I'll have tableau dreams, where for hours I consider what is currently interesting me in life. For example, I will dream of programming.

Yeah it's like it's real life situations too. It's just too random to explain but It be people from in the past or who I know now that sometimes be in my dreams once every blue moon.

My dreams have no logical plot. When ever something like that would happen, my dream changes completely. It's kinda like watching Courage the Cowardly Dog: you could start halfway through an episode and still no what's going on.
As for people, There is usually about six; one I know, one who I don't but am great friends with, one who want's to ruin my life, and three to show that I have a life to be ruined. There is only one that I actually know.
The most interesting characteristic is what it feels like. When I'm dreaming it feels like I belong there. For the first five minutes of every day of my life I feel sort of homesick. I also feel a little sad that I may never see some of those people again.

I had a dream a few minutes ago that I was over my aunt's house and I was helping my dad fix things in a shed and my cousin was there also.

In my dreams there are often people, whom I either know in person or by reputation. But although I recognise them in my dreams (whether it's my husband or Michael Angelo) they are rarely clearly defined. I hardly ever see a face in my dreams.

The only exception to this is when I dream about my son. Him I see clearly and vividly. Everyone else is a shape.

For example, I dreamt of my husband walking along a beach, with a white horse walking beside him. The water was very clearly defined in the dream, the way it washed over my husband's feet, the way his feet sank in the sand. The white horse was very clear, the way she let her head droop over my husband's shoulder. I could even see her eyelashes. But I couldn't see my husband's face.

Of course, that could be because he's dead. But it's so rare for me to see a human face in my dreams that when I do it's a major surprise.


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.
I can't think of why you'd get a slap on the wrist for saying it was a wonderful and beautiful dream. :) I know it comforted me.

It's his birthday today by the way. Or would have been. I'm glad that I can think of him, and dream about him, and those thoughts and dreams are good places to be.

Hmm, there's no poll option for "Yes and there's people I do and don't know"

Anyways, most of my dreams are lucid so it's pretty sharp in terms of characteristics, but normally only 1-3 people at most at a time.

Yes. But they are either characters from movies or people I know. Almost always people in my dreams are the villains.

I think the OP's initial post confused me. I thought it might be breaking the rules that were set down about how and what we were supposed to post. I thought maybe we weren't supposed to comment on other people's dreams and just state the facts about whether our own dream content contained other people or not. I worry about breaking rules too much at times and so I fret and become indecisive.

It's wonderful that you are still connected to each other and I loved the horse and the sea imagery. I still send birthday cards to my grandson who died almost three years ago when he was twenty-one. This year he will be twenty-four. My daughter is always so thrilled when she has a dream about him.
