Is it normal to think of a teacher as your mom?

My mom and I had a bad fight, and I was really sad after. I thought she didn't care about me anymore and that she didn't want me as her daughter. But that night, I had a dream. It was at school, and I go to a k-8 school so she didn't really teach my class (she was the 1st grade teacher). But I see her everyday walking past my classroom, before and after school and all that. But in the dream, she was just like there I guess. And my siblings. She was acting as if she was my mom, doing all that motherly stuff or whatever. But not like cooking, cleaning, or things like that. Just like her presence there made me feel like she was my mom. And I also had dreams like this on other nights. She's like my second mom when my true mom doesn't feel like my real mother. I just really like being around her, even if we don't see each other much. But I'm pretty sure that she doesn't feel the same way, since we don't communicate as often. She's just really loving, sweet, and cares about everyone, even if they aren't in her class, I guess. I dunno. Is this normal?

    Experiencing this as a female, I do think this is normal. I thought of a teacher when I was in high school as a dad. Not in a gross way or anything but he was really nice, and growing up without a proper father figure, he really inspired me. When he left the school I was really sad! But I still remember him to this day.

    I had basically the same thing happen to me. My sixth grade homeroom teacher (taught me math and social studies) was always there for me, and whenever she sees me know, she asks me how things have been, and she actually cares about how I have been. I just got a letter in the mail from her today, and it made me bawl my eyes out. She is such a kind, sweet, loving person and I think of her as my second mother. I had a dream a month or so ago that my parents just left me, and that the one day I went to school very upset, and she asked me what was wrong. I explained, and she told me that I could come live with her for a while. She ended up getting custody of me..... but that was all just a dream. :'( She gets me a present for Christmas, and sends me something in the mail for my birthday, as it is in the summer. She has three kids, and each one of them is like a sibling to me. Andrew is in third grade and he is the cutest thing. He plays a bunch of sports and is super athletic. Gracie is in eighth grade, and she is so much like me. Anna is in tenth grade and she is very musically talented. I get along with them so much better than I get along with my actual sister. They all treat me like I am part of their family... And these or only a few of the reasons why Mrs. Jennifer Rightmyer is my second mother.
