For instance - you may see a man in a shirt, jacket, etc. and he is the manifestation of your dad, uncle, and brother. Of course, there is usually some common trait amongst these characters that are conglomerated in dreams to make these ambiguous characters, but they always protray your dream-thoughts accuratly (because well.. it's you). You won't recognise the face of the person becuase they don't exactly have one. They are the essential mix of several people in your mind projected in the body of one character.

There are chracters faces who you will see, and that is usually because they only represent one person in your dream-thoughts, or they are not a real person at all.
