Romantic Partner Dream Meaning

Your current romantic partner, or a quality you’d like to experience more of in your current relationship.

Your idea of an ideal romantic partner or qualities.

The idea of a relationship in general.

A real-life platonic relationship (such as with a coworker or friend).

Pay attention to what’s happening in the dream for clues about your thoughts and feelings toward your real-life partner, relationship, or the relationship area of your life.

Dreaming that someone is your romantic partner who never was in real life can mean: your subconscious mind was exploring what it would be like to be closer to that person (romantically or otherwise), perhaps you just like this person, think they’re nice, or find them interesting, you’ve noticed qualities you like or admire in this person.
