Embrace this vision as a positive sign, indicating the potential for a rich and fulfilling journey that spans many years. It is a reminder to value and cherish the gift of life and make the most of every precious moment. However, it's important to note that dreaming about old people gathered together can also serve as a warning of unfavorable events or circumstances. These situations may not align with your desired outcomes or bring the benefits you anticipated.

Visiting famous people

I visited the home of JK Rowlings in Iowa, and another famous person came too, and I also visited another famous person in their home in Connecticut. Can't remember other famous people.

Dreaming of visiting and being in a celebrity's house may seem like a fun, exciting experience, however, this vision actually suggests you are about to receive some advice or information which, if followed, may have disastrous effects on your life. This knowledge may have been given in good faith, indicating the other party was either misinformed or does not understand your needs specifically. On the other hand, this inaccurate data may have been planted intentionally to get you to take a certain course of action that hurts you and benefits someone else. You may want to think twice about how you respond to and act on any information you receive in the near future. Additionally, this vision may symbolize facing a terrible situation where the odds are stacked against you. However, this is likely to last only a short amount of time, with things returning to normal slowly thereafter.

Boring people

Being bored by the presence of other people in your dream is a symbol of concern and sympathy you are expressing toward someone's misfortune or hardship.

Loved ones from the past in the house

I was in a home, and something was going on with the rain. A lot of people were there. I started crying loudly, with all I had. Nobody noticed. Then, I was in a place at night getting ready for bed. I was in the bathroom looking at the tub. I was going to say goodnight to my father who has passed on when my mother stopped and told me to leave dad be. I headed to the next room seeing clumps of cat hair from the cat I had many years ago. I dropped my cell phone along the way and my mom threw it at me. Then I woke up.

Being in the home but knowing that it is raining outside could indicate dangerous people or situations encroaching on your personal life. Crying, in this case, represents the release of stress, tension, or anxiety caused by a build-up of negative emotion, probably as a result of sensing the imminent threat. The next most prominent symbol is seeing your departed father, which is often interpreted as a sign of having unfinished business. In the context of this vision, whatever you have put off or forgotten to do could be coming back to haunt you. Taking care of this task, then, may help reverse the situation and give you peace of mind and closure you are seeking.

Village people

Seeing a crowd of village people you are meeting with signifies periods of happiness and wealth for you to enjoy for some period of time.

Bustling or scurrying people

Seeing bustling or scurrying people in your dream is an indication of mundane chores and obligations you are about to occupy yourself with for quite some time.

Meeting some people on the street

I was speeding in my car on a street. I crossed the street and on the other side, I saw an old friend. His car was parked backward. His engine was showing, and it seemed broken down. Next to him was a woman I knew as my boss. I said hi to them and walked into a clothes store. The store was not open to customers yet. My friend was in the store cuddling and talking to me. He told me I could do better and I said I had 2 jobs. We were happy. Outside I turned left on a corner. A door to the right had two females complaining about a man, I kept walking into a warehouse with boxes of stuff everywhere.

Although there are a lot of situations and people involved in this dream vision, there are certain aspects that reflect your personality and the way you interact with other people in your life. The notions of speeding and a warehouse filled with boxes reveal your outgoing personality, perhaps to the point when you want to make friends or get to know people better when they are not ready or shy away from you. You could also be prone to making decisions in your life in haste, without realizing that others might not like the way you act or they need some time before they can agree and accept your ways of doing things, as the store is not open for customers in this dream suggests. However, those whom you ultimately make friends or connect with, tend to remain on your side for a long time, and that's probably why you are so happy and content with this attitude and demeanor.

Impudent people

Dreaming about impudent people whom you are watching is a sign of possible slander and shame you are about to experience because of some circumstances beyond your control.

A crowd of noble people

Experiencing a dream about a gathering or get-together of many noble people is a promise of happiness and joy awaiting you to make your life more self-fulfilled and worth the efforts you are attempting.

