Ever seen a ghost in your dreams? Mine soared across the sky over a silent road—and I still feel the chill.

The Scene of the Dream
The road was empty—completely devoid of life. No streetlights, no passing cars. Just a faint silver glow from the moon casting long shadows across the asphalt. I could hear the wind whispering through invisible trees, and the chill in the air wrapped around my spine like a wet blanket. It was the kind of silence that makes your heartbeat sound deafening. That was the setting: a deserted road somewhere out of place and time, hanging between reality and dream.
How the Ghost Appeared
It wasn’t just any ghost. This one had presence—a shimmering aura that floated inches above the road, wings like fog, and eyes that glowed faintly violet. I didn’t hear it come, I just looked up and there it was, gliding in slow arcs above me like it was watching… or waiting.
| Ghost Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Wings | Fog-like, trailing light sparkles |
| Eyes | Glowing violet, gentle but piercing |
| Sound | Utter silence, only wind responded |
My Feelings in the Dream
Dreams are weird, right? But this one was intense. I didn’t just observe—I felt every second like it was happening to me. There was fear, sure. But there was also a sense of wonder and—strangely—peace. Here's what stood out emotionally:
- Startled and confused as I noticed the ghost
- A cold wave of fear running through my chest
- Curiosity about the ghost’s purpose and message
- A mysterious calm by the time it vanished
Interpreting the Dream
Dream interpreters often say that flying ghosts symbolize a message from the beyond—or even from within. I started wondering: was this a reflection of unresolved grief? A hidden desire for freedom? Or maybe it was simply my brain’s way of processing silence, space, and isolation. Dreams, after all, speak their own language—fluid, emotional, and often contradictory.
Others’ Stories: Similar Experiences
Curious, I browsed some dream forums and found I'm not alone. Ghosts flying or floating in dreamscapes appear often—and each time, the dreamer feels something deeply personal.

Waking Up and What It Meant
When I woke up, the first thing I did was sit still. It was like I didn’t want to lose the echo of that dream. Here's what I took away from it:
- Not all ghosts are scary—some might be guides.
- Emotions in dreams matter more than the visuals.
- Silence in dreams can be powerful, not empty.
- Maybe, sometimes, we’re the ghost in someone else's dream.
Yes, many believe they symbolize repressed emotions or messages from the subconscious.
That could mean it represents guidance, wisdom, or even part of yourself you're rediscovering.
Because your brain uses the same emotional and sensory circuits while dreaming as when awake.
Absolutely! It's a great way to reflect, remember, and even spark creativity or healing.
Not very common, but when they do appear, they often imply spiritual transition or freedom.
With lucid dreaming practice, yes. It takes time but some people learn to influence their dreams.
Dreams like this remind us that there's more going on inside us than we often admit. Whether the ghost was real or just a fragment of my imagination, it left a mark. If you've ever had a dream that felt larger than life—don’t ignore it. Write it, share it, reflect on it. You might discover something hidden about yourself.
