 What does it mean if you see a face in a dream specifically if you see like a particular face that keeps coming up or if it's like a face that you don't recognize and you keep seeing the face in a dream or a nightmare then what does it mean? Well the truth is actually kind of weird so I thought I'd make a whole video to talk about this. Before we start I just want to let you know that the human brain can't actually create a new face I didn't realize this until the other day. Your brain is incapable of creating a new face you can only see a face in a dream from a memory so at some point in your life whatever the face is that you're seeing in a dream you have seen it in real life that's kind of creepy to think about right? By the way with dream meanings and stuff like that you can't really understand what the dream means until you actually remember your dreams so if you're having trouble remembering your dreams I have a guide PDF guide link is in the description it's like a mini kind of program which explains exactly how to remember 10 times more dreams it's actually really cool. Okay so basically when you dream about a particular face in a dream it usually indicates kind of like what you think about the person because like I said you can't create new faces so whatever the face is especially if it's someone you know that will usually show you what you think about the person in real life and by the way with dream meanings I know it's complicated I know it's very subjective there's different things that happen so in this video I'm just gonna kind of generalize a little bit and just share what seeing a face in a dream means for most people and then you can kind of like take what works and apply it to yourself so yeah take it with a grain of salt or if you only focus on and remember the person's face it usually means that you take them kind of a face value it was like you don't actually see the qualities of the person you more just kind of see their physical attributes like body and face it's also interesting that usually in a dream we only see somebody else's face we very rarely see our own face and when you do see your own face it can mean different things for different people but usually it means you're seeing kind of like how you feel about yourself which is also sometimes known as your residual self image you may have remember this time from the matrix when he's kind of like in that white space and he kind of sees his body but it's not really his body and he says how am I able to see my body if none of this is real well of course it's because it's your own brain's idea of what you look like your residual self image so it's kind of left over from before you can see your residual self image if you see your own face in a dream it's kind of like what you feel and think about yourself so this is another reason why I tend to say to people especially beginners not to look in a mirror in a lucid dream because as a beginner the idea of a residual self image the idea of like diving into your deepest beliefs about yourself it's kind of intense it can be very uncomfortable unsettling in some cases it can even be scary to really see how you feel about yourself subconsciously that's not always a good thing you know sometimes that's scary or uncomfortable so that's why I say avoid looking in a mirror unless you're a bit more advanced and a bit more experienced it's also very important to when you see this face in the dream to really pay attention to kind of the expression on the face might even be a micro expression and it might even just be like how you kind of feel about the face you might look at the face in the dream and kind of feel scared or you might look at it and kind of feel like a sense of belonging as a homey sense like something familiar this really kind of shows you what you feel and think about that person it might also be used as a kind of a label so this is really interesting thing right let's say if you don't recognize the face so it's just a face of us on a stranger like I said you've probably seen that face at some point so your brain has assigned that face to that person as a kind of a label so if that person in the dream the dream character who has that face if that person is doing something specific your brain has assigned a certain facial expression to that character to show you what you feel about what that character is doing I know that's a bit confusing to follow but let me give you an example let's say a dream character is stealing something okay in a dream and you look at their face and then on their face is like this kind of like screwed up kind of like angry face basically what that is showing you is that your subconscious mind feels angry because it's a reflection isn't that your subconscious mind feels angry about what that character is doing so the stealing so it's kind of an interesting mirror it shows you the face is kind of like a your own brain putting a label on something in the same way if you see somebody you know and then their facial expression is I don't know really happy that kind of shows you that you feel happy when you're with that person or when you when you think about that person I could obviously dive way more into this but dream meanings you know I don't tend to focus on that on this channel but I do have a book specifically about how to remember more dreams it's kind of like a book and a mini program some bonuses and stuff so if you want to remember more detail about your dreams maybe see kind of like more of the context about the dream that you had where you were seeing a face then you should definitely check out the book which is in the description and you'll learn how to 10x your dream recall like you'll be able to remember dreams in incredible detail and they'll be really vivid as well I also have videos about this by the way so check out my channel make sure to subscribe and I'll see you next time
