ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of ghosts in dreams?

Ghosts are regular symbols in dreams. They do have several different meanings. Of course ghosts are almost entirely symbolic. If you have a ghost or someone else has recently mentioned ghosts then it could be linked to that. But if that is not the case the ghost is a symbol and you need to find its meaning.

In many cases a ghosts is a symbol of death and of real fear. They link to moments when a cold eerie feelings went through you.

"Watching those TV reports of hurricane katrina REALLY SCARED me. They were just ordinary Americans suddenly living in a nightmare. "[Dream symbol - ghost]

"That guy I saw taken into an ambulance last night looked really like mike from work. It left me with a really EERIE FEELING. I actually thought it was him"[Dream Dictionary - ghost]

Sometimes a ghost can link to something that is not giving you the same feelings as it used to. E.g.

"I am doing all the same things as before but now I have split from my girlfriend they all seem so pointless and empty. ITS NOT THE SAME"[Dream symbol - ghost ship]

"I used to love driving my car so fast. But since the accident it seems to not go as sweetly. Its NOT THE SAME"[Dream Dictionary - ghost ship]

In a similar way a ghost may refer to something that you want to achieve yet in practice it is not happening. E.g.

"I never seem to see my boyfriend. He lives in another state. Its like the relationship is NOT HAPPENING at all" [Dream Dictionary - ghost]

"I have a vision in my mind of how I want things to be - yet in practice its just NOT HAPPENING."[Dream Dictionary - ghost]

In some cases the ghost can refer to situations where you feel inneffective or ignored. E.g.

"I wish I was more effective at my new job. I try so hard yet sometimes my appearance goes unoticed. I am INNEFECTIVE."[Dream Dictionary - ghosts]

"I know I need to assert myself more with him. But he just dominates me and sometimes I am just TOTALLY IGNORED when it comes to making decisions"[Dream symbol - ghost]

In some cases a ghosts may refer to someone who is about to leave your life in some way. E.g.

"I have just found out that my boss is leaving. But he will be here for another four weeks to work his notice. Its like he is HERE BUT NOT HERE"[Dream symbol - man dies and haunts][the dream which this quote is based upon is featured in full at the end of this article]

They may capture your feelings on some health issue, work problem , relationship in difficulty , your feelings about how things are generally going, your plans for the day ahead or some simple paranoia or fear.

THE DREAM For the past week I keep having a dream about this older, shaggy looking man who keeps wanting to torture me. He looked to be in his late 30s and had all my school peers to beat me and I can't do anything because my muscles are so sore I can't move. The rest of the dreams he's keeps getting older and he's hunting me down to torture and sometimes kill me. Last night he died but was haunting my house. It really creeps me out. I can't recognize the guy so I don't know where I'm getting this at.

THE REALITY The dream was not having a very good time with a manager at work. But now the dreamer had found that this manager was leaving.

DREAM ANALYSIS A haunted house generally links to some feeling that you just cannot shake off. A manager is someone who in many ways can haunt you and torture you. They have control over you and you have to accept their wishes. Perhaps the sore muscles links to the dreamers tiredness and need to constantly work to her limits. In the final dream he dies. That can show that some phase has ended. Death usually symbolises the end of some phase. That would nicely link in with the news that he was leaving.

Symbolic Meanings
HAUNT : "someone who is not really there. The manager will soon be leaving"
TORTURE : "the creul way the manager treats the dreamer"

DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer - "I hate this manager at work. I have found out that he is leaving though. But in the mean time he is still here eerily haunting us with his presence"

See how the Symbolic Meanings above weave together to form a key insight in the DREAM MEANING
