Dreaming about a neighbour
Why did I dream about my neighbour?
The availability rule at its plainest, and dreamers frequently report surprise at a neighbour appearing at all, which is precisely the point.
People who matter very little and are seen constantly appear far more than the importance of the relationship would suggest. A neighbour is high-frequency and low-significance, which makes them an unusually clean test of the rule.
If dreams cast by meaning, a neighbour would almost never appear. They appear regularly, which is about as direct a demonstration as this database offers.
The friend entry describes the same finding from the other side, where somebody deeply loved and rarely seen barely turns up at all.
Where this reads well
A clean, checkable illustration of how the cast is assembled, and dreamers can test it against a week of their own journal.
Where it is harder
None.
Worth asking yourself
How often do I actually see them? Who else appears that I do not think about? Does frequency explain my cast?
Dream interpretation is subjective. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prediction, or medical advice.
