- If a person in your dream is someone you know only as a casual acquaintance and not someone that is close to you, they are most likely planted in your dream on purpose. The first key is to look up the meaning of their name.
- If that doesnt help you interpret your dream, then next consider their behaviour. If you know them only at a distance, there should be something about that person that stands out to more than other things. They may have had an experience that you remember. Whatever you discover may be a parable and represent something.
- If the person is someone really close to you, their name may mean something to the interpretation in a personal way. But also consider what that person adds to your personal life that is an important asset.
- The fact that the person is close to you is important and probably adds a depth as to the personal application to your dream. In other words, it may be a corporate Word you received, but it also has intimate meaning to you as well.
