Lately I've been having a lot of angry ghost dreams, particularly haunted basements. It feels like the ghosts are bitter women, very vengeful and demanding to be noticed. Last night I had a dream that I am hanging out with Tom and Linda. We are at the restaurant that her family just opened and we are sitting on the stucco patio, drinking and hanging out. We all know that this ghost is here but we stubbornly ignore its presence. At one point I go inside and the doorway has shrunk in size. I have to suck it in to squeeze through. At an earlier point I was at the building site of the restaurant (and several other things); I am an engineer or something, and the construction is going well, I am hopeful about the future of the project.

Then the other night I had another aggressive ghost dream, though I don't recall the particulars at this moment.
I would wonder what exactly I am repressing, but I imagine I know already and am reluctant to address, hence the angry ghost demanding to be noticed. What kind of attention does this apparition desire? Something makes me think of abandoned potential.
