family, friends, acquaintances, colleagues, people from past to present, strangers, famous people, criminals, crowds/groups People have an impact in our daily lives, consciously or sub-consciously. Old friends, past to present, all rolled into one dream-story. This makes you wonder why the old school yard or people from the past are in a current-day situation or re-occur in your dreams. There is no scale for time in dreams. The past, present and future exist as one.
