What Does It Mean?
In Vedic dream interpretation, ghosts represent unresolved ancestral karma (pitru dosha) or trapped negative energies in your surroundings
A ghost chasing you in a dream signals unresolved fear, guilt, or an old situation demanding resolution before you can move forward
If the ghost appears as a familiar person (deceased relative), it is often a message from that soul seeking prayers, tarpan, or resolution of unfulfilled wishes
Talking calmly with a ghost in a dream is actually protective — it means you have the spiritual strength to face and dissolve the negative energy
