11 reasons you dream of a man you never met (complete list)

Do you dream about a man you never met? If so, you’re not alone.

These dreams could also be a sign from your subconscious mind, signaling that there is something in your life missing – perhaps a new love or simply more romance in general.

Here are 11 reasons why you dream of a man you never met.

1) You’re frustrated by your current relationship(s)

We all fantasize about what life could be like with a new love interest. While most of these fantasies end in the bedroom, you are also dreaming of your ideal situation.

This type of dreaming can be brought on by frustration with your current relationships. You may even start to compare your current significant other to the dream lover.

Waking feelings of insecurity or dissatisfaction can lead to dreams about an ideal partner.

The man in your dream may be better than your current love interest. Then again, he may be worse. Your subconscious is trying to send you a message about how you feel about your significant other.

So, how do you know if it’s just a dream, or if something is wrong?

Pay attention to your emotions after you wake from the dream.

If you feel a sense of security and satisfaction in your current relationship, then it’s probably just a daydream about an ideal situation.

However, if you wake up feeling frustrated or unsatisfied with your current situation, it may be time for some honest communication with your significant other.

2) He has a connection to something or someone else in your dreams

Ask yourself these questions:

• Does the man in your dreams seem familiar to you?
• Are there any other characters or objects that keep showing up in your dreams with him?
• Do they have any significance to you personally?
• Do they represent anyone or anything in your life?
• Are they recurring characters, objects, or symbols in the dream, such as a house, pet, or animal that you know well?

If so, then this character may be a part of a deeper psychological meaning. You may be connecting to something else in your subconscious mind.

Many times, this other person is someone that is important or significant in your life (maybe even someone who has passed away).

He might also be a symbol of your need for comfort or closeness. It is possible that your subconscious is trying to tell you that you need more romance or intimacy in your life, and this dream character/dream scenario is how it’s showing to you.

3) He’s an unknown potential romantic partner for you

Another meaning when you dream of a man you never met before is that he could be a new potential romantic partner. Your subconscious may be telling you that there is someone out there for you – someone special who hasn’t been in your life yet.

This dream character might even start to show up in your dreams over and over again if he has potential.

This recurring dream character might have traits or characteristics you admire, or maybe he makes you feel a certain way that others haven’t done before. He might also remind you of someone else in your life.

Want to get more clarification about this?

There are a lot of psychics and tarot readers who can do readings if you’re curious and want to delve deeper into your dreams.

There are also dream dictionaries online that can help you decipher symbols, recurring characters, and strange sensations or feelings in your dreams.

But among all of this, I suggest the best way to know what something means in your life is to speak to psychics from Psychic Source.

But remember that no one can tell you exactly what your dreams mean. You are the only person who can truly know this.

Just take into consideration all of the different meanings of dreams, and choose which ones resonate with you most.

4) He could be a sign of new opportunities for you (a job, etc.)

Have you ever had a dream like this?

A man you’ve never met before is suddenly all over you in your dream. He’s interested and pursuing you, and all of a sudden, there is so much opportunity in your life.

The man could also be an indication of new opportunities or jobs coming your way.

He may be the one helping you get these things that are coming into your life. For example, the man might be an employer, a boss (of someone else), etc. or he could be a director you need to talk to in order to pursue a career opportunity.

In any case, it’s possible this dream character can mean that you’re going through changes at work or that new projects/opportunities are on the horizon for you when it comes to what do for work and income.

The secret?

You can never know if these things are going to have a positive or negative effect on your life unless you test them out.

So if you’re unsure of that dream character, take your time and see if they show up in other ways in your life.

5) You have an unconscious crush on someone you know

Trust me, our subconscious are quite literal.

This character in your dream could be a sign of an unconscious crush on someone you know.

It also may show up as a sign that there’s somebody out there who has the same fascination and feelings for you that you do for them. You may even have encountered this person already, but have not been able to recognize it until now.

Want to know the best part?

This man can be your twin flame.

Twin flames can connect to each other on a spiritual/sexual level, and are also linked to each other on every level of reality.

They know each other spiritually, or from a past life, or they were just born under the same astrological sign.

If you see an unconscious crush in your dream, there is a very good chance that this character could be your twin flame!

Once you recognize this man in your dream as a potential part of your twin flame, it can then give you the opportunity to explore possibilities with him.

6) He reminds you of someone from your past

As I’ve mentioned above, dreams often serve as a portal to the past.

This character could be a sign of something from your past coming back to your conscious awareness and causing a reaction to you.

Maybe he reminds you of someone you used to know in your past, or he reminds you of something that went on between you and someone else that’s also still unresolved.

Or maybe this character is more like somebody who is repeating something from your past.

Think about this for a moment:

Can you sense any similarities between this man/dream character in your dreams and someone else you know?

