Призрак
Нечто из прошлого, что ещё не отпущено полностью.
A ghost in a dream is the dictionary's image of something from the past that has not been fully released. The ghost is rarely a literal supernatural figure; it is usually a piece of unresolved history walking around in present-tense form.
Most dreams of ghosts end on speaking with the ghost — not exorcising it. The dictionary tends to favour acknowledgement over banishment.
Where you often see it. A figure in a familiar room who should not be there. Someone you know is dead, present without comment. A presence felt rather than seen. The dream uses the ghost for something from the past that has not been fully released.
What it is not. The dream's ghost is rarely the literal departed. It is the unfinished business with what they represented in your life.
