Everyone has recurrent dreams from time to time. But what about recurrent dreams about a certain someone? Do they hold any special significance?
It’s not uncommon to dream about the same person – especially if it’s someone you know – and often the dream will be a way for you to process something from your waking life.
However, it could also be a sign of something more.
A recurrent dream about the same person could mean that you share a spiritual connection with them. It can also reveal things about the relationship that you may not be aware of – such as hidden feelings or unresolved issues between you.
If you keep on dreaming about the same person, it’s almost always a sign that there is something that needs to be addressed or healed between the two of you.
Paying attention to the content of your dreams can help to reveal what it is that needs to be worked on in order for the relationship to grow.

Dreaming about someone you know
A recurrent dream about someone you know can have several different meanings. Try to think about what feelings or emotions they evoke in you.
Are they a source of comfort or fear? Are they someone you admire or someone you’re jealous of?
Do you feel a sense of connection with them, or do you feel disconnected? The answers to these questions can help you interpret the spiritual meaning of your dream.
- If you dream about someone who makes you feel complete and at peace, it could be a sign of a deep spiritual bond between the two of you.
- If you dream about someone who makes you feel loved and accepted, it could be a sign that you need to start believing in yourself and your abilities
- If you dream about someone who makes you feel jealous or insecure, it means that you need to work on your self-esteem and confidence.
- If the person you’re dreaming about is someone you are or were in a relationship with, the symbolism could be even deeper. It could be a sign that you need to work on your communication skills or that you’re not taking enough time to nurture the relationship.
- If your dream leaves you feeling disconnected and confused, it could mean that you have unfinished business with this person, and a relationship with them is incomplete.
You might need to speak to them about something or resolve a conflict.
For example, you may find that you’ve been dreaming of an old flame who you’re no longer in touch with, and this could be a sign that you still have feelings for them. This dream could be your subconscious telling you that you want to get back together with this person in real life.
It could also be a sign that you need to pay more attention to your needs and make sure that they’re being met.
- Finally, dreaming about someone you know could be a message from the universe that you need to pay attention to something in your life.
For example, if you keep dreaming about a friend you have lost touch with, it could be a sign that you’re missing them and need to reach out. Or, it could be a sign that you need to take a closer look at your current relationships and make sure you’re being honest with yourself and others.
Similarly, if you keep dreaming about a family member, it could be a sign that you need to reconnect with them and spend more time together.
Dream interpretation can be a tricky business, and while I hope you find my article helpful, some dreams are more complex than others and require more attention. If that’s the case, you should think about getting in touch with someone who specializes in dreams to help you make sense of yours.
Dreaming about someone you don’t know
A recurrent dream about someone you don’t know can be a little more baffling:
- It will often be linked to something in your life.
For example, if you’ve moved house or changed schools, then dreaming of a random stranger might mean that you feel unsettled. It’s your subconscious reminding you that something needs to change in your life so that you feel more settled again.
- It could be a sign that you need to pay attention to your intuition and be more open to new experiences.
- It could also be a sign that you need to open up to new people and make new connections.
- It could also be a sign that you need to be more mindful of your actions and how they affect others. It could be a reminder to be kinder to others and to be more compassionate.
For example, if you dream about someone who is in need of help, it could be a sign that you should reach out and lend a hand. If you dream about someone who is struggling, it could be a sign that you need to be more understanding and patient with them.
- If you dream about someone you don’t know and you find yourself feeling attracted to them, it could be a sign that you’re ready to open up to new experiences and new people.
It could also be a sign that you’re ready to let go of any past hurts and embrace love and compassion.
- If you dream about a celebrity or someone famous, this could mean that there’s something about their life or personality that you admire so much that it has rubbed off on your subconscious.
The spiritual meaning of dreaming about someone who passed away
We’ve had a look at recurrent dreams about someone you know, and someone you don’t know. But what about recurrent dreams about someone who has passed away? What is their spiritual meaning?
- They’re reaching out in your dreams to let you know that they’re ok.
Here’s an example from my life: When my grandmother died, she came to me in my dreams. She was sitting comfortably in her armchair watching her favorite soap opera. She turned to me and smiled. She seemed at peace.
I knew it was a sign that I shouldn’t worry or feel sad because she was in a better place.
- They may be trying to tell you something important by coming into your dreams.
For example, if you’ve been dreaming of your late grandmother, it might mean that she is trying to nudge you in a particular direction and give you a sign that it’s time to make a big life change.
This could be something as meaningful as moving to the other side of the world or changing jobs. Or, it could be something as simple as taking more time out for yourself each week or spending more time with family.
- Sometimes dreaming about someone who has died could mean that you need to pay more attention to your loved ones.
Think about it. Are you spending enough time with your friends and family members. Are you nurturing or neglecting your relationships? Life is short, you need to embrace it while you can.
- It could be a sign that you are feeling some regret for the things you didn’t say to them or do for them when they were alive.
Sometimes people pass away suddenly and you are left with unresolved issues – perhaps you had a fight over something silly and never got a chance to make up. This dream could be a way for you to tell them how you feel so that you can both move on.
If you keep dreaming about someone who died and you’re unable to figure out what the dream means, don’t hesitate to ask for help.

The role of emotions
In recent years, scientists have begun to explore the role of emotions in dreams. Research has shown that emotions play a vital role in dreams.
Dreams allow us to work through our unresolved emotions and can even help us process traumatic events. Dreams can also act as a form of emotional regulation, allowing us to express emotions in a safe space.
Studies have shown that people who experience high levels of emotional distress are more likely to have vivid dreams with intense emotions.
For example, people who are grieving the loss of a loved one may have dreams that reflect their sadness or struggle to come to terms with their grief.
People who are experiencing anxiety may have dreams that reflect their fears and worries.
And people who are dealing with depression may have dreams that explore feelings of hopelessness and despair.
These examples illustrate how emotions can play a role in our dreams.
Dreams can help us process and make sense of our emotions, allowing us to gain emotional clarity and peace. By understanding the role of emotions in dreams, we can gain insight into our emotional states and better understand our subconscious minds.
Karmic connections
Karmic connections and dreams are often seen as symbols of spiritual growth and understanding of the world. Karmic connections are believed to be a link between people, places, and events that have a spiritual, or karmic, purpose.
Dreams are believed to be a way for the subconscious to communicate with the conscious mind, helping us to understand our own feelings, thoughts, and beliefs.
Karmic connections can be seen in dreams as well, as they often represent relationships that we have with people, places, and events from our past.
For example, if a person dreams of an old classmate they had a difficult relationship with, it may be a sign that it is time to reconcile or learn from the experience.
Karmic connections in dreams can also be symbolic of past life experiences. When a dreamer sees a person, place, or event that is familiar to them, it may be a sign that there is a karmic connection between them and that person, place, or event from a past life.
Finally, karmic connections and dreams can be seen as tools for spiritual growth and understanding. Dreams can often help us to make sense of our life experiences and to understand our place in the universe.
By recognizing karmic connections in our dreams, we can gain insight into our past and present lives, and how our actions have consequences for our future.
