Dream About Being a Ghost
Detailed Interpretation
You're the ghost—invisible, ethereal, not quite real. Others can't see you or don't acknowledge you. This represents feeling invisible, unrecognized, disconnected from life.
Can others see you? Invisible suggests being overlooked. Partially visible suggests inconsistent acknowledgment. Visible but ignored suggests being dismissed.
How do you feel as ghost? Peaceful suggests comfort with invisibility. Frustrated suggests wanting to be seen. Sad suggests mourning lost connection.
Being ghost dreams often represent: - Feeling invisible or overlooked - Social disconnection - Not feeling fully alive - Part of you that's "died" to others - Existential disconnection
The ghost is present but not participant. Where in life are you present but invisible?

- Trying to communicate but can't: Voiceless invisible; message can't get through.
