Dreaming of a Ghost
ghost · mostly negative, with some bright spots
A ghost mostly warns of danger, false friends and bereavement, with a few brighter visions.
What happens in the dream
- A ghost speaks to you: someone is trying to lure you into a trap; a grave omen in the old books
- A calm figure floating through the sky: progress in study and almost miraculous wealth, with an undertone of sadness
- Simply seeing a ghost: possibly a wedding in the family, the happiest reading here
- The ghost of a parent: danger; be wary of going into partnership with strangers
- The ghost of a friend who has died: a long trip with unpleasant company, and disappointments
- The ghost of someone still living: a friend may bear you ill will; keep your affairs under your own eye, especially if the ghost looks haggard
- A ghost or an angel in the sky: losses in the family
How you felt
- Fear or unease: the dream often reflects something from the past that isn't settled
- Longing: you may be thinking of someone who has died or is far away
Ask yourself
- What from my past keeps coming back?
- Is there someone I haven't finished grieving?
