Spirit
A presence beyond the seen
What it often means
A spirit in a dream is presence without body — guidance, a visitation, or the felt sense of something watching over or reaching toward you. Unlike a ghost bound to unfinished business, a spirit often carries a message or a blessing. How it makes you feel — comforted or uneasy — is the clue to what it brings.
When it tends to appear
- When you sense guidance or presence beyond the visible
- During grief, prayer, or spiritual searching
- When a message seems to come from beyond the ordinary

- 3
Where do you sense guidance you cannot quite explain?
