Stranger

A 'Stranger' in a dream represents an unknown aspect of yourself. People represent aspects of your consciousness, and the degree of familiarity reflects your level of self-awareness about that quality. A stranger is someone you do not know at all -- they represent a quality within you that you have not yet recognized or identified. This is significant because it means there is a part of you operating in your life that you are not aware of. It could be a strength you have not discovered, a pattern you have not recognized, or a quality that is influencing your behavior without your knowledge. When a stranger shows up in your dream, pay attention to their characteristics and behavior. These qualities exist within you, even though you do not yet recognize them. Use the dream as an opportunity to discover something new about yourself. Increase your self-awareness through concentration, reflection, and honest inner examination. The stranger will become familiar once you find the courage to look.
