Friends

To dream of a real-life friend represents a quality in yourself based on your most honest feelings about them. Ask yourself what qualities, memories, or feelings stand out the most about them and how that may apply to your own life.

Negatively, dreaming about real-life friends may represent conflicts, misunderstandings, or unresolved issues that are currently affecting you. Feelings of being left out, unsupported, or betrayed in some situations.

Alternatively, real-life friends in dreams may also represent your current projection of that person based on a current situation or conflict in your life.

To dream of having a friend that you've never seen before may represent feelings of support, assistance, and help being received in a new situation. A supportive or cooperative aspect of yourself. Your projection of a situation or arrangement that is beneficial to you. Feeling optimistic about enduring a problem situation. Unexpected help.

Negatively, dreaming about a friend that you've never seen before may represent feelings about needing help in a serious situation or being uncertain about whether you can survive a situation on your own.

To dream of a friend dying may represent your feelings about an impending change, loss, or failure of an aspect of yourself that feels good being supportive. Consider what qualities stand out the most about that friend and how that quality may be lacking or suffering in your life at the moment. Alternatively, seeing a friend dying may reflect your feelings about that person losing power or undergoing an unpleasant change.

To dream of a deceased friend may reflect the most apparent quality about them that stands out the most in yourself. Unless their death was recent or you are having issues with grieving the fact that they are dead in real life is most likely not significant to the dream's symbolism. Alternatively, dreaming of a dead friend may represent something good in your life that was lost and is now returning.

To dream of an ex-friend may represent a quality in yourself based on your most honest feelings about them when they were still a significant part of your life. Consider what emotions or memories are most associated with this ex-friend�whether positive or negative�and how these could be influencing your current feelings or situation. It could reflect issues of betrayal, loss, or unresolved emotions that are still affecting you. Lingering feelings of bitterness, disappointment, or being misled. A part of your life that you have outgrown or a reminder of a past conflict that still impacts your current emotional landscape. Lingering anger or sadness about the loss of the friendship. Guilt, regret, or nostalgia for the time spent together. Fear of repeating the same mistakes in current relationships or friendships.

Example: A man dreamed of walking beside a friend he had never seen before in real life who helped him walk up to a ledge and fly in the air at the last minute. In waking life, he felt that God had helped him make a major transition in his life. In this case, the friend may have reflected his feelings about receiving divine support during a challenging life transition.

Best Friends

To dream of a best friend may represent behavior or life situations that are always supportive of feeling good or success. Ideal situations or a preference you have. An ideal opportunity. It may also reflect skills or resources that make your life easier. Feeling that everything in life is falling into place.

Negatively, a best friend may reflect your last hope in a difficult situation. A sign that you may be isolating or limiting yourself. It may also represent a powerful negative influence or a bad habit that feels good.

Alternatively, a best friend in a dream may reflect positive social interaction with other people. Getting along well.

Example: A young girl dreamed of having a best friend that she didn't recognize. In waking life she had 3 guys competing and desiring to date her. The best friend that she didn't recognize reflected her good looks and how new it felt to her to be constantly desired by so many men.

Example 2: A man dreamed of being warned by his best friend. In waking life he was learning new skills that he ended up feeling weren't going to allow him to enjoy his life.

Acquaintance

To dream of an acquaintance represents an aspect of yourself that you're still trying to get to know. Possibly a reflection of limited experience with certain people or situations.

Alternatively, an acquaintance may symbolize an aspect of yourself based on your most honest feelings or thoughts of that person. Ask yourself what stands out the most about that person.

Boyfriends

To dream of a boyfriend represents personality traits or qualities we feel as consistently supportive of your success or well-being. Something you think that supports you emotionally, or regularly helps you cope with life situations. It may also reflect something in your life that makes you feel safe, or lucky. A consistently helpful situation, behavior, or coping mechanism.

Alternatively, boyfriends may symbolize our current projections of your partner or their beliefs or goals.

