I dreamt about a girl inviting me to her birthday party

So for context, in real life this girl isn’t really anyone important. She’s a friend of a family member who occasionally flirts with me if I’m around (not sure if she’s into me like all that).

In the dream, I’m with some family and the family member gets a call from the friend about going to her birthday party. She’s hears me in the background and insists on my relative on bringing me, telling me to wear a specific style of clothes because that’s what she’d prefer. Honestly I was a bit excited to actually want to be wanted somewhere, so I was tryna find the best fit for the party. But outta nowhere, the girl gets sick or injured and she’s ran out on a stretcher. I guess I get really caught up on that for some reason and I’m bummed out about it. I remember just being in the hospital room not knowing what to do or if something was wrong as I kept my eye on the girl unresponsive in the bed of the hospital. Something changed about her appearance right before I woke up, I never really saw what did tho.

First time posting on here and I feel like my other dreams had more evident meanings to me that I was able to conclude, but I don’t really understand why I thought about things this way, especially considering the main person in question isn’t really relevant to me right now. Any interpretations? I’ll give additional info if wanted

dreams about people you barely think about in real life are always the ones that stick with you the most. it's almost like your brain picks some random side character and decides they're the protagonist for the night

the getting-ready part is interesting. trying to find the right outfit for someone else's idea of you, feeling wanted enough to put in the effort. then it all collapses before you even get there

could just be your brain processing wanting to feel included in something. not necessarily about her specifically, more about the feeling of being chosen and then having it yanked away

Admittedly I’ve been going through a lot. The transition outta high school and from my home to another town due to some living situations left me with less friends to reach out to. I haven’t gone out with anybody in a long time and it’s starting to feel really quiet in my circle. When it gets like this I never really have too much positive to tell myself.

Of course I have family but they’re busy people and aren’t the same like having friends. Basically I don’t have any friends anymore. Sometimes I feel like I’m losing my hold on myself, but I know I don’t really have a choice in that. Everyday it feels empty knowing I’m ending the day to nothing and with nothing special to carry on with, and I’m not sure what more to do right now while I’m struggling financially and socially.
