Dreams about ghosts can hardly be called pleasant. Usually, such dreams are full of anxiety and discomfort. But what do they prophesy?

In this article, we will talk about the interpretation of dreams about ghosts. For our analysis, we use several dream books and encyclopedias (see the list below).


What Does It Mean to See a Ghost in a Dream? 

In general, seeing ghosts in a dream can symbolize: 
  • recurring episodes of guilt
  • memories of past traumas
  • the feeling of isolation 
  • repressed thoughts
  • being an arrogant, egocentric
  • unpleasant consequences of your arrogance and selfishness  

As you can see, dreaming about ghosts is not a good sign. However, if you don’t run away from the ghost and it then goes away, it symbolizes good luck in business in love.
