Your words here speak to my experience of a certain circuit or mode of consciosuness that exposes overlays between daytime and dreamtime realities, when figures or objects or circumstances from my dreams appear in my waking world. Fortunately this does not happen very often or I'd have to uproot and transplant myself to the Australian outback and seek guidance from the Aborigine.

I have also experienced that certain individuals in my life, not many but few, appear in my dreams more often than not. Whether their appearance symbolizes some aspect of The Self or whether they are paying me a personal astral visit, well, either or both explanations might do in a pinch. But honestly, I have to say I don't know. I also might add that not knowing has never gotten in the way of me experiencing anything.
