PEOPLE REPRESENT YOU
Most people in a dream act like a mirror. They tell you something about yourself. A character doing something constructive may be pointing out your own positive traits to encourage you to develop more of them, or to become mroe aware of that character trait in yourself. If the dream person mirrors a negative trait, it can be an invitation to balance it or get rid of it.
Assessing the Dream Person
When you see a person in a dream, decide how their actions, attitudes, or feelings resonate with yours. For example, suppose you have a dream about a sad lady on a bus. Normally you feel upbeat but lately have been feeling blue. The dream may mirror your momentary sadness so that you can deal with it. You have to notice and name your feelings before they can be changed. That is what a dream comes to do - pinpoint and name the feeling.
Blind Spots
What if a dream points out a negative trait like being vain, bad tempered or nasty? This may not welcome news if ti is your dream, but once you realize how important it is to get in touch with blind spots, it becomes good news. Noting blind spots is beneficial for many reasons. Blind spots often relate to strong emotions and troubling past experiences. They can be related to a trait in you that shows potential but needs a constructive direction.
If not recognized, blind spots can act as "run-away energies". They can lead to impulsive behavior, poor decisions and unexpected reactions that you later regret. If others get to see your blind spots which happens on occasion, it can be embarrassing and affect reputation, self esteem and career. All that may happen because of a blind spot. Dreams help by putting a spotlight on them in a dream, which helps you avoid becoming your own worst enemy.
A Stitch in Time Saves Nine
Blind spots are normal. Like baby teeth, you outgrow them if you striving to become the best you can be. Dreams are a personal monitoring system to flag these small problem areas in time to fix them. Accept the news of a blind spot as a gift and pluck out the weed before anyone notices. Doing so keeps you on a successful and happy life track.
Mirror of Self - The First Option
Explore traits of people in your dreams as a mirror of yourself. If your psyche mirrors a trait and you get the message, it releases you from what is holding you back and empowers you to grow into your best potentials.

People in Dreams Show Relationship Dynamics
People in dreams can play out the dynamics going on between people in your life. They can reveal hidden attitudes and motives, yours or others. Relationships can be complex. A person's motives or actions can be hard to decipher. Being directly involved or having a stake in the relationship can cloud perceptions. Dreams can point out what is really going on. They can help move a relationship forward by revealing where someone is coming from, including you!
A Dream can Create an Instant Change in a Relationship
Sometimes, instead of presenting a message, the dream creates an intense experience that immediately changes the dynamics of a relationship. For example, a woman who resented working with her brilliant but very difficult boss dreamed of him as a little boy. In the dream, he was frantic and wild, needing help. She helps and sooths him, as she did her own son years before. The boy transforms from a wild man to a calm and peaceful friend, which makes her feel good. As she woke up, she no longer felt animosity toward her boss. Now she could see past the grumpy old man to the troubled boy who needed her assistance. Drawing on the mother in herself, she became glad to help him. The changed attitude opened up a new sense of peace and satisfaction in a challenging work environment.
Actual Facts about Other People in Dreams
Dreams can provide actual information about others, especially if that person is important to you. As we go to sleep, we think: “What about X?”, so dreams about then are natural. Dream messages respond to what is on your mind. If you are concerned about a spouse, child, friend or loved one, you can receive information about them in a dream. It may reveal hints about their career progress or a child's talents. Look for dreams that may give you insight about loved ones and your relationship with them.
Eliminate Alternatives
I once saw a childhood friend in a dream with whom I had not spoken in several years. In the dream she was sad and desperate. The dream did not match anything in my life so I wondered if it could be some true facts about the friend. I got in touch with her and discovered she really was going through a bad time. As an old friend, she could talk to me and that helped her regain her footing.
So if you keep dreaming of your child sitting in front of a piano or holding a tuba, it might be a hint! Encourage them to take music lessons or join the school band.
