This dream freaked me out for a couple of hours after I woke up because it felt so incredibly real.
It starts out with me at my friends house. It was in this crazy bungalow type house and there was a massive pool behind it and went all the way underneath it and that’s where the party was taking place. So I was just walking around the pool talking to people, I walk over to the table with food and put some on a plate, look up, and there is Hunter wearing his military formals and he walks over to me, gives me a hug, and says “Hey honey, I’ve missed you.” (Hunter is a more than just a friend but it’s incredibly complicated b/c he is gone all the time for military training). Everything goes sort of fuzzy and next we are actually in the house and I am talking to him. I turn around to grab a cup and when I look back he’s gone, and I walk around the house trying to find him but I can’t and it makes me really nervous because there is no trace of him anywhere. But I just blow it off and go back in the pool but right when I get a pool it was like a repeat, I see him come to the party, I walked up to him, he hugs me say “Hey honey, I’ve missed you” but I know consciously this has already happened but in my mind I’m thinking that I don’t care if it’s already happened as long as he’s safe. So he goes and changes into some swim trunks and we go into the pool. He tells me to grab onto him that he wants to twirl me around in the water (my most favorite thing to do in the pool, it’s so fun). So I grab onto his waist and one of his hands and he starts twirling me around the pool and I get really happy and that goes on for a while. Then he stops and he takes off a ring from his finger and asks me to hold on to it for him b/c he was going to go down a slide or something and didn’t want to loose it. I said sure and took the ring and then just started staring at it and all of the sudden I realized it was a wedding ring and then when I looked at my hand I had a gold ring too and then freaked out because once again Hunter disappeared but this time it made me really nervous, sick to my stomach nervous b/c I felt like he was dead. And so I start trying to find him around the slides and then his dead bloody body floats to the surface right in front of me and I start crying, trying to hold on to his body and became hysterical and I pass out from exhaustion. When I wake up again I’m lying on a couch and there he is sitting right next to me alive and normal giving me a pack of ice b/c I was spiking a fever. I sit up and hug him and start babbling about how he was dead and he said that I was just delusional and it was the fever and I kept saying that I didn’t have a fever when I was in the pool and I told him about the ring. I got up to get a drink of water and calm down and he walked over to me and I said give me your hand and he did and I put the ring on his finger. When I did, his entire body deflated as if he had no bones and I started going crazy, walking around the house babbling and crying that he was gone. I fell asleep from exhaustion. Aagain I wake up (in my dream I woke up, not for real) and there he is sleeping right next to me and I hug him and kiss him, get up, put on some slippers, got a banana from the kitchen and walked back into the room and to our porch and just ate breakfast like nothing ever happened.

I think the way the situation in the dream keeps changing from very bad to very good has to do with Hunter being gone all the time in real life and the different ways you must feel when you are together vs. when you are apart.
