Have You Ever Seen A Ghost?

A question most of us may not be able to answer with 100% confidence. Whether this be because it was dark, we were half asleep or we just may not completely be sure what it was.

This includes myself, my only experience with a ghostly figure was from when i was much younger. It was the middle of the night but for some reason, my eyes were open and I was awake. I witnessed the emergence of a figure in the room, a figure resembling that of a woman but with a fine consistency whereby you could just about make out the outline of objects hiding behind her as she wandered around the room. The figure wore what seemed to be a polka dot dress, until she glanced across to me and spotted me watching her. She slowly moved over to the bed and in a gentle movement, her face came right up to my own as it gently passed through me; the figure was then never seen again.

I was strangely calm at witnessing this and easily fell back to sleep. Due to many factors, this could easily be part of a dream, or a trick of the light in an otherwise dark room. One thing is for sure though, I, like I've mentioned earlier, cannot be 100% confident on what happened and what I saw.

One thing to note however is that several years later when I was speaking to my mother about this, she also mentioned the fact that she also saw a woman in a poka dot dress when she was a child, just wandering about. More so, we had a friend of the family that had died before I was born, which always used to wear poka dot clothes.

Strange stuff, but overall I am still left skeptical on the whole aspect of ghosts.

Dreams..

Whats in a dream?

Is it just a random mixture of the things you have seen and done on that particular day or week? Is it vast memories coming together to create the most random mixture of events you could never of thought up whilst awake? Or is it something more?

My own personal opinion is that of simplicity. The brain needs rest, and while it rests it wanders and gives us dreams based upon what is happening in our lifes, and what may be topical in your mind on that particular night.

There are beliefs however that dreams can be so much more. Predictions of the future perhaps? Guidance on which path you should take in life? In this regard, certian dreams can mean particular things (for instance: running streams or falling of a cliff), symbolism plays a key role in dream interpretation. Maybe a bit far fetched in my own opinion but im open to the possibility of hidden meanings/truths.


Humans only use 10% of their brains. Are dreams just dreams or are they a chance for us to be able to access some of the other 90% of our brains we do not use when consious. The 90% we do not use may warrant physic abilities for instance, amongst many other things that we can only dream of.

Just a thought.
