Dreaming About Someone You Don’t Know at All
Dreams are a strange phenomenon and sometimes it really gets so perplexing and astonishing that it becomes very difficult to interpret the meaning in a right way.

In another context, if you see an unknown person in your dream and that person is pretending to be someone you already know, then it represents charade. That person is betraying in nature. It means you have an idea about that person. You know the real face of this person. The face that he is trying to hide from the rest of the world and is successful in his charade.
Another grim yet interesting dream context is when you see yourself in a marriage with all the unknown person in it, then it might indicate that someone close to you will die.
Whereas if you dream of kissing an unknown person in a dream, then it signifies that you are accepting the hidden and suppressed feeling about yourself and is ready to showcase that to theworld. It might be an talent that is hidden and the mind wants you to accept that talent and wants it to showcase it to the world.
Another common yet heavily misunderstood dream is when you dream about being intimate with someone you don’t know.
Being intimate with a stranger can mean that you are looking for risk in your life. You want to take risk and is lacks passion in life so you keep looking for something in which you find passion.
If you have found your passion then you want to explore that passion. You might have not fully embraced your passion and is therefore not fully integrated into you. You want to risk, feel the adrenaline pumping through your veins.
So these are few interpretation of dreams about someone you don’t know or dream about a stranger. Interpret it according to the waking life situation and the emotional dilemma you might be facing in your waking life.
Dreaming About Someone Dying
Death is an inevitable fact and something that cannot be avoided by anyone. Man is mortal and will decease one day. This is something everyone has to go through. Almost every one of us have experienced someone dying, be it a relative, someone in the family or any neighbor.
Death is something that people might have a dream about. So if you had a dream in which you saw someone dying, then it has to be interpreted accordingly as it might give certain signs.
If you have lost a loved one in the close duration, then it is obvious that you might have these dreams as you are mourning their loss. So, if this is the case, then you don’t have to worry about the meaning of these dreams as it is.
Before that, it must be noted that dreaming about someone dying is not entirely a bad sign or a sign that someone will die.
It is rather a sign that you want to either end something or a situation. It might be a friendship that is dragging you back or a job that is making you lose effectiveness and efficiency.
So, a death in a dream might be trying to tell you that it is high time that you end those chapters and move ahead with your life. Mark one thing that dreaming about someone dying does not necessarily mean that someone will actually die.
Sometimes it means that you want to exit the way of life that you are living and start a new life. So, to start a new life you have to end the old life. Here by this we mean the way of life, not life itself.
Dreaming About Someone Chasing You
Some dreams are just the manifestation of our thoughts of the waking life and thus makes it difficult to interpret and usually does not have any sensical meaning to it. But some dreams are the indication of your hidden feelings and emotions whereas some even considers dreams as signs from astral plane as well as prediction about coming events.

You are trying to avoid something or someone. That person or thing chasing you is not trying to lure you away rather it’s the unconscious mind trying to tell you that you should acknowledge that feeling or emotion or the person rather than running away from it.
For instance if you are being chased by a singer, then it might suggest that you have the potential to sing or become a singer, but you are trying to run away from acknowledging that fact.
One thing should be kept in in mind that if you will keep on avoiding that then it is also possible that these dreams will keep on coming. If you see this kind of dream more often then its high time you should focus on the problem and should tackle the situation as soon as possible.
Dreams about being chased by something you fear can tell you that you are running away from your fear rather than facing it. And it’s a well known fact that if you avoid your fear it tends to become bigger and more fearer.
So in our imagination and thus in our dreams, it comes as something that is chasing us. So if these dreams persist and recur over a long time than it is an indication that you must face your fear and win over it. That is what your subconscious mind is trying to tell you. Listen to it, it’s your mind.

Keep in mind that the both the person in the dream is you. The other person can be in the form of anyone but its just the manifestation of your own mind.

Dreaming About The Same Person Repeatedly
Dreams are not so special occurrence and does happen to most of us frequently. It is not something that is rare and hence almost everyone of us have experienced.
With every dream, we become conscious of the meaning or hidden significance of that dream. A dream really does varies and from person to person and their waking life.
Dreams are reflection of your subconscious mind. So, having a recurring dream about someone can be disturbing for many. Maybe the person you are constantly dreaming about is someone you are trying to forget or someone that is long gone. So seeing them again and again in your dream can be rather disturbing and often full of irritation.
So why are you having these dream? There can be various reasons for this. Lets talk about them one by one.
The first reason about having a dream about the same person repeatedly is having the feeling of guilt. Our subconscious mind is responsible for conceiving dreams and it holds our feelings as well.
So, having guilt about something or related to someone can stay in the back of the mind and often comes up as dreams. It might be something that you have done or something that might have hurt someone. So that feeling is there in your mind and even your subconscious mind is aware of the fact that you have done something wrong.
So it comes in the form of a recurring dream. If this is the case then you must reapproach your life and try to make peace with that person or that situation. Your dreams will stop when you resolve your issues with the person you have recurring dreams of.
Another reason is that you keep on dreaming about the same person repeatedly because you miss them and you genuinely want to see them. Our dreams are the reflection of our emotions and if you have recurring dream about someone then it shows that you want them person in your life.
In our waking life, we tend to suppress our emotions but while sleeping we lose the control and the subconscious mind takes the wheel. It takes us to the place where we want to go but because of any reason we don’t tend to. So having a dream about someone repeatedly means we want to see that person or want that person in our life. We want that person close.
There is another reason for having a recurring dream about someone. There are some wishes we want to get true but deep down we know it won’t. in our waking life, we don’t have any power but in our dream, we are free to imagine anything and everything we can.
Having a recurring dream about someone can mean that we want that person to be involved with you romantically and you have been thinking about that person continuously and thus it is reflected in your dream.
If this is the case, then tie the lace and run for that person. Its time to confront that person about your feelings. It’s now or never.
