👻A ghost

In the traditional reading

A ghost was read as something unresolved or a place to be careful. Driving it away meant warding off misfortune; being seized meant something not yet let go.

From dream research

Content research attaches no entity here. A sensed presence at the edge of falling asleep or waking is generally explained as part of the sensory experience that accompanies sleep paralysis.

Scene by scene, as it was handed down

• You drive the ghost away — Taken as a stuck matter loosening.
• The ghost seizes you — Read as something still unfinished.
• The ghost speaks to you — Seen as words you need to hear.