People led by a man

Dreaming about people led or represented by a man signifies potential fulfillment of your expectations and hopes, receiving help from other people. It can also mean being annoyed or bothered by people involved in your life.

Noble people visiting you

Experiencing a dream about noble and distinguished people paying you a visit is a good sign of misfortune or bad luck parting you which will leave you joyous and happy for quite a while.

Being shunned by people

I am 63, I rarely dream any more, but today I had a nightmare. In it, I was being pursued by people, lots of people. In fact, it seemed like everyone was either after me or wanted nothing to do with me. They kept calling me a "Carcinogen". Now, I knew the word had something to do with cancer but it's such an uncommon word to me. I had to look it up after I woke up. In my dream it was like people thought I was a carcinogen, could cause harm, so they wanted me either dead or to stay away from them. I don't know what to think of my dream. I can't seem to get the word "carcinogen" out of my mind.

Being both chased and ignored are negative signs to see in a dream vision. Being chased predicts the rise of an enemy or rival who may cause disruptions or chaos in your life. This person may be someone completely new to you, like a neighbor who recently moved in or someone who joined your local church, or it may be someone you already know who has been a passive character until now. Being ignored suggests you often have negative thoughts or tend to be depressed. A new enemy could make you feel even worse than usual and bring out these traits more unless you focus your energy on positive ideas. While the word that carried much of the focus in your dream seemed unfamiliar to you, it is likely you did hear it recently, possibly in the news or in passing conversation and your subconscious picked up on it. This is supported by the perceived negative nature of the word and the traits discussed before. It may be wise to find ways to create more positive attitude and environment around yourself in the face of possible challenges.

Making people cry when parting

Hi! I dreamt about being in a position where I was about to separate from a group of people. I was emotionally touched in the dream, though I felt important to go. Tears were flowing from people's eyes because I was about to go. Please could you tell me what that means?

Seeing others crying incessantly because they do not want you to part with them in your dream indicates your joyful existence or may mean that somebody feels very compassionate toward you. A great deal of happiness may enter your life or the lives of your dear friends resulting in an elevated sense of companionship, trust and cohesion. Since you did not specify your gender, dreams of this nature for a young woman can also mean disagreement or a fight with her loved one leading to quick reconciliation, only if she realizes that it was her fault. For salespeople, this dream vision may portend short-lived troubles or woes.

People under various circumstances

Two tour buses passed me by with "Wild Horses Tour Taylor Swift" written on the side with a picture of a brown horse running wild. Also my granddaughter with white bird poop in her hair, my elderly friend behind me getting up from a fall but smiling saying she is fine and doesn't have her walking stick. And then actor Tyler Perry in a hat and sunglasses sitting in a lawn chair but when I get closer it is not him. My boyfriend hits a rabbit with a broom in the corner of the kitchen, his grandson morphs into my friend's grandson. I put on a red vest. My boyfriend wakes up searching for me. All in the same dream.

There are a lot of conflicting images and symbols in this dream, making it difficult to a singular conclusion. The multiple symbols in and of themselves may point to being extremely busy and possibly over-inundated with information. Seeing celebrities or their images, in this vision, may reflect your desire to be in front of a crowd. You may enjoy teaching or entertaining others, and you may even have a talent for getting people to listen to you. The red vest you put on at the end of the vision indicates acting with your heart more than your head. Finally, the older friend that you see in your vision could represent your own desire to keep pushing yourself to do your best, even without the support of others. If you strongly believe in your dreams and yourself, you may be able to achieve what you want with your own hands.

Scared of people inhabiting the dream

I dreamed that I asked the people in my dream as they were strangers to identify themselves and who gave them permission to enter my dreams. I then woke with fright.

Meeting a stranger in a dream vision represents much the same in wake life. You may be about to see an influx in the number of people in your social circle or an increase in rivals. Given their unwanted, permitted existence in your dream, it seems more likely that you would not get along with these individuals right away, however, that does not necessarily make them your enemies. When you meet someone new, it would be wise to be cautious but courteous until you know the value and pleasure their friendship can add to your life.

