Ghost

A ghost in a dream symbolizes a force that is beyond your control in waking life, such as an issue or decision. That issue hovers over you like a ghost. A ghost in a dream can also represent the deceased, who are on your mind and no longer of this material world. If you were a ghost, you may feel that you need to make yourself more “visible” to those people or situations reflected in your dream.

If the ghost was in your bedroom in the dream and it felt like an evil presence, it may not have been a dream at all, but a confusional arousal! Sleep with a nightlight on in your bedroom to eliminate bad dreams in the first few hours of sleep.
