Is it normal to fall in love with a girl i met only in my dream

So this one night a few weeks ago I saw a dream about a girl that doesn't exist in my real life. The dream felt very long (probably like a year or two) and there was a girl who's name I dont remember, I dont even remember what she looked like or all the things that we did with her, only that I felt and knew she was the girl for me. After I woke up, I felt like I had lost the most important person of my life and I have missed that person since then. Even though I know she wasn't real, I've still thought about her every night before I go to sleep hoping that she would appear to me again in my dreams, but she hasn't.
Although I'm happy with my life I wouldnt have woken up from that dream ever if I could've chosen. (Nothing to do with death)
Sorry if this sounds creepy.

I'm a 21-year old guy and I haven't really fallen in love ever in my life. There has been a few girls I've had physical relationship with though. Maybe this is a way my mind is trying to fill in the thing I'm missing or something?

Have any of you guys experienced anything similar? Please tell me your stories.

    Awww, it's really special that you got to have a dream like that. I've had a few of them in my lifetime but they happen very rarely.

    If it makes you feel any better, those are the same feelings you will eventually feel when you fall in love with a real person one day. For now, cherish the unconscious experience of it, it's a special dream to have. Lucky you. (:

    I've had many such dreams, but they were always different non-existent guys. And oddly, I have found love and have even had these dreams while with my boyfriend. They are among my favorite types of dreams :)

    The main one I remember, about 6 years ago, was about a garbage man who wore a blue jumpsuit and had dark hair, but did not seem dirty to me.A little chunky and not extremely attractive, but he won my heart over. He had this truck (not a garbage truck)that he made magic with. He could make it move and jump and lights blink without pushing buttons.The atmosphere was dusky and blue,or perhaps it was dawn, like the intoxication of love. I will never forget the garbage man of my dreams. tee hee.

    i said no, only because you need some girl in your life, your 21. your brain is telling you that you need something more in your life. You need love dude.

    I have not had this sort of dream, but i have had a dream where I gave birth (yes, I'm a girl) and honestly it was weird(because i was young at the time and never even occurred to me as a thought). Like I could feel the happiness and dopamine rush over me in the dream and probably the happiest I've ever like physically felt. this was when I didn't have a boyfriend 2 years ago and it was really confusing because I pledged on no dating for some time (after a bad break up) so maybe is the same sort of thing. Like you need some happiness in your life.

    Fact. Brain cannot create faces so any face you've seen in your dream you've seen in real life.

    Take sleeping pills and stay in a dream.

    I've had a few dreams like that before. Waking up and realizing that it isn't real is quite disheartening.

    Sort-of normal: Uncommon, but not bad.

    Wow, doesn't that make things easy!
    I'll bet she's exactly what you like in a girl. Never talks back, always has your back, loves sex with you whenever you want and has only wonderful replies to your questions.
    We should all have the "girl of our dreams"!

    You actually cannot "make up" someone in a dream. The mind cannot create faces, therefore, you had to have seen this girl somewhere before, you just may not remember where. That being said, people have fallen love with people at first sight, so no, I don't think it's abnormal.

      Where did you read that? Doesn't sound like a scientific fact to me. The science of dreams is too complex a study to even prove something like that. I did hear that somewhere but I don't think it's a bona fide fact. Seems unlikely. If you can imagine it, seems likely you could dream it.

      That is completely untrue. :P
      People have imaginations and can make up new characters when they are conscious and unconscious.

      Like others said, this doesn't make sense.

      The thing about dreams is that anything goes and the mind is very capable of imagining anything.
