I’d be more alarmed at their desire to tell me about it than anything else.
I dream about people I know all the time, and the context ranges from totally benign boring shit like working a shift together, to the steamy super-taboo family-destroying shit. I then wake up, shrug it off, and start thinking about things I actually care about like what to make for breakfast.
I take zero responsibility for what my brain does when it’s unconscious. It’s a computer made of meat. Gets a little glitchy sometimes when it runs maintenance tasks - those glitches don’t actually mean anything.
Now, approaching a coworker or something to tell them about it? They’re going to be either bored/uninterested, or take it as an invitation to act on something that could destroy our career or family, so… why? If I even remember the dream by the time I see that person, I’m keeping that shit to myself and I’d expect them to do the same if the roles were reversed.
To actually answer OP’s question, I’d probably deflect by saying something stupid like “I had a dream about me too! …hate it when that happens, that guy’s a real jerk!”
