Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
1) The dream you had was a wake up call from Allah Ta’ala. The dream suggests that Allah Ta’ala wants you to learn about your religion and he wants you to become a practising Muslim so that you can be saved from Hell fire and can go to Paradise. The dream you had was a great blessing from Allah Ta’ala. You should take the message of the dream seriously and focus on preparing yourself for your eternal and real life, the life after death, before it is too late.
We are pleased to see that you are eager to become a better Muslim. May Allah Ta’ala accept your pious aspiration.
Every human being commits mistakes. Only the Prophets were protected from committing sins. Allah Ta’ala knows about this weakness of ours. And that is why Allah Ta’ala has given us tauba (repentance), so that after we realise our mistake we can turn to Him for repentance and forgiveness. A person who sincerely repents to Allah, Allah Ta’ala forgives him. Allah Ta’ala says in the Holy Quran: (Translation) And He it is Who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons the evil deeds and He knows what you do (Quran 42:25). Abu Ubaidah ibn Abdullah narrates from his father that Rasulullah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “One who repents from sin is like one who has no sin.” (Ibn Maajah, hadith 4240). The holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) has also been reported to have said, “Every son of Adam commits mistakes. And the best among those who commit mistakes are those who repent.”

Keep the above in your mind and do not let Satan frustrate you and make you feel helpless and sad, as that is what Satan aims to do to everyone. Totally ignore the whisperings of Satan. Spend as much time with practising Muslim women who know about Islam as possible. Read good books on Islam. Listen to good Islamic lectures. If possible, go out in jama’ah tabligh – as it will be beneficial inshallah.
2) Your friend should do sincere tauba and never interact with that man again. Also, if your friend was fasting in Ramadan when she committed the grave sin of zina, she must also observe the kaffara for breaking the fast of Ramadan, which is to fast for 2 consecutive months.
