character

In the Quantitative Coding System, characters are divided into people, animals and mythical beings and they may be either an individual (one person, one animal, etc.) or a group of individuals. Characters are not "coded" if:

they are generic (everyone, no one, "dogs" bark, etc.)

they are mentioned only as a sign that they are not the character the dreamer is referring to ("it was not my sister who died, it was my mother")

or

the characters have only an implied participation in the dream ("I heard a pistol being fired").

Characters are classified according to four classes: Number, Identity, Gender and Age

Animals and mythical beings are classified only in numbers, not in gender, identity or age.
  

Dreams are the touchstone of our character.
  

You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
  

Judge of your natural character by what you do in your dreams.
