Well this dream is kinda odd to me. Me and my family are sitting in the living room and we hear a knock on the door. Well my brother gets up and answers it, and he said "hey it's for you(referring to me)" and I said "huh?" He said "it's such and such girl(the girl being my old life long friend I had feelings for that I referred to in my last two dreams here). And I froze up and my eyes just got big as she walked in to me. She was smiling at me as soon as she walked in. As soon as she got to me we started talking about something. Whatever it was the whole time we were smiling. Then she mentioned she wanted to have dinner with me and my family. Then I wake up, but the thing is I'm still dreaming. I wake up from sleeping with my head on my desk and my dad walks in and said "when are you gonna have dinner with her?(he said her name, you know my old life long friend, but i'm not saying it here)" and I said "what? it wasn't a dream?" and he said "no, so when your gonna have dinner with her?" And that's when I actually wake up.
If you dream about family, it may be a way for your mind to express feelings and concerns about your real family that you could not express in daily life. Some believe that this dream usually has nothing to do with your actual family members, but rather the male and female sides of your own personality or self. So in a dream, your father may represent your expressive and protective aspects, while your mother could stand for your receptive and nurturing side. If family members behave very differently in a dream than they do in real life, or if unexpected things happen when you are with your dream family, the dream is probably a way of releasing your anxiety about real life family issues. If you hear knocking in your dream, it may mean that your unconscious is trying to attract your attention and wake you up. Knocking can also mean that a new door will be opening and offering you a great opportunity. Friends signify aspects of your personality that have been developing and making you grow as a person. The relationships you have with those around you are important in learning about yourself, so look to the friends you dreamed about for signals of personality traits they have that you desire in yourself, and work on those things. Additionally, dreaming of friends sometimes foretells that you will hear happy news from them. To dream that you are happy may be a means of self help and often indicates that you need some cheering up. You may be trying to compensate for the sadness or stress in your waking life.
