My subconscious is trying to destroy me

I've always had an over-active imagination. In some instances that's been great. I'm hardly ever bored because I just let my mind wander. But on the other hand, sometimes it wanders into dangerous places that then my conscious has to rescue me from. The way that my subconscious is the most rebellious is in my dreams. I understand that no one can really control what they dream about, but what happens when your dreams are so real they hurt you in real life? There's this boy, much like always, that I've been 'seeing'. Mostly we've been texting and I've seen him a few times, but it seems like things are going okay. I asked him when we started talking if this was working towards a relationship or if it was just for fun. I've grown to the point that I don't really mind either way, I just felt like I deserved to know. So I've known from the get-go that this is just for fun. Well the other night I had one of my crazy realistic dreams. In it, he arrived at my house during a party we were having. We just showed up out of the blue and asked to talk to me outside. I followed him and he told me that he really wanted to meet my parents. So I went and got them and he told them that he would like to take me out because even though we haven't known each other very long that he knew I was special. Then he came inside with me and started introducing himself to people from my church. I woke up in the morning and felt exceedingly empty, I hadn't realized how badly I wanted to be with him. So, is my subconscious just trying to make me realize and come to terms with something I've probably known all along, or is it just trying to screw with my brain and hurt me? Either way, sometimes it really sucks to have such on over-active imagination.
