My dreams often have elaborate social context in them — I’ll dream not just about a particular person (real or only dreamed), but about a dream-person within a whole dream social network and occasionally even a whole culture or civilization. I’ll dream about the comforting feeling of looking across a room and seeing a clump of people I have a particular connection with, or of daily life against the background of the struggle against an imaginary totalitarian state, or of the rich imaginary history I have with an imaginary lover. Or about real people too, of course, but I find the elaborate, if implied, backstory even more startling when it’s created from whole cloth by my subconscious.
You know, I guess none of this is really surprising.
