Spirits
To dream of spirits represents feelings about spirit of character or strength of character. The spirit of morality. The spirit of purpose. The essence of who someone was. Feeling that someone can't be with you physically needing to trust you. A memory or wisdom that lingers with you. A state of mind that needs to do the best you can do to resist something difficult, controlling, or negative. Ideal to live up to because you are on your own.
Negatively, dreaming of a spirit may reflect feelings of lost relationships or relationships that aren't as perfect as they used to be. Memories or issues that are lingering from the past. It may also reflect memories of people from your past. Something good that feels like it doesn't matter anymore.
To dream of being a spirit may reflect feelings about yourself not being physically important to someone else. Parents having feelings about children not needing them anymore physically in their lives. Feeling that you need to trust people to remember your advice or believe in you without being physically involved.
Negatively, dreaming about yourself as a spirit represents feelings about yourself not mattering or not being as important as you used to feel. Not feeling physically relevant or not having any sense of importance when it comes to "presence."
To dream of evil spirits represents negative experiences or issues from your past that are unresolved. Bad memories that linger. Feeling the need to resist something negative that wants to get you back. Sensing something is wrong in a situation.
To dream of spirits of dead relatives or friends may represent your feelings about their death. It may also reflect your intuition or foresight about impending death. A memory or haunting reminder. Feeling that the "spirit" or personality of someone who has passed survives with you in some way.
Dreaming of a dead loved one may possibly have no connection to their death at all and simply reflect an aspect of your personality based on the memories or feelings that stand out the most about them. For example, if a person dreams of their dead father it may simply reflect an issue they have with their conscience or decision they made.
Example: A woman dreamed of seeing the spirit of her 14 year-old daughter moving towards her. In waking life she felt that her relationship with her daughter was permanently changed because she had moved in with her grandmother and only came over to ask for money. The spirit coming towards her may have reflected her feelings about her daughter not caring about her anymore or feeling emotional traces of who her daughter used to be as she now only visited to get money.
Example 2: A woman dreamed of herself in spirit form along with seeing evil spirits. In waking life she felt that her marriage was over because her husband was too controlling and was conflicted about whether or not to remain in the relationship. The spirits in this case may have reflected her feelings about the "spirit of the marriage" remaining without any real psychological, emotional, or physical substance.