What do they look like? How do they act? What do they say?

Do they have similar mannerisms or attachments to the way the person in question interacts with you or others?

This might be a clue to the meaning of your dream. If so, this is likely something that needs to be resolved (or at least worked out) in order for you to move forward in life.

7) You want more romance in your life

An old saying is “Love and romance are like peanut butter and jelly. They’re both good on their own, but they just taste so much better together.”

Some people feel as though love and romance should be all the time.

However, if you’re lacking a bit of love in your life, then this dream character is a potential sign that you may have allowed that person to slip away from you.

You may have given up on the idea of romance altogether because it’s never been your top priority in life or because it feels too much like hard work.

This is especially true if the love interest in your dream is a person you loved once, but didn’t think was worth your time or energy.

So be open to the idea that you may be ready for a new romance in your life and give yourself the chance to find this man.

Just make sure you don’t go rushing into this situation. It’s important to take your time, and learn what you need to know.

8) You have unreal standards for men

Maybe you set unrealistic expectations of yourself and that’s why you haven’t been able to find a good match.

Perhaps you’re afraid to settle for someone who is not as good or perfect as you sometimes believe yourself to be.

You may also have unreal expectations of what your future husband will look like.

A dream character could be showing you that there is someone out there who is more worthy than what you think yourself to be.

This could also be a sign that this person walks the walk, and not just talks the talk when it comes to being a better man than you.

Just remember, nothing in life is ever absolute, so if this character has imperfections, don’t let them blindside you into dismissing him completely because his flaws are greater than his strengths!

Here are some tips to help you see the good in someone who’s not on your ‘perfect’ list.

• Find something that you have in common with him.
• See the positives rather than point out the negatives.
• See what you can learn from his mistakes and insights.
• Look to see if he’s doing the things he would say are important to him or if he is actually living those things.
• Find a way to connect with the essence of who this person is so that you can get your own lessons on where your future partner needs improvement, but do it in love and kindness.

Remember, imperfection does not mean a person is not worth your time and attention… only that they are not as perfect as you think!

9) A reminder that there is more for you out there

If you dream of a man you’ve never met, your subconscious is suggesting that something else is on your horizon.

It may be that he’s showing you that there are more good men out there, or perhaps it’s a reminder that there are many more good things for you to come across in the future.

Let’s dig a little deeper:

There are still a lot of things about you that are not yet known to the world. You are still young and growing and learning so there is still a lot of discovery and discovery to come.

You may have a lot more to learn, but you don’t need to wait until it’s all figured out before you can find someone who is right for you!

This man can be a little like a beacon in the darkness.

He can show you that there is more out there in life. He can tell you that you don’t need to settle for anything less than what you deserve.

Many people spend their lives searching for something better when the time to let go of their past failures is long gone and their presence can only get better with time.

When someone you have never met appears in your dreams, believe that it’s your subconscious informing you of great things ahead!

10) You’re craving intimacy

One of the meanings when you dream of a man you’ve never met is that you’re craving an intimate connection.

Perhaps you are feeling lonely or want to find a partner for life, or you want to get more intimate with someone – whatever the case, this dream is your subconscious trying to tell you that the current state of your life isn’t quite what it should be.

You may be feeling disconnected from others and from yourself. Perhaps there’s not enough intimacy in your relationships.

Maybe you feel like you’ve lost a piece of yourself in the process of moving on from someone else.

But all it takes is for you to change your perspective on things!

Maybe there’s something missing in your life right now that can create more room for another person who can bring out some new desires and thoughts. You just need to let go of what once was and look forward to what could come next!

11) You feel guilty about something and are trying to rationalize it

The final meaning behind this dream is that you may feel guilty about something.

Perhaps you are having some regrets over something, or maybe you feel like you need to give your life a makeover. Or maybe you broke up with someone, but still have feelings for him.

Maybe you’re lonely and want companionship but are too ashamed to admit it. Even if it’s not you who has rejected someone else, having a dream about the situation can still make you feel like you’ve made a bad choice.

So in your dreams, the guilt of something may be eating at you. You may be dreaming about either making up for past regrets or regretting something you had to do in order to move on with your life.

Whatever the case, this dream is showing you that you’re feeling jittery about something and that it’s not quite right yet.

It could be that you have too many regrets and feel like there is more than one person involved in your situation. Or perhaps it’s a sign that your feelings aren’t at the surface yet and require deeper processing before you can fully accept them.

Hopefully, you’ve been able to gather a little more insight into what this dream means.

Remember that besides the meaning behind it, this dream can also create a lot of anxiety because you’ve never actually met the person.

You’re just not sure why you are dreaming about him!

That’s why it’s so important to find a way to connect with the essence of who this person is so that you can better understand where your subconscious is pulling from.
