As of a few months ago I'm 18 years of age and I will soon be completing my first semester in college.

About a two months ago my roommate and I both confessed to each other our sexualities, revealing that we each were bisexual. Ever since then I've been having random dreams about her and I in romantic ways.

In one of my more recent dreams on this I awoke laying in bed with her right next to me. She was randomly poking my face, and when I asked what in the world she was doing she sat up, pulled me up to her by the collar of my t-shirt, and gave me a deep kiss. After the initial shock, I swear I was in heaven. A few seconds later she slowly pulled back a couple inches, leaving me completely bewildered and flustered all at the same time.

Later on in my dream the scene changed to a fancy hotel. I was walking aimlessly around the giant lobby and all of a sudden a person in some sort of a freaky costume (I can't remember exactly what it was) jumped out and scared the hell out of me! I ran into a nearby souvenir shop inside the hotel, curled up on the ground, and cried, fearing for my life. Not long after, my roommate ran into the shop and held me close, reassuring me everything was okay. I felt an immediate sense of security and began to calm down.

I know the second half of that isn't really romantic per se, but it still left me with odd feelings when I woke up. This example is just one of many of the same kind, where my roommate and I have some sort of romantic connection.

Now, I'm generally not a very touchy-feely person and have a strong belief in the personal space bubble, but I can't help but not want to do anything but be close to her, in dream and in reality. I'm not sure if I just have a petty crush or if my dreams are influencing my emotions, but it's all starting to become very confusing to me and I don't know what to do.
I have not told my roommate about any of this for two reasons; one, she has a boyfriend that she's very committed to, and two, I have a very hard time opening up to people and saying exactly what's on my mind.

I just don't know what to do or think about things anymore!

In your dream, your roomate represents an aspect of your concious thinking. Consider how you would describe her personality...the traits you see in her are the very traits within you that the dream is addressing. The face represents identity. When she pokes your face until you wake up...this shows how that part of your thinking is drawing attention to how you view who you are. The kiss symbolizes you desire to engage that part of your personality. In other words, she represents a part of your personality that apparently gives you strength, compassion, security,etc. You are in need of that so you welcome it although you normally don't identify with those traits. That is why you had an initial 'shock'. The second half reveals a 'costumed' aspect of yourself. This is that part of you that wants to keep you from seeing the truth of things. Fear, in a dream, shows a refusal to see beneath the surface or behind the scenes. Again, your roomate comes into play as the comforter/caretaker. Look over your life and see where circumstances are starting to or have been weighing a little heavy on you. Notice during these times how you may have to think a little differently to get you through. This could also explain, in parr, why you may have an attraction toward your roomate. God bless.
