How would you react if someone said they had a dream of you in it?

Agreed with the other comment, the context does matter.
I've been featured in one my coworker's dreams apparently. Not in a weird way, she's told me and the dream was very funny. More like an inside/office type joke that must have snuck into her dream state LOL.

hey hey hey there. Lets not get hasty here. We are all earth bros here and there is no such things as aliens. I mean if their were wouldn't they like manipulating the media to get idiots into power so that they could easily take over and protect their agents. Thats like illegal immigrant type talk.
Wrong there. Definitely human.
Sorry guys, false alarm.

So years ago, I was going through chemotherapy, and was seeing an oncologist regularly. She was my age more or less and very attractive and single, but also an oncologist treating me professionally.
We got along very well and generally ended up talking about things other than my treatment (which is how I learned she was single - she shared that fact unprompted), but even with that, I never pushed it - it just seemed too weird to actually pursue a relationship with my oncologist. I couldn't be sure how much of it was just in my head - some weird doctor/patient dependency thing - and besides, she was a responsible professional and I was a house painter living in a duplex and spending my spare time smoking pot and playing disc golf, so it wasn't like I had anything of actual value to offer. So I just contented myself with pleasant conversations every two weeks.
Then one day, right near the end of my treatment, seemingly out of nowhere, she said, "I dreamed about you last night."
I panicked. I couldn't imagine any follow-up to that that wasn't going to be weird or disappointing or stressful.
I don't remember what I said or how the conversation went from there, but it was noncommittal enough that I never learned the details of her dream, and our last few appointments were straightforwardly professional, and that was that. My cancer never recurred, and I haven't seen her since.
I've always wondered, but you know - if I had it to do over again, I doubt I'd do any differently.
I panicked [...] I don't remember what I said
"How wet was that dream?"
That's the correct response - in case you want to memorize it for next time

Meh. Dreams are just your brain hallucinating while defraging.

I would be silently praying they don't tell me about it.

I'd be more alarmed at their desire to tell me about it than anything else.
I dream about people I know all the time, and the context ranges from totally benign boring shit like working a shift together, to the steamy super-taboo family-destroying shit. I then wake up, shrug it off, and start thinking about things I actually care about like what to make for breakfast.
I take zero responsibility for what my brain does when it's unconscious. It's a computer made of meat. Gets a little glitchy sometimes when it runs maintenance tasks - those glitches don't actually mean anything.
Now, approaching a coworker or something to tell them about it? They're going to be either bored/uninterested, or take it as an invitation to act on something that could destroy our career or family, so... why? If I even remember the dream by the time I see that person, I'm keeping that shit to myself and I'd expect them to do the same if the roles were reversed.
To actually answer OP's question, I'd probably deflect by saying something stupid like "I had a dream about me too! ...hate it when that happens, that guy's a real jerk!"

I’d be bored out of my mind - same as every time someone starts talking about their dreams.
It’s basically the equivalent of making things up as you go. The moment someone says, "I had this dream last night," I already know none of it actually happened, and I can’t even pretend to care.

Damn I am the exact opposite, I love hearing about people’s dreams as long as they keep it somewhat brief like under 2 minutes because they are usually the most unhinged illogical thing

You know it's bad when your memories smell like sour cream and onion.
Urgh. Every morning with this guy. I always wake up like I've been drinking all night, and the back of my eyeballs feel shat on

Only on roads and sidewalks... and in trains and buildings and at ball games... on buses and grocery stores and malls and bananas and in the sky. But not in dreams, no sir-ee!
And don't forget milk cartons

I would ask for more details and then do an analysis of the dream, knowing that the dream has nothing to do with me. I'm just a symbol for something else, like a feeling or thought.

I would ask them what the dream was about. The weirder the dream,the better.

My wife and kid have had many dreams with me in it as I have had many dreams with them in it.
I have had three or four co-workers tell me I was in their dreams.
I don’t attach any importance to dreams. They are just random shit that bounces around in my head. I have the classic, what I call anxiety dreams. I can’t crawl across the road and a car is coming. I am in a final I never studied for.

My wife sleep divorced me. LOL.
2 AM, she shoves me awake. She's sitting on the edge of the bed like the chick from Paranormal Activity.
She pulls her wedding ring off, jams it in my hand, says "THIS IS FOR YOU! We need to make OTHER ARRANGEMENTS! I can't believe you said THAT in front of our son!!!"
Then she lays back down and is dead asleep.
I'm like "WTAF?" Do I wake her up? Do I sleep with a knife under the pillow?
So I wake her up. She's pissed, but not "Imma divorce you" pissed, just "It's 2 AM why are you waking me up?" pissed.
"Do you know what you just did?"
"Wait, what? Why?"
So I hand her the wedding ring back.
"Oh... OH!"
Apparently, in the dream, I had been laying on the couch and she asked me to do something and I responded something along the lines of "Meh, I'd rather be boning Faye."
Faye. A fictional character from the web comic "Questionable Content" which we both read.
https://questionablecontent.fandom.com/wiki/Faye_Whitaker
But now it's hilarious, because when she asks me to do something I can go "Meh, I'd rather be boning Faye."
In her defense if you'd rather be porking that ball of anxiety who causes every man in her orbit to experience full on ego collapse than your wife, she has every right to divorce you. And Jeph can pay her legal fees, god knows he has the patreon money for it

Well, it definitely doesn't mean they're in love with you, if that's what you mean. But a lot of people seem to take it that way. For me it's exciting to hear. I know it doesn't mean anything about how they view me on a deep level because dreams are just so random, but it's still fun.

Act surprised and a bit concerned, get a few details and then pretend that I also had the same dream but from the other perspective.

If it was a woman I'd potentially assume she was flirting with me
