I Am Fascinated By Science, Religion, and Philosophy

How do people know we don't dream faces we've never seen?
I most often dream of totally random anonymous people that I could not have seen. And I always dream in color, albeit usually hazy or subdued. But the only sound in my dreams is my own thoughts and my own voice. All other info in my dreams comes as a narative.
Whoever said that we don't invent faces in dreams does not know what they are talking about.

Yeah I always wondered that. I was told there was some scientific reasoning behind it but I've always had the weirdest dreams in alternate realities. I don't ever see who I am in my dreams but I could swear I never met anyone in my dreams before.

Of course I wouldn't know how to know for sure since they come and go like that.
We can dream faces and other things we haven't seen. Much of our dreams are constructions of many persons or many things assembled to send us a message from the subconcious by symbolism ond emotional triggers.

@Anonymartyr but then I'd ask you how you know that, how do you know you haven't seen that face?
I dream all kinds of faces I could not have seen. Im all but a shut-in and only see maybe a few dozen new faces in a whole year. I memorize faces much better than names or numbers and will recognize a face I haven't seen in decades.
When it comes to dreams I lean towards the concepts put forth by Dr. Karl Gustav Jung.
