Dreaming of a shaman: What It Means

Dreaming of a late grandparent or older relative is often read as a message or a moment of connection with family history. Many traditions see their expression and words as setting the tone of the dream, while psychologists see it as roots, memory and longing.

Praying in a dream is generally a hopeful image, tied to earnest wishes, inner calm and the sense of being supported. The more sincere and peaceful the moment, the more positive the reading.

Ghost dreams feel scary, but they're usually a picture of an anxiety or fear that has taken a shape. Some traditions see driving the ghost away as a very positive sign.

Dreaming of an ex usually reflects lingering feelings, unfinished emotions or a memory of who you were then. It doesn't necessarily mean you want or will get back together.

Dreaming of a favorite celebrity usually reflects a wish for attention, recognition or admiration. A bright, happy mood is generally read as a positive sign.

A friend in a dream often acts as a mirror for your bond with them or your own state of mind. A warm reunion can signal good news, while an argument is often read as the relationship clearing the air.
