OK, I was thinking about becoming a nun for awhile but lately i've been feeling a pull towards Religious life. And a few days ago, i had a dream where Jesus asked me to marry Him and then i saw a nun (in full habit, which is really rare from what i've seen) at Mass and gave her Holy Communion, as I was serving as an E/M. We never have nuns in my church, except when missionaries come to visit, and they never are in full habits. could this be a calling to Religious Life?

Sounds like it to me! I'd suggest finding a retreat or something with a good, solid, orthodox Order so you can see what the life is like. After that, the call will either grow stronger, or you'll be assured that it is probably not your calling.
Prayers!
God bless,

it could be, but dreams are not always as they appear.
Pray about it.

it could be but i would really take the dream too seriously because a Carmleite Sister once told me that dreams are a figment of what was on your mind that day or something that came to the mind or smoething that your thinkgina bout and so on. i would have dreams about being a religious, even about the Sisters at my own School and so forth!!!! i even had one about JPII the night before He died!!!!! But the one of JPII was for me strange dream, no movement, no voices, notalking just a stil pick of him in his youth!!!!!

One of the universal things that I've always heard about dreams, is that if it does not bring peace in your heart then it is not from God.

I think that it is deeply embedded in your heart that it was from God. If such a thought brings you a certain joy or satisfaction, i would not doubt it.
However, do not be 100% confident of your dream. It may or may not be a sign.
But it could be God just telling you to be open.
So i would encourage you, to find a sister, and speak to her about it.
