This dream is a very short one…well actually there may have been more to it but this is all that I can remember.

I am at work ( I work at an Internal Medicine center) and all throughout my day I can see a young lady in a Victorian style dress just standing in a corner staring at me. Her dress is black, and she has brown hair worn in a lose but on the top of her head. I could tell that her hair is thick and wavy if she was to take her hair down. There is a small amount of white lining that peeks out from the high collar of her dress. Her face if very fair and pale,  her eyes are deep set and filled with sadness. The paleness of her skin makes her big dark eyes piercing.

I remember that I was the only on in the office that could see her, I kept asking my co-workers if they could see her but they couldn’t.  It actually seemed that I was the only one that she was focused on. She would simply float there in the corner of the room, with her eyes focused on me. She did not appear to be friendly or evil, but I could feel her sadness.

When my day was over and I was ready to go home from work I couldn’t find her, so I kept saying I can’t leave until I found out why she was so sad…then I woke up.

Symbols:

Work: To dream that you are at work indicates that you are experiencing some anxiety about a current project or task. The dream may also be telling you that you need to “get back to work”. Perhaps you have been slacking off and need to pick up the pace. Stop procrastinating. Alternatively, the dream reflects your success.

Co-Workers: To see your coworkers in your dream, highlights aspects of your waking relationship with them, including difficulties/support. It signifies your ambition, struggles and competitive nature. If the coworkers in your dream are not your actual coworkers, then they may pertain to some psychological business that you need to work on. Work-related dreams can also often be linked to stress at work.

Corner: To dream that you are in a corner signifies feelings of frustration and lack of control in making decisions. You may feel trapped and “cornered”. Alternatively, it indicates self-punishment.

Dead: To see the dead in your dream, forewarns that you are being influenced by negative people and are hanging around the wrong crowd.  You may suffer material loss. This dream may also be a way for you to resolve your feelings with those who have passed on.

Ghosts: Psychological Meaning: The shadowy ghosts of your dream represent those aspects of yourself that you fear. But it is fear itself that makes them frightening. Expose these dark pursuing forces to the light of day and you will discover that it is only your own fear that turns them into nightmares. You must realise that many different energies make up your psyche and accept them all as valid parts of yourself. Your dream may also reflect your own fears about death and dying. For Freud a ghost was a symbol of the mother.

Mystical Meaning: In most cases ghosts are representations of the dark forces within ourselves that we have not accepted. However, as a medium I have spoken to many people who claim to have really met the dead in their dreams.  In some cases, the spirit gave evidence that proved them to be the real spirits of people from the next world. Usually only spirit people that care for you can communicate in this way.

Black: Black symbolizes the unknown, the unconscious, danger, mystery, darkness, death, mourning, rejection, hate or malice. The color invites you to delve deeper in your unconscious in order to gain a better understanding of yourself. It also signifies a lack of love and lack of support. More positively, black represents potential and possibilities. It is like a clean or blank slate.

Victorian: To dream that you are in the Victorian period indicates that you are feeling sexually repressed. You feel you are unable to full express yourself. If you are wearing Victorian style clothes, then it means that you are feeling confined or restricted in some way. The dreaming mind likes to play word games and so the dream may point to someone in your life who is named “Vicky” or “Victoria”. Or it can signify victory!

Sadness: To dream that others are in despair, denotes that some friend or relative will be in great distress and find themselves in a unhappy situation.

Staring: To dream that you are staring at something or someone indicates that you need to take a much closer look at some situation or relationship. Perhaps you need to approach a situation from another perspective or viewpoint. Alternatively, staring represents your passivity. It is time to start taking action.

To dream that someone is staring at you suggests that you are hoping someone would look your way more often. It may also represent anxiety or pride.
