Sorry, I should have been more specific. Think of the qualities which most predominate in your mind. For example...perhaps he's very fearless or strong-minded. It could indicate that these are qualities which you are cultivating within yourself....or that you perhaps need to focus on. I've been told that most often when we dream of other people that they represent aspects of ourselves.
I had a dream about a girlfriend of mine not being afraid to kill a snake. I was VERY afraid of the snake. She was representing my own fearlessness which was growing and was at a point of transition for me. The dream was simply pointing out that I too was fearless and capable of "killing the snake". It was not really about her at all.
Does this make any more sense? Sorry if it wasn't clear
