Dreaming of a Phantom

phantom · mostly negative, with one happy outcome

Being chased by a phantom points to strange, unsettling experiences; seeing it flee, to shrinking troubles.

What happens in the dream

  • A phantom chases you: strange and disquieting experiences
  • A phantom flees from you: your troubles will shrink

How you felt

  • Fear of the unknown: the dream may reflect a worry without a clear face
  • The past returning: something unfinished may be haunting you

Ask yourself

  • What is chasing me that I can't quite name?
  • What would happen if I turned to face it?
