...his name or how he is. All I know is that he is tall and has tattoos and goes to school with me? What does it mean?

It doesnt mean a thing. Unless you are in therapy with a psychologist or psychiatrist trained to translate them you just look at them as entertainment.
Dreams rarely, if ever, mean exactly what you see. They are symbolic and abstract. You might see someone slip and fall on a banana peel. What you might dream about is a small yellow car with clowns falling out when the doors open.
During our waking hours, our five senses are constantly conveying information and images to the brain, but during sleep this is not the case. The brain generates images within itself without any external sensory input. Therefore, what we see in dreams and the actions we experience in them are at times like hallucinations.
Since it seems that dreams originate principally within the brain, it is not reasonable to think that they have special messages for us. We should view them as a normal function of the brain that helps maintain it in a healthful condition.
Sometimes when we are trying to solve a problem, the solution comes to us during sleep. This may reflect that not all sleep consists of dreaming. A portion of it is thinking. Be careful of the things you feed your mind with. If the dreams are not making you feel stressed then you need to direct your mind on positive things.
