Tony Crisp Interpretation:
Robert Van de Castle points out that in his work with people, whenever he has helped them investigate a ghost dream, it has always led back to the childhood experience of a parent coming to the bedroom and lifting them or moving them to prevent bedwetting. He says the ghost is invariably the mother, and the robber figure is the father. Some people believe the living can haunt a place while they sleep. This is possible, because a living person may experience an OBE and be seen as a ghost by someone in the area of the experience. Seeing a ghost while awake can still be considered as connected with the dream process. See .
