A person you know can represent: That actual person in real life.
Your perception or opinion of that person, or a characteristic you attribute to them (for example, your disciplinarian eighth-grade teacher might represent the discipline you need to finish a particular project on time).
For more clues, consider the person’s actions, manner, context, your feelings, and anything that stood out about the person in the dream.
