Added DiffLines:

* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainWakeMeUp'': Dreamscapes are populated by an "Avatar", which is what the dreamer themselves looks like within the dream, and then nameless apparitions that serve whatever purpose the dream is about.
* ''Fanfic/IntoTheFog'': The Velvet Room's inhabitants live in a space between dreams and reality. Rei even questions if they truly exist, but Igor confirms that they can leave the Velvet Room and enter the human world.

* ''ComicBook/{{Rogue}}'': In her miniseries, Rogue meets a mysterious man immune to her draining touch who claims to be a "mutant dream". According to him one day a woman who wanted a baby had a dream about giving birth and woke to a real child crying in her house, raising it in spite of her confusion. He's capable of crossing in between reality and a DreamLand and he seeks Rogue's help in stopping her mother from corrupting it and thus corrupting the waking minds of everyone. When Rogue stops her mother it turns out she was just a dream of her after the real one died.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'': When an especially vivid dream ends, a part of its dreamer's consciousness may be "cleaved off" in the form of a central figure from that night's visions and wander off into the Ethereal Plane as an animate dream. By virtue of their nature, animate dreams are a varied lot and can resemble anything from a gibbering nightmare to a random person's relative. Most try to orbit near active dreamscapes to sustain themselves off of their emotions, but they're often bullied into service by more powerful denizes of the plane such as night hags, xill, or nightmare dragons.

* ''VideoGame/DeadlyPremonition'': Agent Francis York Morgan has an invisible friend named Zach. Zach acts as a stand-in for the player; whenever York addresses Zach, York is speaking through the FourthWall. The in-game explanation is a bit more [[MindScrew complicated]].

Ghosts are [[OurGhostsAreDifferent a separate trope]], while virtual entities are covered by InsideAComputerSystem, ProjectedMan and DigitalAvatar. Compare ImaginaryFriend, IntangibleMan. When a character like this manifests in the "real" world, that's LivingDream, and may become a full-fledged {{Tulpa}}. See also DreamLand and DreamApocalypse.

Characters in fiction are imaginary. Now extend the fact that characters that are imaginary within a work of fiction, and you get Dream People. They might be inhabitants of {{Dreamland}} or hallucinations, but that doesn't mean they don't have hopes and fears. If the real characters know about the imaginary nature of the Dream People, they may or may not [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman stop caring about their well-being]].
