Do you have people in your dreams?

Post Reply New Topic

There are usually people in my dreams, and they're always people I know in real life. It's usually people that I've been thinking about during the day. For example, when I was obsessed with one of my former friends, I had many, many dreams about reconciling with her. Now that I know that my sister is coming to visit from England, I have frequent dreams about her and her kids. My brother also appears in some of my dreams.

My dreams are either very vivid or I have no recall.

I have dream involving people a lot for some reason. Maybe it is because people are more understanding in my dreams.

I would say that I am alone roughly 75% of the time. People in my dreams generally make cameo appearances, then depart. They are most often deceased family members. There are people in the background sometimes, but I don't figure that they count, as there is no interaction whatsoever and they are more or less shaddows. I tend to dream about Nature, reading, extreme weather (which probably counts as a subset of Nature), historical events, etc.

I usually have people in my dreams, only sometimes people that I know.

Exactly this. People in my dreams are identified by a "sense" of who they are. They are, you might say, "blurry." I do not see/notice their faces or any other physical details. The inanimate objects and backgrounds are usually quite sharp and detailed, though.

This also mirrors the way I see people in real life. I identify people in my mind by a "feeling" of who they are.. it is entirely possible for me to spend the whole day with someone and if you pull me into the other room and pop-quiz me on what they were wearing, I would not be able to tell you.

For that reason I also sometimes get memories of people mixed up if two friends have a similar feeling identity in my mind.

Yes, all the time but mainly the people that I know.... and usually it would be positive unless I had an argument with one of them, I end up having nightmares about it and can't stop thinking about it for days and days and possibly months and months.

I usually don't remember my dreams, but when I do, there are usually people I know in them.

Same here

Often, but when I wake up I sometimes struggle to remember who the people were.

I've had a friend and the Psychology teacher I upset pop into my dreams. I also remember my dreams VERY vividly!! I dreamed I used a shotgun and killed the friend and dreamed the other day she was in a yellow dress and we were racing!! The teacher dreams 1) I was in cuffs crying she had her finger towards me (like disciplining a child) Another dream with the teacher was hilarious!! ! I was in a lecture hall thing (auditorium type College as seen in movies etc.) anyway the teacher was giving a speech and I was the only one there. My mom came through a door on the side and said come on lets go and yanked me I said no I want to hear this. Then mom yanked me out of the room and the teacher was left standing at the podium LOL! So I've had some odd dreams!! !! I'm considering making a dream journal. IMO it's sad I dreamed I shot my friend that's sad!! !! !! A friend mention dreams aren't real but I have the view that they are a key to your subconscious so obviously College/Psychology teacher/friend NOW in College MUST be in my mind!! !! !! !!

I would say people occur about 30% of the time in my dreams. Otherwise, my dreams mostly involve animals, flying, driving at high speed and tornadoes....but not all at the same time.

At the risk of getting a slap on the wrist I am going to say; what a wonderful and beautiful dream you had of your husband. That's one of the most beautiful dreams featuring the presence of a lost loved-one that I have ever heard.

And now, to set things right and obey the rules of this thread - Almost all of my dreams contain other people, people I share my life with mostly, past and present. Also, disturbing others that I don't recognize but who pose a serious threat to me or my children. Also, groups of others who are tracking me and/or my children down to murder us and who are represented as evil and/or dangerous groups such as: Nazi's, Viet Cong, Motorcylce gangs, Mafia, drug-crazed teenagers - no Zombies....yet.

Its rare that I dream of people. When I do, they are most likely to be generic people I do not know, and they are even more likely to be represented by objects. If I attempt to talk to them(if I even think of it), they are usually mute or I cannot hear or render what they are saying. I cant remember last dreaming of my family.

In my case, nothing in my dreams is "clearly defined", whether it be humans or other things. I don't think there is a difference between one and the other, I simply don't dream these details. In fact, that is one way I can tell I have a dream. I remember a few dreams where I was desperate to check an email, but I couldn't read the letters. So I realized it was a dream. And then I decided that if only I can force my eyes to read these letters on the screen, it will stop being a dream and I will know what the email said in a real life. But no matter how hard I try I can't.

However, on a different note, when I am awake and try to imagine something, I can't imagine details either. I only know a "sense" of things. There is a "sense" of this person or that, and there is a "sense" of different geographical locations. Like even if I try to visualize my room when I am not there, I can't safely say what color is the floor. But I have a "sense" of the room so I will recognize it when I am there. The same with people.

WOW thats an intersting dream. So when your mom got you out of the room, did the teacher ccontinued to lecture, at the chairs? Or did she stop?
