Psychology Dream Interpretation

Dream Interpretation: Various types of people appearing in your dream denote various aspects of your personality and inner world.

Psychoanalysis: To understand the different messages conveyed by the various types of people in a dream, we must analyze them in depth. Not all the meanings of the characters have to be completely analyzed, sometimes it is enough if you can understand the meaning of the behavioral relationship that you have with the dream characters. You often dream about the confrontation of two people or feel that there is a big difference in your attitude and behavioral approach to two people. This situation generally reflects the contradictory and antagonistic part of your personality. The object of the dream can be someone you have left an indelible impression on, sometimes even touching you. Dreaming about your loved ones usually reflects your jealousy. Dreaming of many people gathered together and dreaming of animals gathered together denote similar meanings, where and each object represents an aspect of your own personality. If you can deeply understand one of these characters, you can clearly understand the dimension of your personality that corresponds to it.

An authority figure in a dream: In people's minds, the earliest authority figures they see are their parents. The way a person interacts with authority figures in adulthood is often shaped by his childhood experiences, from good helpers to lucrative feedlot owners. An authority figure in a dream is able to tell you what is right or should be done, and whether or not you personally agree with it at first. Such people actually represent the level of your consciousness that is responsible for self-control and judgment, the so-called 'superego' in psychology. For you, as a member of society, the policeman in your dream symbolizes external constraints and protection.
