There are multiple levels of meanings in dreams. The first action I take in deciphering my dreams is to see what those dream characters are mirroring to me.
In my belief, there is also an aspect of the 'other' person inhabiting Dreamscape, but that aspect is but a sliver. I would call it an aspect of the other-self, but I wouldn't call it the person's 'real' self because that implies that their waking self is somehow 'not real' and I think all the aspects are just as real as the others.
Their Dream Self may be perceiving my Dream Self in Dreamscape, as well. They will see the aspects of me they need for their own self-reflection. Those aspects are but a part of me and not the whole 'real' me any more than what you are seeing right now is the whole 'real' me.
What's really interesting is when we encounter very vivid characters in Dreamscape, that we don't know in waking life. Especially when those characters appear on a recurring basis.
