There are many ways to reply to a “sweet dreams” greeting from your lover, crush, or spouse.
From my perspective, it means the person sees it as an intimate way to wish you goodnight.
Some of the best flirty responses to “sweet dreams” include “Only if you’re in them!,” “Thanks, I’ll dream of you,” and “May those dreams lead you to me.” But there are other better alternatives especially if you want to sound more genuine.
It is safe to assume that the person you want to reply to is a close friend or someone you share a more romantic connection with.
So in this post, I will share with you some of the flirty replies you can say in return.
List of the Best Flirty Responses to Sweet Dreams
I have ensured that these responses offer a range of options depending on the level of comfort and intimacy in the relationship — you have to tailor your response to the situation.
No matter what you eventually choose to reply to the person with, always be yourself and be honest.
1. Only if you’re in them
One of the best flirty ways to respond when someone tells you sweet dreams is to say, “Only if you’re in them.”
This is one of my favorites because it shows you like the person.
It means your dreams will only be good if they are in them, which is a sweet compliment. Another thing is that it hints that you have romantic feelings without being too direct.
So if you’re looking for a nice way to make the other person feel special and appreciated, this is the right response to use.
I like how it’s a perfect mix of sweet and flirty, so you’re not looking too pushy or unnatural with your response.
2. Dreaming of you, always
Alternatively, when someone tells you sweet dreams, you can be flirty in your reply by saying, “Dreaming of you, always.” Here’s why it’s a better option:
- This is a befitting response if you want the person to know you’re thinking about them a lot, even much so when you sleep.
- This makes them feel special and important to you.
- You can use this one if you want to add a touch of romance to your chat.
I recommend it because it’s a gentle way to show your feelings without being too forward.
3. Well, we can make them sweeter together tomorrow, yeah?
Another flirty way you can respond to sweet dreams is to say, “Well, we can make them sweeter together tomorrow, yeah?”
So you’re ending the conversation with a romantic impression that you’d love to continue tomorrow.
The best part of this response is that it’s playful and hints at plans, which adds excitement.
This is the kind of response you give to a person who you enjoy their company and look forward to seeing (or chatting with) again.
It could be that you just returned from a date with the person and they tell you sweet dreams. You can use this reply to pass the impression that you want to see them tomorrow as well.
4. Can’t wait to see you in my dreams.
If you want to show the person that they’re on your mind even when you’re sleeping, then you can tell them “can’t wait to see you in my dreams.”
It’s a nice compliment. But in a playful and fun way.
It’s one of those replies you use to end the conversation lightly and add a bit of romance without being too serious.
Trust me, responses like this will leave them with a smile and maybe even blushing a bit.
5. Will you be my dream tonight?
Sometimes, an acute and direct response is enough to sound flirty.
You can use this one to let them know you’re interested in a fun way. It’s not too serious, so it keeps things light and enjoyable.
Pro Tip:
- You can make the question a rhetorical one. Your tone matters as well.
6. Your dreams are my dreams.
You want to be a part of the person’s thoughts and care about what they dream about.
The best way to convey this is when they tell you sweet dreams and you reply with “Your dreams are my dreams.”
I see this one as a good way to express affection and create a closer connection with someone special, especially if they’re the type that says sweet dreams always.
You can make this reply your default response.
But it depends on your relationship with the person and how comfortable you both are with expressing feelings.
7. As sweet as you?
What’s a good flirt without wit? Saying “As sweet as you?” is a fun way to respond to “sweet dreams.”
You’re complimenting the person but flirting a bit and showing you appreciate their kind words.
It works best when you’re both comfortable joking around with each other.
Just keep in mind the tone of your conversation and how the other person might feel about playful flirting.
It can easily turn into an awkward response if you say it at the wrong time or in the wrong way.
Pro Tip:
- From my perspective, replies like this one would make much more sense to send as text. Not said in person.
8. Dreaming of us together
“Dreaming of us together” is another flirty reply to “sweet dreams.” It means you’re imagining being with that person in your dreams, which is cute and romantic.
There’s no point using this response if you don’t genuinely like the idea of being close to the person, not to mention when you’re asleep.
This kind of response can show that you’re interested in them in a sweet way.
