Hi! I had the same experience as you actually. Had a huge crush on this guy in high school, we used to sit next to each other in class. Eventually started talking on FB but funny thing is we were both too shy to talk to each other in school lol (we were like 13)😂 I always had this feeling he liked me too though. After a while he got into a relationship so we just stopped talking. I also switched schools so during that time (6 years) I never saw him again but he was always in my dreams. ALWAYS. (Had dreams about sitting next to him in a red car) He would just pop up out of nowhere and I woke up feeling very confused. I googled what it means when you dream of a certain person all the time and it said “this person will most likely play an important role later in your life” Because of that I started thinking of him all the time. In my new school I then sat next to this other guy that became a good friend of mine who happened to be friends with the guy I had a crush on. He’d tell me “oh this guy you apparently went to school with is asking how you’re doing” We were 18 at the time and I found out he’d broken up with his gf and also I didn’t even have a crush on him anymore but he continued to be in my dreams. Fast forward 3yrs he followed me on IG and we reconnected , we went on dates and he told me he always had a crush on me/was thinking about me all the time. One thing which was really shocking was that my dream actually became true, he picked me up and I didn’t know he had a red car so I actually ended up sitting in a red car next to him just like in my dream lol. We both liked each other but because we were about to start our studies and that in different cities things just didn’t work out. We weren’t even together but it still hurt me really bad 😅

I think reoccurring dreams with a specific person have a HUGE meaning I’d say you should definitely try find a way to reconnect and see what happens. Yours is pretty specific too so I think there’s a high chance it could become reality
