Everybody have dreams. We are not referring about dreams that talk about what we want to be when we grow up, but rather those dreams that we have every time we sleep. Some of us have already encountered good and pleasant dreams; however, there are also times when we experience terrifying ones, which are otherwise known as nightmares. But why do these dreams happen? A lot of us find it hard to answer this question. Sometimes when we wake up from a dream, we tend to forget what it was, while there are also times when every detail of the dream remains perfectly in our minds even when we are awake. In addition to these, it is also very possible for us to dream about someone. Nevertheless, the reasons behind these are still unexplained. So let us now try to discuss, what does it mean when you dream about someone?
 First of all, it is important for us to know why our dreams occur. Dreams are considered as responses to our thoughts. It is recognized as mental or psychological signals that are coming from the unconscious level of our brain. However, if they are looked at a spiritual aspect, dreams are considered as messages, warnings or signs coming from divine beings or even from significant people who already passed away. No matter how we look at dreams, we can still say that interpreting them is mostly based on guesswork. Nevertheless, some scientific theories are present in order to help us analyze and interpret the meaning of these things. But what does dreaming of or about someone mean?
Whenever we dream of someone, it could mean several things. One, if we know someone and we have been dreaming of him or her, then the most probable reason for this is that we have been thinking of that person way too much. It is also possible that we have been thinking of the person right before we went to sleep. Sometimes, when our minds are working very hard even before going to bed, we can sometimes carry our thoughts into our sleep. This now becomes part of our unconsciousness, which then turns to one of our dreams. However, dreaming of someone is more of an effect of the person’s personality, attitude or our relationship to him or her rather than the person itself. In addition to this, if we are under a lot of stress, we might also experience having dreams of the person who have caused us the stress like our boss, our teachers or even our enemies.
On the other hand, when we dream of a person that we like, this basically implies that we have been thinking of this person a lot. When we go to work, eat in a restaurant or watch a movie, we sometimes cannot resist thinking of the person we like. This goes the same whenever we sleep at night; however, it is already in the form of our dreams.
These are basically the answers to the question; what does it mean when you dream of someone? Now we can clearly see why dreams happen as well as the different factors that could trigger these dreams to occur.
