Oh to dream… without the hidden messages

And I quote:

To dream of a haunted house, signifies unfinished emotional business, related to your childhood family, dead relatives, or repressed memories and feelings.

Couldn’t it just be a haunted house I need to write about? Do I *have* to go poking around in the wetwalls and fight the plaster and lathe to get to some inner psyche-psychodrama? Of course not…

In general, ghosts symbolizes aspects of yourself that you fear. This may involve a painful memory, guilt, or some repressed thoughts. You may be afraid of death and dying. Alternatively, ghosts are representative of something that is no longer obtainable or within reach. It indicates a feeling of disconnection from life and society. This dream may be a calling for you to move on and abandon your outdated modes of thinking and behavior.

To dream that you reach out to touch a ghost, but it disappears, indicates that you are taking steps to acknowledging some painful or repressed thoughts even though you are not ready to fully confront them.

To see the ghost of a living relative or friend in your dream, signifies that you are in danger of malice acts by that person.

To see the ghost of a dead friend/relative in your dream, suggests guilt and regrets concerning the past relationships with that particular person.

Hmmm. Considering the people and ghosts that inhabit that damn house I dream about, I probably should analyze the damn thing a little further. I mean, the people change, and the decorations change and sometimes the layout and ‘modern-ness’ of the house are slightly different, but essentially it’s the same house. It’s like someone took my uncle’s house, and my grandparent’s old house and left them alone with some champagne and chocolate covered strawberries and WHAMMO! 12 months later (I hear housing gestation periods are 12 months) there’s a damn semi-haunted morphing twisty house to haunt me with.