Fat and skinny people staring

I have a dream where these people are staring at me in the hallway of my own home, these people are either really skinny or really fat. There is no one in between.

Thin people tend to represent others in your life going through difficult or troubling times. You may have friends who are suffering under the weight of debt or dealing with serious medical conditions. While you may want to help, there is very little you can do. This is contrasted with the image of fat people, a sign symbolically linked with the idea of other friends experiencing great joy in their lives either due to marriage, new jobs, or other fortuitous circumstances. These people staring at you but not interfering with you at all suggest that, whether you experience happiness or hardship, no one can do more to influence the course of your life than you.

Uninvited people staying over

Having uninvited guests in your house can sometimes refer to unwanted inconveniences. You might feel irritated over inefficient colleagues or tight deadlines. Perhaps you keep butting heads with a co-worker. Alternatively, this may point to unexpected information that gives you a great idea for a project or a business venture.

Looking for someone and can't find them

Unable to locate someone who is hiding or lost predicts major conflict between you and this missing person. While you may already be fighting with this person, this dream imagery provides hope that your relationship can still be fixed. This also implies that a close friend is keeping a big secret from you. They could be ashamed about this secret or it may have something to do with you and they do not want to hurt you with this information.

Experiencing difficulties reaching out to a couple

I am searching for a couple to wish them a happy anniversary, facing many difficulties in finding them and finally found them.

Searching for people while facing difficulties in the process, but being able to locate them eventually could be considered a sign of progress you are making in your waking life. You may be accomplishing smaller goals that you have set for yourself. All of these could be steps towards achieving something much bigger than the sum of its parts.

People at random yelling

I was in a random house, I remember there was a long hallway it led to a room and there was a window in that room close to the ground, and outside of it this man was yelling and freaking out. I kept telling him to go away and I was yelling at him, the next part of the dream there was this teenage girl and she was also yelling. I ran into the room and tried telling her to stop, but I couldn't talk, so I was mouthing the words telling her to kill herself.

Visiting an unfamiliar abode is often associated with an upcoming encounter with someone new to you, however, it is likely this individual has had their eye on making your acquaintance for some time now. Despite their interest in you, the feelings may be one-sided, as being yelled at by strangers could point toward negative reactions to things this man (or woman) says or does. Being unable to reply to the man, but not the teenager later in the vision, may predict feelings of futility when it comes to removing this person from your life, suggesting you have come to terms with their presence or are too tired to fight their intrusion anymore.

Strong dislike toward people from the past

My fiance was with his ex, she convinced him to cut off his beard. I was pissed because I like his beard. When I tried to resolve it, I couldn't find him and realized he was with her and I was paranoid he might be cheating on me, but he wasn't. It hurt my feelings. In another dream, I was with my ex. He was trying to get me to perform music with him. He is now married, but in this dream, he was flirting with me and he disgusted me, but I played for him anyway. Both men have cheated on me.

Your first vision, which centers on your fear of your fiance cheating, suggests you are concerned about being around a certain individual or a group of people in the future. This is likely related to your wedding plans, so it seems you could be hesitant to invite some family members or a past "frenemy" who has rubbed you the wrong way. The second dream about playing music with your ex-boyfriend may represent an upcoming event that perplexes or surprises you. It is neither a positive nor a negative symbol. It only warns that you should anticipate the unexpected to happen.

People admiring the house

There were many people at my house viewing and admiring my house. It's like some wanted to buy it. But was too many people who just appeared at the same time.

A dream in which you see people admiring your house as if they were interested in buying it could be representative of the current state of your life. It is possible there is something about your current living arrangements that you are not truly satisfied with. This, in turn, may be stressing you out and not allowing you to enjoy the other aspects of your life to the fullest. Until you decide to actively change whatever it is that is bothering you, you may find yourself unable to move forward.
