Psychology
Talking with a crush can be a rehearsal of words you have not yet said. The continuity hypothesis holds that what we dwell on by day tends to appear at night. How you felt while talking, calm or tense, shows your true emotional temperature.
Folklore and history
In the Heian period some believed a person appears in your dream because they are thinking of you, their spirit travelling to you. Many classical poems long to meet a loved one in dreams. Modern dream readers usually treat a pleasant talk with a crush as a good sign.

This site's view
In this site's view, how the talk ended matters. Parting with a smile and a wave shows room to let the bond grow naturally. If your voice stopped reaching them or their face blurred, you may care more about how you look to them than about them. Dream voices often speak the words you wanted to say.
Going deeper: our reading
In a dream of talking with someone you like, notice the topic. Casual chat about music or food suggests you want to grow closer naturally in everyday life rather than through big moments. Confiding a worry shows you increasingly see them as someone you can rely on. In this site's reading, the setting is also a clue. A school or office means you see them as an extension of reality; a beach or an unfamiliar city may mean you are idealising them and building a special stage in the dream. It may count as a caution because a perfectly kind dream partner can make small gaps with the real person feel discouraging. This is our speculation, but if you spoke surprisingly well in the dream, you already have something you want to say. Try saying one sentence of it, not to the dream version, but to the real person.
What to do on waking

Turning a bad dream
In Japan, people once tried to turn a worrying dream for the better: a baku charm under the pillow, telling the dream to a nandina bush, or reciting an old dream-turning poem. Read the column on dream trading and dream-turning
