What does it mean if you dream about someone repeatedly?

Dreaming can help our brains sort through information while we sleep. Dr Mayer also said that dreaming about someone over and over again shouldn't be interpreted in a literal way. That person might actually be symbolising certain stress or anxiety we are going through.

Are you repeatedly dreaming about the same person? There is a lot of discussion behind the meaning of dreams, with the general belief that they reveal the depths of our subconscious, including our fears and desires. But what does it mean if you dream about the same person regularly when you hit the hay?

According to a clinical psychologist, having recurring dreams about the same person shouldn't be taken too literally. Whether it's our partners, close friends or family, we create emotional bonds with people that give us security and safety. Having recurring dreams is a common phenomenon, with two-thirds of us experiencing them. These dreams may not mean that you are obsessed with this individual but may symbolise your feelings and worries. Some of us may dream about the people we spend a lot of time with, while others may dream of those we miss — such as those who are no longer with us. "The model of the mind is very true to the idea of a computer," clinical psychologist Dr John Mayer told Elite Daily. "When we go to sleep, that little computer will keep churning. It doesn't just turn off and stop. We have a perception that we're blank when we sleep – but [the brain] keeps going." Dreaming can help our brains sort through information while we sleep. Dr Mayer also said that dreaming about someone over and over again shouldn't be interpreted in a literal way. That person might actually be symbolising certain stress or anxiety we are going through. For example, if you dream about the same colleague, you might not have an issue with that particular individual but a more general work situation to work through. "The dreams are usually not exactly the same each time, but the recurring theme is usually something in your head that is somehow unresolved. It just keeps repeating over and over again in that computer," he said. "So if the data is the same in the machine, you need to replace it with other data, or resolve that conflict, or solve that problem."

Some of the reasons we dream about the same people may be:

We see them a lot during the day (such as a family member or colleague) Their bond is particularly strong with us, such as a parent Your dream may be a way of dealing with loss and grief, especially if someone close has passed away If you have nightmares about someone, it may signify that you are trying to keep them safe (such as a child) Dreaming of someone from your past may be a sign that you want them back in your life

"} You might picture something mundane, like stumbling into them while you’re in line at the bank, or hanging out at a quiet bar. You can also choose a more fantastical scenario if you prefer. Maybe you’re wandering through a castle when you meet them, or floating through the cosmos.

You don’t even necessarily know what they look like. Just imagine yourself stumbling upon them in whatever situation you’d like to imagine. If you want to know more about what they look like, try to ascribe what you think they look like. What kind of hair do they have? How tall are they? What do they smell like?
