So many opinions being stated as fact. Since that seems to be the trend, I'm going to go ahead and affirm that you are both wrong. And, whereas some people's brains might have trouble creating new faces - and draw unequivocally from what they've already seen - others' minds, even subconsciously, can create new faces as amalgamations of others that they've seen in waking life. For instance, I am a graphic artist who draws faces, mostly. My mind has a very intimate familiarity with crossing different mouths from different eyes. This may very well mean the way my mind throws together faces in a dream is different from the way the subconscious mind of someone who isn't all that familiar with facial recognition puts a face together.
Either one of these theories are possible, so let's not state them as if we already knew them to be universally true. K?
