I like to ask them if I was in cosplay.

Agreed with the other comment, the context does matter.

I’ve been featured in one my coworker’s dreams apparently. Not in a weird way, she’s told me and the dream was very funny. More like an inside/office type joke that must have snuck into her dream state LOL.

My wife sleep divorced me. LOL.

2 AM, she shoves me awake. She’s sitting on the edge of the bed like the chick from Paranormal Activity.

She pulls her wedding ring off, jams it in my hand, says “We need to make OTHER ARRANGEMENTS! I can’t believe you said THAT in front of our son!!!”

Then she lays back down and is dead asleep.

I’m like “WTAF?” Do I wake her up? Do I sleep with a knife under the pillow?

So I wake her up. She’s pissed, but not “Imma divorce you” pissed, just “It’s 2 AM why are you waking me up?” pissed.

“Do you know what you just did?”

“Wait, what? Why?”

So I hand her the wedding ring back.

“Oh… OH!”

Apparently, in the dream, I had been laying on the couch and she asked me to do something and I responded something along the lines of “Meh, I’d rather be boning Faye.”

Faye. A fictional character from the web comic “Questionable Content” which we both read.

But now it’s hilarious, because when she asks me to do something I can go “Meh, I’d rather be boning Faye.”

Context is sooo important in this case. What sort of dream?

i assume it means they want to have sex with me

I’d be bored out of my mind - same as every time someone starts talking about their dreams.

It’s basically the equivalent of making things up as you go. The moment someone says, “I had this dream last night,” I already know none of it actually happened, and I can’t even pretend to care.

Flattered and curious

I would ask them what the dream was about. The weirder the dream,the better.

Meh. Dreams are just your brain hallucinating while defraging.

I would be silently praying they don’t tell me about it.

My wife and kid have had many dreams with me in it as I have had many dreams with them in it.

I have had three or four co-workers tell me I was in their dreams.

I don’t attach any importance to dreams. They are just random shit that bounces around in my head. I have the classic, what I call anxiety dreams. I can’t crawl across the road and a car is coming. I am in a final I never studied for.

I’d be more alarmed at their desire to tell me about it than anything else.

I dream about people I know all the time, and the context ranges from totally benign boring shit like working a shift together, to the steamy super-taboo family-destroying shit. I then wake up, shrug it off, and start thinking about things I actually care about like what to make for breakfast.

I take zero responsibility for what my brain does when it’s unconscious. It’s a computer made of meat. Gets a little glitchy sometimes when it runs maintenance tasks - those glitches don’t actually mean anything.

Now, approaching a coworker or something to tell them about it? They’re going to be either bored/uninterested, or take it as an invitation to act on something that could destroy our career or family, so… why? If I even remember the dream by the time I see that person, I’m keeping that shit to myself and I’d expect them to do the same if the roles were reversed.

To actually answer OP’s question, I’d probably deflect by saying something stupid like “I had a dream about me too! …hate it when that happens, that guy’s a real jerk!”

Well, it definitely doesn’t mean they’re in love with you, if that’s what you mean. But a lot of people seem to take it that way. For me it’s exciting to hear. I know it doesn’t mean anything about how they view me on a deep level because dreams are just so random, but it’s still fun.

Act surprised and a bit concerned, get a few details and then pretend that I also had the same dream but from the other perspective.
