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

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

I'd frown pretty heavily and wait for them to explain themselves. I highly doubt anyone is dreaming of me in a sexy way and certainly no one is gonna risk a slap for it (a la Moonstruck), so I'm gonna be thinking they had a dream about some horrible fire breathing demon woman screeching at them and possibly burning down their lives.
To which I will say, cool, man. Then wonder wtf I did to traumatize this person.

Think nothing of it. I dream about people in my life all the time and I don't tie any significance to it.

People have told me this before. It's fine.
I especially like when dream me actually acts like real me.

Dreams mean nothing, I wouldn't care but would ask because usually it's something hilariously stupid

someone did say this to me once, i wondered what the dream was since he felt it necessary to tell me (wasnt kind of person who prattles about trivial things). But i never inquired further.
