper emotional connection or a desire for closeness and intimacy in your relationship.
Dreams often tap into our subconscious thoughts and feelings, which may not always align with our conscious understanding. It's possible that you had some unconscious attraction or longing for your male best friend, even if you identify as homoromantic and bisexual. The hurt you felt when he mentioned his favorite female friend could stem from a mix of friendship issues and subconscious emotions.
Dreams should not be seen as definitive indicators of your true feelings or sexual orientation, but rather as opportunities to explore your thoughts and emotions. It may be helpful to reflect on your feelings and motivations in your waking life, and perhaps have open, honest conversations with trusted friends or a therapist to gain more clarity. Ultimately, only you can determine your true feelings, and it's important to give yourself time and space to understand yourself better.
