I cant see faces when i dream?

Question

Every once in a while when i dream i cant see the face of who im talking to! I always know who the person is but i can just never see their face. I always try really hard to look at the person too but i never can. Im either looking down and trying really hard to look up or closing my eyes or something and they wont open. Its so wierd why does this happen?

Answer 1

I think that's common.

My guess is that dreams are not usually really detailed

and therefore you just get a sense of things.

Answer 2

You might have been emotionally abused.  like, for instance, someone was using their face and their language to hurt you and so you are trying to protect yourself in your dreams from another attack.  Does this make sense?

Answer 3

I would guess it is just another dream. Weird things always happen in dreams. If you recognize that you are struggling in a dream, I think it just highlights what you just thought of and so you imagine yourself struggling to look up.

Ok, I guess that sounded weird, it is hard to explain.

Answer 4

yeah if its someone made up then you cant see their face cause its sometimes hard to imagine, and if they are real then i dont know why but you cant really control your brain and its just wandering, anything (including weird crazy things) can happen.  

Answer 5

I was going to ask this question too. I have the same experience. However, I can't see anyone's face ever! Just like you, I know who they are, but cannot see their face. In my dreams, I also cannot see myself at all. It's like being a third person in a book. Events happen around me, but I'm on the outside looking in. It may be because I feel that way about myself in reality. Since childhood, I've always believed I am an observer in this world, never a participant. I wish I could answer your question, but when I saw it, I wanted to see if your experience was the same as mine. I sincerely hope someone will help you with this. Best wishes.  

Answer 6

I get this is at times... It weird really because when your sleeping you know that you are dreaming which is what we call our Subconcious but you can never wake yourself up. However i heard that if someone can understand the subconcious mind then they could control their dream etc. Hence why we have nightmares - we are worrying about something so our subconcious is reminding us and we cannot control it so we just have to get through it.
