question: My freshman year of high school I had a crush on a girl and it didn t go away until the end of my senior year when I gave up after realizing she had no interest in me. Now I m a junior in college and every now and then I still have dreams about her even though I don t think about her that much anymore. Last night I had a very vivid dream about her in which she finally expressed at least some interest in being friends. I m confused as to why I continue to have dreams about her even though I consider myself over it. It just makes me sad when I wake up after having dreams like that.
