Jesus
Jesus Christ, Christ, Seeing Jesus
For Christians, a dream of Jesus can be one of the most treasured experiences of a lifetime, and many describe a warmth they still feel years later. He may appear as the familiar figure from paintings, as a teacher on a hillside or as someone who simply sits beside you. The Gospels show him eating with outsiders, washing his friends' feet and forgiving people others had written off, so the dream often turns on compassion, humility and second chances. Even for people outside the faith, he can stand for kindness with no strings attached. Notice how he treated you, since that is often the kind of love you're longing to give or receive.
