I've seen ghosts in my dreams- images of people from my past, now
seen in some blurred form, not quite as I saw them then. Maybe the
dream is closer to the reality of the soul of the person than what I
saw, now that it is less hampered by the physical presence and other
distractions. This is assuming my mind can filter it's way closer to,
rather than further from, the 'truth'. Besides dreams, waking
memories are the other realm of ghosts, I think. This is brought
closest to the surface when I have returned to places from my past.
It makes the memories have so much more impact, to be back there.
Maybe this is the haunting effect? But the person whose presence
seems near need not be dead to haunt the place.
