A familiar person in a dream may represent themselves, a relationship, a memory, a season of life, a characteristic or an association. Do not assume that every dream about a person is literally about that person or that it reveals their hidden motives.

• What role did the person play in the dream?
• What is your real relationship with them?
• What qualities or memories do you strongly associate with them?
• Was the dream centered on the person, or on what was happening around them?
• Does a literal interpretation fit the full context?

Use caution before making accusations or relationship decisions based on dream imagery alone. Compare with Dream Symbols: People & Relationships.
