I had a lucid dream of the guy I (literally) slept with, whats wrong with me?

Back in May, I found myself involved with a guy I met online. We had spent a night together at a hotel—nothing romantic, just a shared evening of eating, drinking, and talking. He was generous, paid for everything, and although he made some awkward remarks, they didn’t seem harmful. We ended up staying up until 3 a.m., but nothing happened beyond that.

The next morning, we had breakfast at the hotel buffet, then spent time at the pool, sauna, and spa. It was a relaxing, enjoyable time overall. I found him trustworthy enough to share some personal details, although I always felt we were on different levels in life. Still, I thought of it as just a pleasant one-time experience.

But last night, I had a vivid, lucid dream about him. In the dream, we were together, somewhere unfamiliar, and I found myself being more touchy, holding his hand and dropping hints that he seemed to like. Then, he pulled me close, wrapped his arms around me, and I could feel my heart pounding. As he whispered something in my ear, I suddenly woke up.

The dream felt so real. Even now, hours later, I can’t shake the feeling. Why did it feel so intense? Do I actually like him, or is it just the idea of him? It's been months, so why is this coming up now?

I’m confused. So confused.
