I have had this same dream numerous times with a few differences but the main points are always the same. I am in this older three story house with many different rooms, sometimes people I know are with me and sometimes I am alone. The houses rooms are all quite comfortable and normal, sometimes with furniture and people and sometimes empty with the exception of one room hidden in the center of the house at the top of a hidden staircase. In this bedroom there are no windows and everything in victorian styled with lots of lace and an old feel to it. Once inside the room there is a ghost of a victorian dressed woman sometimes visible sometimes not but I can feel her like the most heartbroken angry feeling comes over me from her. I am always alone in this room. The ghost woman does not want me in this room but I am always drawn to go in there.

I definately think this ghost your dreaming of is real. Next time you see her, ask her why you are there and why she is there.

I would interpret this dream in this way.

The house is a symbolic representation of yourself, and the different rooms are reflections of the many different facets of yourself.  Most of these rooms are normal, but there is something that you have tucked away, hidden away from the outside world, ie repressed (no windows to the outside world).  The ghost is a ghost of your past (Victorian decor is that of the past), an emotional complex triggered by an event that made you feel angry and heartbroken as the ghost.  The ghost not wanting you there is actually most likely a symbol of you not wanting to deal with that issue.

You have bottled these emotions up, its not healthy.  Look to your past, is there some standout event that produced a strong heartbroken emotion?  If you can identify it, you need to let go of that emotion.  I have a couple of ideas if you want help with that.

Sweet dreams,

That makes sense, I am not fond of victorian type style but my mother is very fond of it. My childhood was a very heartbreaking time of my life caused by my mother's mental state. Maybe the woman is symbolic of her or the feelings she has caused or the emotions she has. I don't hate her and am a very emotionally health adult now. Maybe it is something to do with that part of my life that I have neglected to face.Thank you very much Rook for your insight.

As far as it being a real ghost, next time I have the dream I will investigate. I am not one to believe in ghosts really but I will keep my mind open and see what happens.This dream haunts me on many occasions.
