All the characters in your dreams area aspects of yourself. It means you are thinking about some part of your personality or something you want to do. You’re thinking about it a lot. If you were a teenager, it might be something like thinking about the part of you that wants to be good or bad, or adventuresome or whatever. Can’t tell you because you have no details.

probably the person is dead. have you checked on them?

im just kidding. dreams mean nothing except that you’ve been thinking about (even subconsciously or the tiniest bit) what you’ve dreamt of. that. is. it.

Depending on the type of dream it is that is what the meaning of the dream would be
For example if its a tearful dream it mean happy moments
Maybe your friend is thinking about you as much
Or even its someone that you have in your inner thoughts and they seem to be important maybe get in contact with them..

I have read that when you dream about the same person repeatedly, if they are from your past, it means that someone in your current life is making you feel similar feelings that you felt when you were with the person from your past.

In my opinion it’s important to not rely on one theory or another totally for analyzing your dreams. I kept dream journals for years. Wundayatta talks about one theory of analyzing. But sometimes dreams are NOT about an aspect of yourself. For example I used to have a recurrent dream about my mother going completely off her rocker and killing my brothers and attempting to kill my father and me. I got myself and my father out and as I am escaping with him I turn to see her kill herself. It was a dream I have over and over for a couple of years. It eventually led me to prop a chair in front of my locked door at night and have an extra set of car keys and money stashed away in my room. I realized many years later that my mother was indeed suicidal and in retrospect probably homicidal/suicidal. To this day I think my dreams were trying to tell me that I was in potential danger because of her mental health issues even though I was too young and too untrained in that area to have fully understood it then.
When I analyze someone else’s dreams I talk about that actual people in the dream, the theme the dream seems to be about literally and figuratively. I ask about things going on currently in someone’s life…and also about unspoken dreams and desires, I ask about alot of things….and then as we talk about aspects of the dream and possibilities both figuratively and literal, people usually start to pick out the things that resonate for them. It is widely thought (and I agree) that the brain does a sort and store of material during the sleep time and so it continues to problems solve current material using the phenomenological mapping of material from the past…thus the pictures that sometimes don’t readily seem to make sense.
And sometimes there are strange occurances that seem to arise out of dreams. I have dreamt about people several times in a row and then run into them in my walking life and they mention that I have been on their mind. I consider it part of the 100th monkey theory that we still don’t fully understand yet.

It is a sexual dream and it is my ex that I still see and am sexual with.

Can’t analyze without details and more questions about the dynamic and relationship between the two of you.

i have the same type of dreams some times, i believe your dreams ( some dreams, and not the literal dream its self) are stories you have subconsciously picked up in your day to day life, and then broadcasting it to you. like the guy and his lovely mother. however some dreams are merely just casual occurrences. And then some are just plain weird, like dinosaurs eating pudding.

Just tell them what you do to their facebook pictures and the dreams will stop.
