Being attacked by a ghost is a dream where the brain processes an aggressive impulse stemming from unresolved matters of the past. This mechanism functions to bring an old, unsettled situation into the present consciousness so that it may finally be addressed.
An encounter with this lingering presence brings a sudden and unearned weight to the current moment. This tension is a sign that the mind is working through something that was left open.
The presence of such an impulse is a signal that the period of avoidance is reaching its limit. The dreamer finds themselves in a position where the old matter can no longer be ignored. This process allows for the eventual integration of what was once left behind.
The dream of being hunted by a ghost suggests that the mind perceives a fundamental risk to one’s peace, as if an old, unresolved problem is actively chasing the dreamer’s sense of stability.
A ghost attack or being haunted by a ghost indicates that an unfinished matter from the past is making a sudden or repeated demand for recognition.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
