Contents:
Think of dream characters as actors chosen for the roles they play. Some are main actors, some are supporting actors, some are like movie extras used to set the scene.

Separate the actor from the role. In the same way, separate the person from the dream character based on them. Dreams can directly depict people you know, but more often the characters are projections of your inner world. And the way they are presented in a dream — appearance, dress, behavior, demeanor — is based on your thoughts, feelings, perceptions, desires, observations and so forth. Unlikely, but not impossible.
Dream Interpretation: Theatre
Your observations about a person can be spot on and take form in your dreams. You can even see things about people that are hidden or still to come in the future, such as a coming pregnancy or change of hairstyle. Usually, though, characterization is involved. Everything in your dreams is presented subjectively, not objectively. The dreaming mind translates all input into symbolism. What you see in a dream is a rendering of information, a translation, and at the core of it are essential truths and facts. How your dreaming mind presents everything to you depends largely on how you process information and see the world and yourself.
The type of dream experience you have also affects how information is rendered as dream imagery and sensation.

They also mention the close bond you formed out of your common experiences. The sister left home and has been out of touch, and for the sibling who had this dream the ghost represents her sister — or, more accurately, her perception that her sister is like a ghost in that her memory remains but her physical presence is gone. You might have someone in your life at the moment who is acting like a 'drama queen' and you feel you are participating in their 'act' right now. For example, compassion, listening, leadership and your philosophy of life work through your female energy. Wishful Thinking or Not? Another interpretation is that if the cast were acting out a scene that's familiar to your own situation, you are trying to make sense of it all and see it from everyone's point of view.
Direct representation means, when you look at the person in the dream, you see an objective representation or even the essence of the real person. Experiments in lucid dreaming prove that people can meet in dreams and pass accurate information.