9. I’ll be dreaming of you.
The key idea of telling them that they are in your dream is to show you have feelings for them or you’re thinking about them a lot.
That’s the idea. Because when someone tells you sweet dreams, and you immediately tell them you’d like your dream to be about them, then that’s romantic.
All responses that relate to having them in your dream would surely come across as flirty because it suggests you have feelings for them.
But it’s how you put the words together that makes all the difference.
10. Can’t wait to dream about you
I got to learn about using the reply, “Can’t wait to dream about you” via a movie I saw on TV.
From the plot, the character who said it was a husband-to-wife conversation. But it immediately sent the impression that he was excited to think about his wife as he slept.
So when you use this reply, you playfully show that you nicely like them.
Instead of just saying “thanks” or “you too,” this reply adds a bit of flirtiness and hints that you’re thinking about them even when you’re not awake.
11. Sweet dreams, my dreams come true
You can even tell the person “Sweet dreams, my dreams come true”
It will make them feel they’re like a dream come true for you. It’s a cute way to show you like them and find them special.
12. Dream of me?
I was reading an article from Verywell Mind magazine where a psychologist said if you dream about someone, it is much more likely a reflection of your thoughts and subconscious feelings.
So when someone says sweet dreams, you can see it as an opportunity to tell them that you can be in their dreams. And what other flirty way can you convey that than to ask them “Dream me?”
Of course, you may get nothing more than a chuckle or blush from the person (if they share similar feelings or enjoy the flirt), but it sends the right message and you’re fulfilled.
13. You’re the sweetest part of my dreams.
This one may not really sou a flirt, but it’s sure to add a touch of romance to the conversation as it comes to an end.
It’s just playful so you can use it to keep things fun.
This response can make them curious about you and want to keep talking. It’s a cute way to say you appreciate their good wishes and that you’re interested in them romantically.
14. Goodnight, dream maker
When you call someone a dream maker, it means they don’t just dream but also take necessary steps to make their dreams their reality.
So, when someone tells you sweet dreams, it’s an opportunity for you to compliment them by calling them disciple enough to make things happen for themselves.
The flirty part of this response would most likely come from the tone in which you say it.
If you’re texting, you can add in some emojis like “ 👅” “ 💦” or “ ❣️” to make it romantic.
If you’re saying it in person, then’s the tone that matters.
15. You make my dreams sweeter
The easiest way to ace any flirt is to make a compliment…a genuine one at that.
This response tells them that they bring happiness and positivity into their thoughts, which is a lovely compliment.
What makes me love this response is that it’s a simple way to show you appreciate them without being too serious.
So if you want to sound flirty but still keep things friendly, this is the one to use.
It could even show you like them romantically but gently. It’s a sweet thing to say back and keeps the chat positive.
16. See you in my dreams
A good flirt is when you do something or say things that won’t make the person feel pressured to respond in a specific manner.
That’s why I like the response “see you in my dreams” as a flirty reply to sweet dreams.
17. I was hoping for some spicy ones with you
If you truly want to go deeper with the flirt, this is a nice option. At this point, it is safe to understand that your bond with the person is strong to a reasonable degree for you to agree to do this one.
18. I’ll be waiting for you in dreamland
You can playfully suggest that they be on their mind as they sleep.
The idea of saying dreamland means you’re creating a dreamy, magical feeling. I suggest you say this reply to someone who you’re friends with but have a crush on.
This response shows you’re interested and hints that there’s more to your connection than just being friends.
19. Send the romantic meme
If the conversation is happening over chat on WhatsApp or Facebook, ok, you can send romantic memes instead of saying words.
Sending romantic memes when someone says “sweet dreams” can be a great flirty response because it shows you’re having fun and interested.
Also, memes make you laugh together and it’s not too serious or too pushy.
See an example below:
20. Use the emojis
Lastly, sending romantic emojis like hearts 💕, kisses 😘, or a blushing face 😊 in response to “sweet dreams” is another great option.
It’s useful especially after you’ve said “good night” and there’s nothing else to talk about again.
Pro Tip:
- Remember that the best way to flirt is by showing real interest and being genuine. So, enjoy your conversations, let them shine, and don’t be afraid to add a bit of flirtation.
