Dreaming of an old friend- should I be worried about him?

[Leiawyn]

Last night I dreamt of a friend who I was very close to in high school (we were both artists and had advanced art together). After high school, we talked a lot but we never really were able to see eachother a lot due to distance and things going on within our own separate lives. I haven't seen him in a very long time (about a year) and had a dream about him last night.

In my dream, all of his family and close friends abandoned him and he came to me for support. He was crying heavily and gave me a long hug and thanked me for always being there for him. He kissed me on the cheek (in a friend-to-friend manner, nothing romantic) and left. The dream ended. When I woke, I automatically felt a sinking feeling in my chest.

Do you think others' emotions can come to you in dreams? Should I be worried about him...or is the dream just my own personal feelings and my own subconscious mind? Any insight is appreciated.
*The last time we saw eachother was last Halloween at small party with close friends.

It could be a sign that you should reconnect with old friends (not just him in particular). I really don't think you should be worried, but you never know. It could also be a symbol of comfort. either that you feel like you need comfort, or a sign that you should always be willing to comfort someone. It could also be a sign that you will be in need of comfort from an old friend or an old friend will find comfort in you. It may also be a sign of willingness to show vulnerability and love. -Just my thoughts, I'm not a professional dream interpreter or anything haha
