What does it mean to dream that you are a ghost?

Question

I was in a classroom taking a test while the teacher and the students went out into the hall for some reason. I was the only one in the room. I handed in my paper/test and went to grab my stuff but i slipped and hit my head on the desk and died. I immediately became a ghost. At first the teacher couldnt see me. Then i wrote on his paper to get his attention and asked him to help me come back. He said he would try to help and then i suddenly appeared to him. Apparently I could only be seen by those I cared about who cared about me. And they didnt know i was dead. But if i told them/if they found out, i would fade away forever. So i kept it from them, although i started to enjoy being invisible to some, i found it fun. Can anyone explain...? haha

Answer 1

To dream that you are in a classroom, symbolizes that you may be learning an important life lesson.
To see your teacher (past or present) in your dream, suggests that you are seeking some advice, guidance, or knowledge. You are heading into a new path in life and ready to learn by example or from a past experience. Consider your own personal experiences with that particular teacher. What subject was taught? Alternatively, it may relate to issues with authority and seeking approval. You may going through a situation in your waking life where you feel that you are being treated like a student or in which you feel you are being put to a test.
To dream that you are taking a test/exam, signifies insecurities, fear of not meeting others' expectations, and fear of failure.
To dream that you die in your dream, symbolizes inner changes, transformation, self-discovery and positive development that is happening within you or in your life. Although such a dreams may bring about feelings of fear and anxiety, it is no cause for alarm and is often considered a positive symbol. Dreams of experiencing your own death usually mean that big changes are ahead for you. You are moving on to new beginnings and leaving the past behind. These changes do not necessarily imply a negative turn of events. Metaphorically, dying can be seen as an end or a termination to your old ways and habits. So, dying does not always mean a physical death, but an ending of something. On a negative note, to dream that you die may represent involvement in deeply painful relationships or unhealthy, destructive behaviours. You may feeling depressed or feel strangled by a situation or person in your waking life. Perhaps your mind is preoccupied with someone who is terminally ill or dying. Alternatively, you may be trying to get out of some obligation, responsibility or other situation.
To see a phantom(ie.ghost) in your dream, represents guilt, fear, and/or repressed memories. Your dream is serving as a medium for you to face your fears and thus it is important to pay attention to what message the phantom is trying to convey.

Answer 2

Dreams are a way for your sub-conscience to process information not processed during waking hours. The brain "sees" many events that we ignore, the person that was standing on the corner when we drove by, the TV show that was on as we walked past and ignored, etc. The information must be processed and saved in our memories, but during waking hours too much processing is going on, we need all of our processing while driving a car for example. Science cannot find any connection to dreams and "meanings".

"Ghost
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 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. "
