premonition or projection?

Dreams can't tell you about other people, they only tell you about you. In this case, the dream is telling you things about yourself that you already know.

If your friend says he's not gay, just believe him. As you can see in other threads, even those who are closeted don't like being pressured to come out. Those who are simply straight like it even less.

 

Ehhhh, it depends on what your belief system is of dreams. There are some that believe when two people think about each other they dream about one another, of course the only way to tell if you have a shared dream is by asking, and usually you dream about desires or things locked away in your subconscious so people generally don't talk about the dreams that feel more private to those that were in them.

I would say... until you have more proof. Its a dream. But don't shut it down. We don't know everything about the world or humans and how it all works so... there may be something. If i was a dream analyst i would tell you that because you are chasing him in the dream you are in fact chasing the desire of him and because you wake up when you reach him, subconsciously you know you can't actually have him. But i'm not so...

 

Absolutely true. I don't think dreams have any supernatural powers. They are only manifestations of what's in your head, whether conscious thoughts or not.

I agree also about not pressuring him to come out, but if you have valid reasons to suspect him, do so, as long as you don't get on his case about it. Make it easy for him if anything.
