I wanted to tell them that the people in it were my parents, but I felt a bit self-aggrandizing if I did. I woke up in wonderment and still considering whether to let them know who I was.
Since one of my aunts was really in the theatre in her youth, this didn't surprise me about her. But 'knowing' that my parents were also in it (not IRL) was a surprise-a pleasant and proud surprise.
I am not sure if you have read this book, but I found that it was immensely helpful with dream interpretation - It is called 'Inner Work' by Robert Johnson. The book tells us mainly that (hopefully I am not telling you something that you didn't already know) dream images/stories don't usually refer to outside circumstances, only occasionally. Most of the images refer to a part of our own psyche and what that portion would represent to us.

Anyway - I don't want to step on toes as maybe you already have your own method, but I thought that I would try to help out
