Dream About Roommates And Friendship

in this dream, i am living in a house or condo with four other people; three guys and one girl. while i'm friends with two of the guys and the girl, there is one main guy who does not like me. i think he does not like me because the first time he met me i said something that he thought was rude about the fact that he was a father. He has a young baby girl and is not on good terms with the mother but I am. I think he misconstrued what I said as me being on the side of his baby mama and not his side, even though it was probably just him projecting. he is a little cold to me and ignores me; when i chime in during conversations he is passive aggressive and sees what i say in a negative light. I'm not quite sure how to approach him but the other roommates want us to get along. He is a filmmaker and is about to release a film so we're gonna have a big screening party but during the time that we start living together I kind of avoid him and he kind of avoids me and the other roommates tell me that he can sometimes be saying rude things about me behind my back because he doesn't understand my personality. I don’t care too much because i know if he gets to know me, he’ll like me just like the rest of the house. I know that if we have a conversation things will be okay, I'm just a little bit wary of upsetting him again because I love his little baby girl. I can't remember why but the baby’s mother is not fully in the picture so he is eventually going to get custody of his daughter. I felt like that was a good segue for us to become friends and i also love films while the other roommates don’t so we have a common interest. the other roommates are convincing me to say something to him and apologize in the right way when he releases this film and we have the big screening party which is going to be a surprise party. I'm good friends with the two other guys and the and one of the guys has a crush on the girl roommate and I know that but i can sense it’s just friends. When we have the party I realized that this male roommate is a little bit awkward and is trying to flirt with her but she has her eyes on another one of our female friends so I realized that she is gay and I pick up on the vibes and try to be a little bit of a matchmaker by inviting the friend she has eyes on to stay after and help clean up. Before the surprise party, the filmmaker guy gives us an early screening of his film, and I use this as a way to talk about filmmaking with him, and i give good feedback and he realizes that I'm genuinely interested in his craft, and he starts to warm up to me. And once his young daughter is in his custody, I try my best to play with her and take care of her as much as possible, and eventually he warms up to me, and we become good friends. His movie is a big success after it is released, and he begins to experience a new level of fame and recognition that makes him a bit uncomfortable and very busy, but he ultimately embraces it so that he can gain footing in the filmmaking community. i babysit a lot to help him out and out of affection for his daughter. further along in the dream, we eventually develop feelings for each other, and we become intimate, but i don’t see/experience it. i just know that it happened by the way, we start to move around each other and the other roommates in the house. fast forward a couple years and his little girl is a toddler and we are having another gathering as roommates this time it's outdoors. his little girl has become friends with these two young boys in the area and it's all just happiness and peace; we become a little family. eventually with the other male roommates move out slowly one by one leaving just me, the filmmaker guy and the other girl who was about to move out. at this point, the girl's mother is back in the picture and she is co-parenting with the filmmaker guy while we maintain somewhat of a secret friends with benefits relationship but since I was friends with the baby mama in the past I don't feel comfortable telling her what's going on and obviously the guy doesn't tell her. when she does find out she is shocked because she only remembers when he hated me and is also upset about the fact that I am so close with her daughter. It compounds the inadequacy she feels at not being in her daughters life early on. I think she was struggling with being a young mom when she didn’t feel ready so she ran away from her responsibilities but is now ready to be in the girls life again. She not mad at me though because she realizes that I had a hand in raising her daughter and is appreciative. But she wants to rekindle her relationship with the filmmaker guy so I determine that it's best for me to remove myself from the picture so that there's not any weird energy as they try to be a family together. it is a little bit sad but I know that it is in the best interest of the mom and the daughter for them to be together, even though the little girl is like my little bestie but I have to respect her mom. I eventually move out of the house and I don't stay in touch with the filmmaker guy, but I am in contact with the other female roommate, but not the other two guys (one is still salty about being rejected by the female roommate but he gets over it eventually). fast forward again. It has been 10 years since the release of Filmmaker guys film from the beginning of the dream and there is a special screening that I attend; I am invited by the female roommate that I'm still in touch with and at the end of the screening of the film, there is an in-memoriam slideshow. that is where I learn that the filmmaker and his daughter have both passed away as well as some other people that we were friends with when we all lived together. I know the daughter was about to celebrate her 11th birthday so she was young and seeing her image shocks me and makes me very sad that she did not get to live out her life in the way that I knew that she could because she was so smart and ambitious and I loved her when she was growing up even though I didn't know the girl that she had become. I learn eventually from the female roommate that the girl was dared to do something by her friends, and because she did it, she passed away two days later (maybe a serious injury). the grief plunged filmmaker into a downward spiral that eventually claimed his life and he wasn't able to create any more art. While the ending is tragic, I didn't wake up from the dream feeling sad, just a bittersweet sense of nostalgia.
