What does it mean when you dream about ghosts? Ghosts are our loved ones who have died, and they can appear in our dreams to let us know that they are all right. Perhaps you feel guilty about something you said or did while the person was still alive, and this may be causing your guilt. Or perhaps there is unfinished business between you left behind when the person died, such as an argument over money or possessions, a sense of obligation that has not been fulfilled, or a rift that needs healing. Sometimes a dream about a dead relative will come up after receiving news of their death in real life - this can help you to express your grief before returning to normal life.
In these cases, it is often advisable to seek out counselling so you can talk to someone about your feelings of guilt, unfinished business and loss. However, if you are seeing ghosts in your dream that simply mean you miss them or want their help with something, it is often advisable to go ahead and speak to them. This may be difficult at first, but just try telling the ghost exactly what it is that's troubling you and they will soon be able to offer their guidance on the issue. In most cases dreams about dead loved ones represent a wish of ours for more closeness with these people from our past, so next time one pops up in a dream try giving yourself permission to ask for this!
In some cases, of course there may be a spiritual cause of which you need to beware – sometimes spirits can be malevolent and cause harm to those who encounter them, either waking or sleeping. If you sense this is the case in your dream, tell the ghost or spirit that it needs to leave you alone and immediately wake yourself up. You should also try consulting an expert such as a priest or psychic if possible, so as to find out why the spirit is appearing to you - there may be something wrong with your chakras, for example.
In deep dreaming we often become aware of our own death – this is called lucid fear and can be extremely frightening at first. This 'dream death' can turn into a nightmare that causes us stress and anxiety for months after we've woken up – I know from personal experience! This happens because we have been forced to confront our own mortality in the deepest part of our subconscious, and this can be a very powerful experience. However, I have found that relieving the tension through laughter is a better way of dealing with this fear than allowing it to overwhelm you. This will gradually help you to see your death as a natural part of life and something we all need to face.
If you find yourself dreaming about ghosts on a regular basis, I would advise taking some time out from work or school for a couple days so that you can get professional counselling from an expert such as a priest or psychic if possible, so as to find out why the spirit is appearing to you. In dreams, the spirit world is used to represent different aspects of our self, so try taking another look at your dream journal - do you see any dreams where dead people feature as symbols for living parts of yourself? Perhaps you are being shown what it feels like to be dead or dying.
If this indeed is happening, I would advise trying to figure out how you should reclaim these lost elements of yourself in real life. Perhaps there's something that needs to die off inside of you before a new part can grow stronger – have you been burying your resentments towards someone rather than confronting them? Or perhaps there's something that holds you back from being all you can be – are there parts of your personality who make unreasonable demands on others because they haven't learned to make them on themselves?
Each night before you go to bed, take a piece of paper and write down your most pressing problems so that the spirit world can help you solve them. You may experience this as an unusual dream or it may happen through intuitive insight in the form of an inner knowing. Also try asking dead people for their guidance whenever you have a difficult decision to make – I have found this works wonders!
A dream about ghost is often connected with some deeply buried part of yourself that cannot rest in peace unless you accept it into your waking life. Perhaps there's something missing from your life that makes being alive seem pointless - it might be worth staying up all night thinking about what this could be if it is unresolved in real life. Or perhaps you are being shown what it feels like to be dead or dying.

In conclusion, I cannot stress enough the need for you to confront your problems through the only vehicle available to us in the physical world - words. Some problems can only be solved by expressing them and this is one of the great joys and challenges of life. In fact, it is the only way to become truly free. It is only when you know exactly what it is that holds you back from being all that you can be that you will be able to break down your barriers and move forward with a sense of purpose. Until next time, goodbye!
