Dreamed about an old childhood friend

I’m sure there are a lot of posts like this on here, but it was a really unusual experience for me since I had never dreamed of someone random like this before. She was some kind of hospital worker (which is weird since I don’t remember her ever talking about wanting to do something like that.) At first it seemed like we met by accident but then apparently I knew she would be there and I was going to visit. Later on we were playing some kind of game along with one of my current friends and two random people I couldn’t recognize.

I’ve been under a lot of stress lately, so I assume this is some kind of nostalgia for simpler times. At first I thought she was a really random person to dream of but I had forgotten we were actually very close when we were young.

I don’t really read into dreams too much and I’m a generally non spiritual person but this one felt different for some reason.
