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.
Flattered, obviously.
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.
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.

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.
