Young child dreams of ghost?

Question

My 2 yr old wakes up and tells me that Mary was chasing her in her dream and then says to herself "don't worry it wasn't a ghost it was just make believe". I thought she was referring to Mary Jesus mother until my husband reminded me that the woman that lived in the house before us was MaryJane. She passed away not even a yr before we moved in. This is freaking me out and would like some feedback and insight from others in interpreting this dream.

Answer 1

You may not like my answer because you are already freaked, but please read the whole thing. I absolutely believe in ghosts because I have seen many of them, and mostly when I was younger (quite often.) Children are much more susceptable to ghosts and the supernatural than adults are. And there's nothing you can do to prevent it. She's been given a gift whether you like it or not.

Fortunately children don't tend to get freaked out or bothered the way an adult would. It's not unusual that children keep quiet about it too. (Partially because they are confused about what's going on, or they feel they have a special friend that they don't want to share.)

MaryJane might well be trying to have relationship with your daughter, but it does not appear she is attempting to hurt her.

Here's what I would do, and I do think it's the best thing you can do about it. Talk to your daughter about Mary, let her know it is okay to talk about it...and simply listen. Ask but don't pry too much. (You don't want to make her feel like she is in trouble.) Watch her emotional reactions......because this is what's most important. Is she ok with this? Is she scared? confused? Make sure she is ok mentally, and do what you need to do as a parent to calmly comfort her. (Your husband might do this better if you are totally freaked out by it?) Let her know that you are aware Mary visits sometimes, and she won't hurt anyone. (Tell her Mary is nice.) Invite her to talk about when she has visits with Mary, so that she will be open with you and so that you know how your daughter is doing when this happens.

BUT because this was a dream, it might remain as only dreams. And your daughter may not remember everything, just make sure she is ok when she wakes up, and let her talk about it. Talking about it, and a hug from you is all she will probably need.

Most people probably think I'm full of crap and want to throw rocks at my head for this. I'm just speaking from my own experience and I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. Believe whatever you want. But bottom line as a parent....ghost or no ghost....in this situation you do whatever you have to do to make your child feel comfortable and safe.

Answer 2

I can feel your concern as you are a worried mother. The first thing you have to do is accept the fact, that a ghost is in the house. I am sorry but this is the inevitable truth. It seem like our 2 yr old is not worried or threatened by this supernatual phenomenon. I suggest that you attempt to get rid of the ghost as soon as possible, and there are certain rationale for my reasoning. First of all i believe that if the relationship or bonding with the ghost and your child grows strong, the ghost (maryjane) will probably et violnt when anyone else tries to remove your child from the house or in rare circumstances even threaten your family if anyone enters the room.

There are certain things you can do to get rid of this ghost. First you must speak to a religeous advisor and follow your own religeous methods of getting rid of the ghost. Here are some other steps that i would try.

Read scriptures aloud in the affected room(s). This has often been reported to eliminate lingering spirits. Muslims will sometimes leave a tape of Qu'ranic readings running on a continuous loop for several days or until the spirit departs. Christians may read from the Christian Bible. Jews can utilize readings from the Psalms or special sections of the Kabbalah and Zohar to dispel hauntings. Followers of Indian traditions read Bhagavad gita, Bhagavata Purana, chant Nrsimha Kavaca and names of God in general. They arrange for a puja (worship) on behalf of spirits. Much related information is given in Garuda Purana. Other religions have specific sacred readings they may choose to use.

Research the history of your house. Was there a sudden or violent death there that remains unsolved? Did someone die suddenly leaving a family behind? Were there stories of something left behind? A debt? A treasure? A wrong uncorrected?

If you find unfinished business, is there some way you can help? Can you encourage the local police to reopen the case if there was a murder in the recent past? Or can you interest area historians in helping to research tragedies long past? Is there a debt that can be settled, or a name cleared? If so, work toward completing the unfinished business.

Locate the burial site for persons who died in the home. Is the grave cared for, legible, free from debris and damage? If not, can you remedy the situation with a clean up, repair or even a new marker?

If you would like to eliminate the spirit without working through past issues, or if you cannot find the reasons, many people report success with a three step process:
Clean the home completely. Wash windows, eliminate clutter, bring lights into dim areas, wash floors and linens.
Get a small silver bell and a white candle. Walk through the house, making sure to go to each corner of each room, carrying the lit candle. Ring the bell in each corner of each room. Repeat the process walking around the exterior of the house, again ringing the bell at each corner.
Line the sill of each window and door with a thin line of sea salt (available in most supermarkets now.)
If the haunting persists, call in a professional to remove the spirits. Catholic Church has one priest in each diocese who specializes in exorcism.

You may want to try to hear EVP or Electronic Voice Phenomena. Take a brand new tape and a good voice recorder and record yourself trying to contact the ghost. Afterwords, listen to the tape. You may hear a very soft voice talking back.
EVP also works with a microphone hooked up to your computer. It may even work better since you can see anomalies in the sound rather then just hear them.
The most important thing is to accept the existance of the unexplained energy in a positive way.
Try to express that you believe in coexistance. This will make that energy a bit comfortable. It can be done by cordialy smiling at/for unexpected events.
These energies remain there because of some confusion and they need guidence. Extend some sympathy to them. The best way is to remind them of their family(spouse, preferably) waiting to meet them. This motivation can bring them out of the confusion and help them decide a positive action.

Ghosts generally are not dangerous. They are just stuck where they are and can't leave for some reason.
exorcism may irritate the spirit and lead to more dangerous situations, especially if the entity is not evil or from this dimension.

I can not stress enough the importance of not letting the bond grow to strong please don't. these techniques have been questioned so please use them at your own risk.

Your child is being tormented by a demonic spirit. It is not uncommon. I used to work at a child care facility and during nap time the children would suffer from nightmares and saying that the boogey man was after them. But, God showed me to pray over them and they would go back to sleep peacefully and never had the problem again. Find someone who is anointed of God to intercede on your child's behalf.

it may just be pure coinsidence, try not to get too worried.. if it happens again, contact a professional and ask about it.
