Long time ago I had a strange dream. I dreamt that I was in a street with few other people, none of whom I knew or could recall their faces after waking up. The street setup seemed quite familiar, though I don’t remember ever visiting such a place. Me and this group of people were standing in front of a shop/house (don’t remember clearly) for some reason (can’t recollect what reason), it was daytime and bright. I had a bagpack and was standing in front of the crowd. And suddenly for some reason that I don’t remember now, I turn around and what I see surprises me even in my dream. I remember that the feeling of surprise was so palpable that I as I woke up from my dream and sleep I was still shocked at what I saw. I saw a guy who was my classmate during post graduation standing just behind me. In all honesty, given the kind of dreams I’ve had throughout my life, I was half expecting to see some surreal visual or even switching to a completely different dream altogether. But, I swear to God I did not expect to see him out of all the people who could have appeared in my dream, standing close behind me so quietly, staring at me. Another curious thing I noticed was the angle at which our eyes met. In my dream I was taller than him, though in real life he’s few inches taller than me. And also, the expression on his face wasn’t exactly welcoming, it seemed rather glum not happy. And then abruptly the dream ended. So now, what do I make of this impromptu dream about somebody I haven’t talked to in 2 years. The strangeness & suddenness of the dream were so compelling that I still remember it clearly even after so many months. Kindly help me interpret the meaning of this brief dream. Thank you in advance. Much gratitude!
P.S. – this is my first question of such type. I have a lot of other weird dreams that I’ve had had over the course of my life, that perplex me to no end. I’m willing to share more such dreams if somebody is interested & willing to help me decipher their strange meaning. To anybody who answers my question I’m much delighted and grateful.
It's not uncommon to dream of people from the past in unexpected ways. But why do they come? There may be something incomplete or unresolved. (A fight that never solved, or a third party caused problems, or incomplete money transaction etc.) That person may have impacted deeply in some way (admireRead more
It’s not uncommon to dream of people from the past in unexpected ways. But why do they come?
So the dream is like an indication of completing that unresolved emotion/transaction internally such as by forgiveness, or letting it go. It could also be a reminder to develop that person’s admired quality/skill in yourself. If it was a bad quality, then to let it go in yourself.
Do self analysis on how that person had impacted you during your interactions. Few examples given above, but see as per your actuals.
Prashna confirms this – Person had some type of an emotional/unforgettable impact on native, or some type of relationship that spiralled out of control.

In past he had asked me out a couple of times, but I always declined, I think I liked him too in some ways, but something kept me from considering him seriously.Read more
Hi, thanks for your answer. Now after reading your answer I do realize that, that person was quite into me or pretended to be, idk really. In past he had asked me out a couple of times, but I always declined, I think I liked him too in some ways, but something kept me from considering him seriously. I could never believe that his affections or feelings were genuine. It felt like he was always hiding a side of his personality and I always had this ominous feeling regarding committing to any relationship with him. Plus I saw some patterns in him that reminded me of somebody from my private life who resembled him in many ways and that person does not have the best of romantic relationship with his spouse, its rather toxic, suffocating and karmic in nature. I don’t wish to be in such a relationship and so after long deep reflection, I came to the conclusion that he wasn’t really my type & I decided to move on from him. Now, whenever I suddenly remember him I mentally wish him all the best in life and ask for any forgiveness for any wrong I might have done to him in past. Haven’t talked to him in years and haven’t dreamt of him ever since.
The dream I shared above happened many months ago, it was just that I had never dreamt of him solely, so it was a bit strange therefore I decided to ask here.
Anyway thanks for your answer.
