What does it mean to dream about ghosts?
Ghosts in dreams usually represent the past — memories, unresolved feelings, or people and situations you haven't fully let go of. Something is 'haunting' you, in a quiet way.
A ghost of someone you lost can be part of grief and connection. A frightening ghost may point to guilt, regret, or a fear you keep avoiding. Being unable to escape a ghost often mirrors an issue that keeps returning until you face it.
Ask: what from my past is still with me, and what would help me make peace with it?
