Dreams about yourself represent your personality, and how you view yourself. You may also see people or things familiar to you in your dream. Consequently, dreaming about another person or situation can symbolize aspects of that person or situation in your waking life.
If a person dreams about themselves, some people will say that it can demonstrate various issues which are going on in their waking life. On the other side, if a person is dreaming about an unknown self, it could be the potential and desired version of themselves.
