In my dreams I rarely have experiences where I encounter friends or family. When I do its like I'm not even there or I am a disembodied viewer because I can't interact or really carry on conversations with them before they leave, stop communcating with me, and sometimes the dream changes. I have never really dreamed of friends like they were ever there.

When I have dreamed about my family it seems my mind wants to go into lucid mode by not recognizing them as real people or just as DCs, but, another side of me can't help but see that they look and act so much like my real family.

For instance, when I had dreamed about my mom she disappears on spot; she is known for being distracted or not being around for a few reasons

When I dream about one of my aunts she gets all dramatic and then goes into her own life away from me; she is known to be really dramatic and a drama queen

It seems like they always go there separate ways in dreams and when I dream about friends the message is clear; They never really were there for just me. They have their own life and dramas to deal with but why wouldn't I dream about them more than I have?

Why is this seemingly reoccurring trend?
