Have you asked yourself why your dreams are repeated and specifically why do we sometimes see certain people in our dreams now one of the very misunderstood facts about dream interpretation is that dreams usually happen in symbols in other words what you see while you are asleep is usually a symbolic interpretation of something that already took place in real life

1. The Fisrt Reason

for example let's suppose that you have a loyal friend and that disloyal friend betrayed you most probably you are not going to see a loyal friend betraying you in a dream this can happen but usually the dream will come in a symbolic form you might see yourself playing with a dog a friendly dog and then all of a sudden the setting will change and the dog might bite you

Psychology Facts

in such a case your mind used the loyal dog to represent the close friend or the loyal friend and the bite was the act of betrayal.

And just like we dream using symbols people who come in our dreams can also be symbols referring to other things

for example let’s suppose that you have a tall friend and you consciously recognize this friend as your tall friend if this friend was going through some kind of hardship and you knew about it of course you might end up seeing in the dream a very tall man unable to walk or who is crawling.

Psychology Facts

This is just an example I’m not saying that this equals that but I’m just giving you an example you might see a very tall man in your dream and this tool man is suffering in the dream

In a way or another now your mind again used symbols to describe what you saw in your real life but in such a case it replaced the person by another person and this is something that happens very often in dreams so as soon as you see somebody in your dream make sure to ask yourself a question am I really dreaming about this person or is it a symbol referring to another person a totally different person

2. The Second Reason:

the second case where you might see a person in your dream is that you are truly or very concerned about the person and so you might end up seeing this person in your dream and this is a very common example that happens to so many of us when you

Psychology Facts

for example dream about talking to your crush that you never talk to in your real life and all of a sudden you wake up and you find yourself hugging the pillow now

in such a case your mind used something that you really wanted in your dream in order to satisfy some of your unmet needs while you are sleeping and this is something that happy very often with dreams like for example many of the dreams that we see while you are asleep are usually representations of things that we really wanted in real life. Something that we truly desired and so we ended up seeing it in our dream even though we never had this thing in real life

3. The Third Reason

The third reason you might see somebody in your dream is that this person made you emotionally charged in a way or another if this person insulted you humiliated you made you feel bad and it doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad emotion but I’m I’m using the most common examples and so this person really made you feel bad about yourself and you got really frustrated and you did not manage to act in real life this frustration and this event might show up in your dream as this person in something you directly making you feel bad directly in the dream.

Psychology Facts

or you might see somebody else representing that person in your dream that doesn’t necessarily look like that person but who will also make you feel bad about yourself in the dream.

in other words the dream can come in a direct form or it can come in a symbolic form and the people you see in your dreams can be the real people the dream is referring to or they can be totally different people with just some kind of symbolic connection and this is how the brain works the human brain works.
