You understand that the ones John saw were physically/bodily dead, right? Yet, they were still conscious. Is this hard for you to understand that there's more to us than just our bodies?
No, you are not interpreting Revelation correctly.
These two are the same scene:
"And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:"
"After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;"
Can you guess which one is symbolism and which one is literal?
These are the same humans in Paradise since 30AD. The same group added to daily for 1992 years. The same group that has come out of this tribulation:
"And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."
Why would you dismiss the literal view where they have had bodies since they arrived, for the symbolism John is giving in a series of explanations of the Seals that uses different colored horses as bullet points? Under the alter is the symbolism showing they are all covered by that Atonement Covenant, the New Testament you all are arguing about. Are there literal colored horses in existence some where? Does death and sheol literally ride around on horses? Why do you think you can convince readers that humans only have souls and they are all stuffed into a small place under a literal alter? You probably deny that the stars falling to earth, are literally the angels that Jesus declares He brings with Him to earth. Matthew 13. Matthew 24. Matthew 25. Jesus is not being symbolic when He states He and the Angels are on the earth gathering the sheep and goats, and the wheat and tares. Now the terms souls, wheat, tares, and goats represent literal human beings with literal physical bodies. The goats and tares are cast into the fire literally. The sheep and wheat maintain literal physical bodies. Like the church they leave Adam's dead corruptible flesh and are given God's permanent incorruptible physical bodies. To claim their souls maintain Adam's dead corruptible flesh, or God forbid, just naked souls is nonsense.
"If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked." 2 Corinthians 5:3
Paul was talking about the physical body, not a naked physical body. Paul never taught that souls existed naked without a physical body. Why do so many modern day Christians still accept a naked soul? John uses symbolism when referring to souls, not literal naked souls without a physical body.
