Teasing

Teasing — playful, affectionate provocation — often touches being loved and sought after for cheerful manners, with the love of merry people if you're teased. The dream may ask where lightness and good humour are drawing people toward you, and whether the warm banter passing between you signals the genuine fondness it seems to.

Miller 1901
