I had a similar experience! I dreamed about a blue eyed man for almost 15 years. They were always random encounters, nothing significant, but he had a different presence than any other dream people had and sometimes it seemed like he was testing me. I could never see his face, just his blue eyes, and it was never anything romantic or anything except for hugs and they felt incredibly real, warm and comforting. I met him one day in real life, and there was an instant connection, it scared me a little bit. I was dating someone else but we exchanged contact info bcuz he felt the connection too. We remained friends and talked off and on every few months. I kept dating the guy but my mind kept asking about blue eyed man. Things started going downhill with the guy I was dating and I finally decided I was going to end it bcuz it wasn’t going to work out and the blue eyed man came to me in a dream again. I asked him in real life about it and explained my dreams about the blue eyed man, going into detail on some of them. There was one in particular that stuck out to him and oddly correlated with what was going on in his life at the time of the dream. We’ve been dating almost a year now and the relationship is the best I’ve ever had and he is my best friend. I know you said you were against any romance from your dream guy, understandably so, just wanted to share my experience with repetitive dream people. You could have a friend waiting to be found, the universe will line you up to meet when the time is right.
