A Ghost in My School: The Dream That Shook My Morning
Ever had a dream so vivid you woke up checking if it was real? Let me tell you about the ghost that visited my school…

When the Dream Began
It all started in my school hallway. The usual chatter was gone, replaced by an eerie silence. I looked around—everything looked the same, yet felt... off. My classroom door was open, which was odd because we always keep it closed until the teacher arrives. Curiosity (or maybe dream logic) pulled me in. The fluorescent lights flickered faintly overhead. That's when I saw the chalkboard—it had something written on it in red, like it was scratched in. "Do not wake me." I remember freezing. That’s when I realized this dream was about to take a turn.
The Ghost Appears in Class
Class had already started somehow—I didn't remember anyone coming in, but suddenly, my teacher and classmates were there. Except one seat was occupied by someone none of us recognized. She was pale, her hair damp, wearing an old school uniform that clearly wasn’t from this decade. No one spoke to her. No one even acknowledged her. I tried pointing her out, but nobody reacted. I started jotting notes to a friend sitting beside me.
| Observed Details | My Reaction |
|---|---|
| Unidentified girl in uniform | Felt confused and anxious |
| Red writing on chalkboard | Thought it was a prank |
| Flickering lights | Got goosebumps immediately |
Strange Signs Around the School
After class, things spiraled. The halls started to change—lockers were slightly ajar, papers floated around with no breeze, and that red message appeared on more walls. Every turn I took, I felt like someone was watching me. But there was no one. Or rather, no one I could see. These were the signs I started noticing:
- Every clock in the school stopped at 3:17 PM
- Chalk dust in the shape of a spiral on every blackboard
- The intercom playing static—then whispering my name
- My reflection in a hallway mirror didn’t move when I did
How My Friend Reacted
So here's where it gets even weirder. I thought I was alone in this strange experience, but then I noticed my best friend acting strangely. He kept looking behind him, like he could feel someone following us. At one point, he grabbed my arm and whispered, “You see her too, right?” Finally, someone else acknowledged the ghost! It was a short-lived relief though, because the moment he said it, the lights went out in the hallway. He disappeared. Just like that. I yelled his name, but it just echoed back. That's when panic really set in.
What Did the Symbol Mean?
That spiral—everywhere I looked, that strange chalk spiral appeared. It felt like it meant something, like a message or a warning. I found a dusty book in the library’s forbidden section (because of course I did, dream logic). It had symbols, translations, and ghost lore. Here's what I found in that mysterious dream tome:
| Symbol | Meaning | Associated Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Spiral with dot center | Spirit trapped in memory | Recurring nightmares |
| Inverted triangle | Portal to past | Hallucinations |
| Circle within a square | Unfinished soul cycle | Emotional distress |
Waking Up and Wondering
I woke up with a jolt. My heart pounding, my sheets damp from sweat. And yet... the details stuck with me. Unlike most dreams that fade, this one clung to my memory like static. As I sat there, trying to calm down, I couldn't shake the feeling that I needed to do something. Maybe it was just a dream, but maybe it wasn’t just any dream. Here’s what I’ve been wondering since:
- Was the girl someone who once existed?
- Why did my friend disappear the moment he acknowledged her?
- Is there really such a thing as a shared dream experience?
- Should I go back to the school library and check that book corner?
Yes, especially among students under stress. It's a symbolic manifestation of unresolved fears or anxieties.
While dreams stem from our subconscious, many cultures believe they can serve as portals or messages from the beyond.
Spirals often represent cycles, trapped energy, or unresolved events trying to be released or understood.
Yes, it's called "serial dreaming." Your brain might pick up where it left off, especially if the emotion or mystery is unresolved.
High-emotion dreams often embed themselves deeper in memory. Fear especially enhances dream recall.
Not necessarily, but it might help to reflect on what the ghosts could represent emotionally or psychologically in your waking life.
Dreams have a funny way of digging into our fears and memories—and sometimes, even our curiosity about the supernatural. Writing this post was a little therapeutic, to be honest. Maybe I just needed to get it out there. If you’ve ever had a creepy dream like mine, drop a comment and let’s compare notes. Who knows, maybe our dreams are trying to tell us something together. 👻✨
