A crush unlike the others...does it mean something?

I met this guy in my class at college and I have started to develop feelings for him. But this crush feels unlike any crush I have had before. I feel like I am liking him on a different level. It feels so sweet and so pure. I feel like I am liking him for just who is alone, it is as if his soul is speaking to me. Standing next him, I am so content. Just being in his presence brings such joy. Yes, I do get nervous, but I feel so calm and overjoyed at the same time. Even dreaming about him is different. The dreams are caring and sensual. He always holds me and tells me how much he cares and that he loves me. The dreams are not lust driven. And I can actually have genuine conversation with him, it's not superficial. He is super nice to me. He gives me the most direct eye contact and I can only wonder if he is thinking the same things when he looks at me. I have no idea if he actually likes me back.
