Is it normal to have a vivid dream about a guy you barely know?

This really isn't that big of a deal, but it's very strange to me. **Warning: Long post. Sorry.*

This guy is in my math class, and I've never talked to him (or ever had the chance to, really). He's friends with A LOT of people, including some of my friends (which is kind of surprising, being that I'm not friends with that many people). At first glance, he seems like a class clown and a flirt. I mean, I think he's definitely a flirt. He talks to girls in a certain way (trust me, I can tell!). Sometimes he looks at me in a "certain way" or just looks at me and I just look away or ignore it (I'm a really shy person, definitely not a flirt haha).
But....he's actually really smart! He does really well in our math class, and he did really well on the SAT.
BUT......on his twitter (yeah, I know...internet stalking) he talks about girls, boobs, the works. He has school spirit...blah blah. Just random things that I don't think I would never like in a guy if they talked about those things.

Getting to the actual dream:
Apparently we both have liked each other (not exactly sure how long). All of my friends think that we look cute together. One day, I'm walking and my friend tells me that he's waiting for me at the front entrance. I could feel the embarrassment and butterflies. Once I got to the front entrance, I tried to avoid seeing him first so I went to the bathroom close by. When I opened the door, I figure out that he's sitting IN the women's bathroom. I then slowly (but awkwardly) back out of the bathroom and say, "what are you doing here?". As I turn my back towards the bathroom door, I feel him hug me from behind. His face is pressed against the back of my head. I could feel my hair being smothered by his embrace. He mumbles something, but it's muffled in my hair that I can't make out what he said.
Because it felt so real, I couldn't help but feel really weird inside because I know that we actually don't know each other in real life.
The dream continued where we were just talking, but I zoned out because I was still shocked about what happened I guess.
Then I woke up.

This is the first time I've ever had such a dream that I can remember so well after I've woken up.

What do you think this means? I think he's kind of attractive, but I don't know about how he's such a flirt...also I've never even talked to him!
I don't fall for guys easily...I'm not the type of girl that just goes out with guys, whether or not I like them or they like me. Shyness...ugh.
This is just all so weird for me...I don't know what to think.
I probably won't even be able to look in his direction anymore.
Please let me know what you think, because I'm lost.

Thanks. :)

    Dreaming about certain people means they stand out to you in some way, in my experience anyway. I often dream about a guy I hardly know, who works at Starbucks and remembers I always get a java chip frap lol. Anyway it doesn't mean I like him in that way, even though he is kind of cute. I've had a crush on a totally different guy for a while, who also appears in my dreams a lot. You said you find this guy attractive, even though you don't talk so maybe that's why you dreamed about him. Yep, those are just my thoughts :)

      I agree with you 100%. I mean, usually, I have dreams about random people...but for some reason this one particular dream stood out to me.
      Do you think I should even have a crush on this guy? Or is it not worth my time? I'm such a shy person, this is why I'm so unsure.... >_<

        Well you can't control your feelings for someone...try talking to him if you get a chance. If y'all get along, that's great. If not, at least you'll know to move on. Good luck.

    It's completely normal. You could have a dream about a person you just happen to glance at in a grocery store. The mind is weird.

      Yeah. I think another reason as to why I had a dream of him was because I was thinking about him the night before? I don't even know why though. I really don't like having crushes on guys.
      Also, I heard that you cannot dream about faces that you have ever seen before? I think that's pretty weird but interesting.

    Yeah i agree with you K. Maybe this dream is just making you aware that you are attracted to this person or the other way round. I've also experienced someting like that i mean i always dream about my teacher that i can't even face him anymore. I sonetimes think that he's aware of that because when he sees me he looks away or walks away. About that i really don't know why,sometimes i just ask myself wether he's also dreaming about me or what. He can't just act for me for no reason though something is really going on...

      Haha that'd be so weird if the dreaming was mutual! There could be some other reason he's acting that way, though. But yeah, don't over analyze it. And trust me, I over analyze a lot...but I hate it. Lol

    Well obviously he stands out to you, by the way you talk about him. So I think he's just made an imprint on your mind, and your subconscious is bringing it forward, to your attention. I don't think it means anything necessarily. Just that he's made an impression on you. Hope I helped. Good luck =]

      You're so right.
      It's just, I can't stop thinking about it, you know?
      I feel like I've now developed some sort of "crush" on him. And we barely know each other. Yikes.
      I mean, he's a flirt, so it's probably bad news for me to even consider right?

        Well you can kind of fall for every person, if they have or do something you may like (like him being smart or something) then you'll probably care less about him being a flirt (or something like that.. I don't know) I remember I met this guy, he smelled really nice (I like guys with good smell okay?) and was really nice to talk to and he'd take care for you, even if you didn't know each other so well, well guess what, he did disgusting things, talked about disgusting things, was open about masturbating, telling everyone about his collection of condoms (even though he's a virgin) has a monobrow that he won't shave cause he's like really in love with it, and I am like overly obsessively in love with him. And that's only cause he's the only one that actually shows he cares for me if I got hit by a truck (and he smells so god damn nice). What I'm trying to say.. once you have a little crush on one part of someone's personality (or their sweet innocent addictive smell that you wouldn't mind getting high on), you'll probably forget the other's, you only worry about them, but it's not really affecting you.. if you get what I mean? Even I don't get what I mean, never mind.. sorry if I wasted like 5 minutes of your life... Yeah, awkward.

          Hahahah, no it's fine!
          I get what you're trying to say.
          I haven't even gotten to know him yet, so maybe once I do, it probably will change my perspective in how I see him. I mean, my friends are friends with him for some good reason, I'm sure.
          I don't like to judge people so quickly, but I'm also skeptical you know? I don't see a problem in talking to him.

          Btw, I saw him today in class...he was talking to his friend that sat at the same table as mine. I was trying so hard not to look in his direction oh gosh. I sound like such a child LOL.

    I had a cool dream once about a girl in my class, and we were holding hands on an escalator. I am 5'7" and she's 5'10" and so the funny thing about the escalator being there was that she was one step below me so were practically the same height. I also think she has a nice body and great personality but because I'm shy I never talked to her once. She really intimidates me because she's social, has a lot of friends and talks with everyone and I'm exactly the opposite, people barely know I exist and when they do talk to me the conversation is always awkward and short because I'm bad at coming up with things to talk about and can't keep anyone's attention for long
