“I’m in a haunted house”

DREAM: “I have a vivid dream that I’m buying an old home and discover that the bedroom is haunted by the ghost of an angry old woman. I’m scared because I don’t know how to approach her!”

—Deirdre O’Hagan, Lake Forest, IL

WHAT IT’S TELLING YOU “Dreams that take place in a bedroom often reflect our love lives. I believe a ghost— perhaps from a past relationship—may be ‘haunting’ you. Indeed, since a house is often a reflection of the condition of our mind, body and spirit, your subconscious may be revealing anger from a long time ago that you’re now ready to address. Imagine that you are the director of your dream and ask the woman what happened to make her angry, and what you can do to help her heal. Then imagine that she receives everything she needs, and that she is now free to become a mentor to help you.”
