Can you see strangers in dreams

Wake up from a dream about a fifth-grade classmate According to dream analyst Lauri Loewenberg , the sometimes random people that show up in your dreams often represent situations in your real life that are weighing on your mind. Whether it's someone you really know, or a seemingly made-up dream character, Loewenberg tells mbg there's a lot of insight to gain from dreams about people—but specifics matter.

Here, we break down dream interpretations for 10 common dreams about other people and what they could be telling you about your waking life. If you recently went through a breakup and you're dreaming about your ex, Loewenberg says the dream is likely helping you move through the split. Additionally, if the ex is the one who ended things, "Those dreams try to help us understand why," she says. You might be digging through their stuff, for example, which would represent you trying to figure out what went wrong.

An ex from long ago—your first love, for instance—could represent a desire to add more spark to your life if you're single or in a lackluster relationship, Loewenberg notes. When someone from childhood shows up in your dream, Loewenberg recommends asking yourself what stands out the most about that person. Whether it's a quality they have or a memory of them, that trait may mirror something you see in yourself. It could be positive or negative—something you want to cultivate or something you're ashamed of, respectively.

If you're dreaming of a current friend, most obviously, it could be related to a current situation with that friend. But additionally, Loewenberg notes, "Friends can also represent our ability to be a friend to ourselves. If you're getting along with an enemy in your dream, you may want to find peace or common ground with them, Loewenberg says. Physical violence, on the other hand, "would be a release or expression of your anger," she says.

And if your enemy is in control in the dream say, they're driving a car you're both in , that could mean you're giving them too much control over your life. Lastly, if they're sick or dying, Loewenberg notes that's a sign your issues with this person are on the way out. Moving on to the workplace, Loewenberg says the most co-worker dreams she hears about involve an office romance or intimacy. Aside from an obvious crush you shouldn't need a dream to explain that one, she says , being intimate with a co-worker could also mean you want to collaborate on something at work.

If it's someone you don't actively work with, she adds, there's likely something about them that you admire, even if you don't have romantic feelings for them. And if you're arguing with your boss about something at work that's upset you? If you are a single woman, such a dream implies you may come to someone's wedding yet find it hard to meet your Mr. Dreaming about an opposite-sex stranger about the same age suggests you may start a new relationship recently.

If you felt estranged from the stranger in your dream, it shows that deep in your heart you are longing for a good interpersonal relationship and pay great attention to managing your connections in daily life.

If the stranger in the dream fraternized with you as if you had known each other before, it indicates you have a strong sense of self-protection, and would never trust the stranger rashly than keep a certain distance unconsciously. If a stranger kept asking you questions or continuously questioned on your private affairs, it shows you are very reluctant to expose yourself in public life, which will make you very uncomfortable.

If you dream that a stranger broke into your home , it means your property might be stolen. Dreaming about a stranger's death is a sign of favorable turn or a better business. How about dreaming someone who i dont know,but in my dreams were like a lovers?

I dreamt of being approached a lady while i was travelling. The lady happened to be from a shop that i visited in my dream.

In the shop, i saw her elder brother by her side. All i could remember while in the shop was we exchanged greetings and bye bye. She asked me for my number too. When i wondered why this is so, i woke up. She is shorter than average, tanned skin, skinny, big eyes and a lively spirit. After a few years I guess I dreamt of his little brother as a stranger and I told him that I knew his brother who was used to be my boyfriend.

I am dreaming of a stranger that i thought him regarding my work and he listen to me well that as if he sincerely praises and believe what i told him. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Currently you have JavaScript disabled.

He had taken to me and taken me in his arms and was talking about spending life with me — just the two of us. I was very drawn to that idea. We were together in a far away park of some kind.
