I can't believe it's actually happening. Back in high school, I dreamed about him. Now we're together and he's everything to me.2. To envision someone or something in one's sleep. While recovering from dental surgery, I actually dreamed about all the foods I couldn't eat. Waking up was quite a disappointment!
