The best way to understand the people who appear in our dreams is to imagine them as characters in a story. Our family, friends, and even people who are total strangers to us can appear as characters in our dreams. They often play a relevant role and on other occasions they are simple spectators.
Below, we give the different explanations about what it means to dream about a person:

A dream with an unknown person, with a friend, a family member or even with your ex has a meaning.
1. We want that person to pay attention to us
When we dream about someone, it is a sign that we want to have their approval for something or we are trying to get their attention.. This may be due to the fact that that person has perhaps been ignoring us lately or has not been attentive or involved in our most recent achievements.
By dreaming about another person, we are implying that we need people to love and admire us. An unequivocal symptom that in recent times we do not feel appreciated. This is when we question what that person feels about us or doubt their trustworthiness.
2. The person in the dream is thinking about us
On the opposite side, Dreaming about a person can be a sign that they are dreaming or thinking about us. If we dream of someone we haven’t seen in a while, it is very likely that they are thinking about us at that moment and will soon appear in our lives again.
When we dream about a friend, a co-worker or an ex-partner, it is also very likely that they are thinking or dreaming about us. If we have contact with them, we could tell them our dream and check if they have also dreamed about us on some occasion.
3. Someone will take advantage of us
Having a dream about another person can also be a sign that they will take advantage of us or cause us some emotional harm. A dream that can become a warning to suspect that person. To do this, we must take into account the relationship we have with it.
Sometimes we have these types of dreams with people in our work environment and in situations in which we are not comfortable at work.
4. Would life be different if we were with them?
If we dream about someone, we are likely to wonder if we have made the right decisions in our relationships.. The appearance of certain people in our dreams can mean that we are curious to know how they are doing and what our life with them could be like. It has nothing to do with the fact that we feel bad about our partner. Sometimes it is just curious to reflect on what would have happened to us if we had made other decisions in life. This dream can not only occur with ex-partners, but also with colleagues from a former job.
A dream that has a further meaning and that makes us reflect on everything that happened and what we decided at the time.
5. We feel excluded or alone
Dreaming about another person can also mean that we feel sad and alone. A way to miss someone a lot, but this other person does not have the same feelings towards us. We want to forget this person, but the memory of him constantly comes to our mind.
Many people find it difficult to start a new relationship because they only think about the previous person. Instead of creating new situations, they enjoy thinking about past memories. This most likely makes us dream about that person, since we feel alone and, in a way, excluded.
6. Questions towards the characters in the dream
There are some questions that can help us understand a little better why we dreamed about a certain person:
- Does this person’s name have any special meaning for us?
- How old is the person in our dream?
- What relationship do we have with this person in the dream?
- What are your physical characteristics in the dream?
- What is your personality like?
- What profession or what does this person do in life?
- What is the most special or particular characteristic of this person?
- How did this person make us feel when we saw them in our dream?
The answers to these questions will help us learn a little more about why this person appears in our dream.
