What does it mean when a teacher in real life appears in a dream?

Two nights in a row I have had vivid dreams that were about myself and a woman who is in real life a spiritual teacher to me. Is it possible that she really was there, or is it my mind making up her presence? It feels so real.

In the dream from the night before last, she sent me to a bathroom for a vision quest. When I remembered the dream yesterday, I laughed and laughed thinking that the only thing that might appear in a bathroom vision quest would be my own "____"!

Last night I dreamt that I was sitting in a circle of people, where she was focusing her attention on one person at a time. We were just outside of this old building that was being beautifully renovated by a young woman. I was preoccupied by the beauty, and absent-mindedly got up to wander around. My teacher called me back to the circle and said that she would like to work with me next. I said o.k. The person that she had been working with for some time was angry with me and said to me "You shouldn't be here - it is my turn". With the other people in the circle my teacher had just been talking to individuals. With me, she asked if I was comfortable, and I said yes (I was seated on the ground). Then she moved straight to me, and pushed me back on the ground, and smushed herself on top of me. She was using her entire body, doing some kind of body work on me. I started giggling in embarassment, because the corner of my mouth was smushed open, and I started drooling a little bit out of it. I felt completely safe being so close to her, other than the embarassment and surprize. After several minutes I realized that it was my heart chakra she was working with, and that she was using her whole body to manually stretch it open. I had absolutely no resistance to it openning to her, and when it finally started to stretch open it felt wonderful. This morning my heart chakra feels light and open, and I feel a deepened bond of love and trust with my teacher.
