Spirit Spirits
To see a spirit, a disembodied personality, in a dream may symbolise thoughts or feelings on death, but very often it shows a past memory or experience that still haunts you, perhaps because it has never been fully felt. This full experience of it is a sort of exorcism, banishing the ghost.
The spirit in your dream may be a contact with the dead, or those about to be born. In some cases, the spirit comes to the parents and asks them to form a body for it as it wishes to incarnate, and they could provide a suitable body and family environment.

I dream vividly and remember most of them. They vary from problem solving, spiritual and at times sexual. Is the subconscious a processor of information that we give it?
Fiona – An interesting question.
I feel it is a two way process as far as I can understand it. You see every cell in the body is a living creature, although separated they cannot achieve much. Also they are all trying to survive, and survival means problem solving. So problem solving is a part of our very deepest self – our core self. But it is not simply problem solving, but our being also wants to flourish, and that is a very big subject.
So from our core comes the desire to survive and flourish, and we have a new level of experience called self or self awareness. Unfortunately that often gets itself into a situation of conflict with the very core processes. But if it learns to be in harmony, then wonderful things can happen. Because we can give it useful and clear feedback. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/conditioned-reflexes-or-responses/
