Shadows in dreams?

Question

The dream I had last night is bugging me. It was a nightmare, had me up half the night, re-doing this dream over and over, I sweat all night long it was than intense.

I kept dreaming about shadow people, male to be exact. The first one, I was laying in bed, exactly as I really was, and saw a shadow beside my bed. It had a male voice, he was leaning over me & talking to me; I don't recall what exactly he said, but the general vibe was taunting/teasing.

But in the dream, I woke up and go out of bed and went into the living room, where my oldest son and his friend were playing with these 2 puppies and a kitten on the floor.

Another dream a bit later on echoed this same feeling--I saw a wall, covered in redish/white wallpaer, and there was a shadow man poking fun at me, teasing me for being afraid of him. Like the two shadow men were ghosts.

I am currently afraid of ghosts, but more b/c it represents something to me (I currently suffer PTSD, the spirits are a trigger).

Any insights would be greatful. I've looked up the different dream symbols, but unfortunately when it comes to my own dreams, I tend to lack the ability to put everything together. IE: I can never seem to figure them out, which is weird, b/c I'm pretty decent at helping others figure out their dreams.

Thank you!! :) Happy 1st of November. :)

Seeing a shadow represents your present uncertain situation. Seeing shadows as objects, you are worrying for no reason, the danger you see exists only in your imagination. But if the shadow was beside you, your trying to detach yourself from the negative side of life, the troubles and grief of your dream. Seeing your son and his friend with the gentle little animals means your troubles will be short lived and will go away. Be patient and try not to think about your dreams especially at night.xx
