Hey Deb!
Just so I have this straight: You are dreaming you are reading what you assume is a local newspaper and there is a topic you are reading with a picture of a little girl, blond locks and the article is about a man you used to converse with on line and how he started his own business (you apparently see the name of his truck in your dream or the name of his business) and apparently he is moving in with a woman? Outside of your dreams during waking hours when you start to clean or do some work, this dream, the article and the name of the company pops into your head? I hope I got that right.
If I got the above correct, I would say that the name of the company has some significance to you. I know it's hard and easier said than done, but try and recall it because it is haunting you for a reason I would imagine. There are many alternative meanings depending on how you feel about the array of answers I leave you with. What the little girl signifies is hard to decipher since there was no relation to the article or anything in your dream other than she was a fixture of it. Were there any emotions/feelings/thoughts attached to her when you saw her picture in the newspaper? If not, her purpose may have served more as decoration in the dream than anything else. As for your friend I would say one of few things... he's on your mind or popped in there probably because you occasionally wonder what happened to him and how he has been? Maybe you even miss the conversations you used to have with him. It's also quite possible, and I know with internet experiences you develop more of a sixth sense with your online buddies because you really don't have much of the other senses to rely on. It's possible he was telling you through that mind-connection, which is what a friend of mine and I call it, that he has found someone and plans to move in with her. It's also quite possible in your dream you have imagined how life is going for him now from what you knew of him and decided he has moved forward and your imagination made up for it with a woman in his life and is life is progressing.
I hope this was helpful to you