To dream of a boyfriend leaving you represents the departure of helpful situations, feelings, or beliefs from your life. Habits or situations that are no longer supportive of you. Feeling something helpful turning on you or no longer working.

To dream of a boyfriend who you've never seen in real life leaving you represents new situations, habits, or beliefs that were supportive of you and no longer are.

To dream of cheating on your partner represents impulsive choices, or doing something that you can't resist. Cheating on a partner can also represent a change of current beliefs.

To dream of a partner cheating on you represents bad choices that have consequences or dire repercussions. Turning your back on principles, integrity, or sacrifices you are making. A partner cheating on you may also symbolize your feelings about your partner having different beliefs or goals from your own.

To see a boyfriend die or murdered in a dream represents the end of a thinking pattern, habit, or life situation that made you feel good or helped you cope with life situations. It may also reflect certain beliefs, feelings, or situations associated with your boyfriend ending.

To dream of intimacy or feelings of love with a boyfriend that you don't recognize represents a new personality style, habit, or situation that is emotionally helpful for you.

To dream of a boyfriend that you recognize, but aren't actually involved with represents an aspect of your personality that you find emotionally supportive that is based on your feelings or memories of that person. This applies to celebrities, friends, or anyone appearing as a boyfriend that isn't a real partner.

To dream of having sex with your boyfriend represents positive waking life experiences where you are enjoying feeling that you can't lose. Enjoyable experiences feeling helped, successfully using your skills, or liking noticing yourself having an advantage that never stops working for you. Liking an experience where certain skills, behavior, or other people are consistently supportive of your success. Alternatively, having sex with your boyfriend may reflect enjoyable waking life situations you are experiencing with him. It could also (less likely) reflect your sex life.

Matthew Perry

To dream of Matthew Perry (TV Show Friends) represents an aspect of your personality that is more incredible than other people (or gets more attention) for being laughable (or not being taken seriously) for being a nicer person, that's intelligent about never being in trouble, while thinking it isn't safe to embarrass anyone too seriously. Behavior that's laughed at with not being taken seriously for being a "nice guy" that's more intelligent or sane than other people. Behaving in a professional or composed manner while dealing with people who exhibit embarrassing behaviors and are oblivious to their own irrationality. Dealing with oblivious or self-unaware individuals who don't take you seriously. Navigating a social situation where someone refuses to take you seriously when you point out their ridiculous actions or lack of awareness regarding their embarrassing behavior.

Behavior that doesn't say anything too serious to embarrass someone for their ridiculous behavior because it probably won't work or will cause a fight. Behavior gets lots of attention from other people while being laughable for why being a "nice guy" who's safer and more intelligent than someone else never matters. You may feel that you are laughable for being a good person while being careful not to offend others too much.

Negatively, a dream featuring Matthew Perry could represent behavior that wastes its time safely not hurting someone's feelings about a problem to the point of being laughable for being nice. Not being as serious as you need to be respected to make someone feel like you "mean it." A tendency to avoid saying anything too serious as a defense mechanism to avoid confronting deeper problems. Respecting yourself by not saying anything too serious to a person who is behaving ridiculously because you fear it might make a stupid situation worse. Feeling laughed at for why being more intelligent than someone else doesn't help you.

Example: A man dreamed of Matthew Perry making him jealous that someone he knew liked talking to Matthew Perry instead of him. In waking life, the dreamer was too nice and careful about putting up with a dishonest family member not moving out of an inherited property that had to be sold. He assumed the family member would choose to move after he contacted a lawyer because it made perfect sense. He couldn't believe how ignorant the tenant was about laughing at him for wasting his time talking to a lawyer without giving him a 30-day notice first. The dreamer was also aware of his entire family watching the altercation. In this case, Matthew Perry may have reflected his feelings about himself being laughable for being a nicer careful person who was more rational than the dishonest family member about why moving out made perfect sense while wasting time with a lawyer while his whole family watched.
