Dreaming of a Ghost Reflected in Water - dream meaning with inherited lore
A ghost reflected in water may be interpreted as a scene of looking into emotions you have not shown outwardly or feelings you cannot clearly see in yourself.
As you look at a river, pond, or bathtub, the ghost’s image appears underwater or on the surface. When you look up, no one is there, but when you look back at the water, it appears again.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a ghost reflected in water has sometimes been seen as a scene revealing hidden emotions or something not yet brought to light. If the water was clear and still, it has sometimes been interpreted as a process of checking in with and sorting through your feelings. (In folk dream interpretations, water is often read as a symbol of emotions and the flow of life, while a reflected image represents hidden aspects or the inner self.)
Through the mind: You may have this dream if there is an emotion you usually brush aside as fine, but that comes back when you are alone. The unfamiliar ghost's face may also have symbolized anxiety or exhaustion within you.
