Let’s imagine for a moment that your dream is a play set on a stage. You, as a ghost, represent a part of yourself that feels unseen or unheard. This could reflect feelings in your waking life where you might feel overlooked or as if your voice isn’t being heard. The setting in your grandparent’s house is also significant. Homes in dreams often symbolize our mind or our inner self. Returning to your grandparent’s house could suggest a connection to your past, your heritage, or lessons learned from older generations.

Now, the nuns in the coffin are a particularly intriguing element. Nuns often represent spiritual authority, devotion, or moral values. Seeing them alive in a coffin could symbolize aspects of your own beliefs or values that you thought were dormant or ‘dead’ but are still very much ‘alive’ within you. The dual presence of life and death in this symbol might be reflecting a conflict between old beliefs and new understandings in your life.

Your interaction with your grandfather is a poignant moment in this dream play. Your grandfather, who can’t see you, might symbolize parts of your life or aspects of yourself that you feel disconnected from. His inability to see you, despite your desperate attempts to get his attention, could mirror a feeling of helplessness or frustration in trying to connect with certain aspects of your heritage or past.

The ankh cross given to you by your grandfather is a powerful symbol. In many cultures, the ankh represents life, eternal life, or rebirth. This could be interpreted as a message from your subconscious, suggesting that you have the power to overcome challenges or to bring new life to aspects of yourself that you thought were gone.

The confrontation with the grim reaper, a universal symbol of death and the inevitable, is quite dramatic. In chasing and attacking the grim reaper, you’re actively confronting your fears or anxieties. The grim reaper’s action of calling your name and kicking you in the back could represent unexpected challenges or setbacks that catch you off guard in your waking life.

Your dream, woven together with symbols of the past, spiritual questioning, and confronting fears, suggests a journey of self-discovery and reflection. Perhaps, in your waking life, you’re being called to revisit your roots, to reassess old beliefs, and to confront fears or challenges with the strength and resilience symbolized by the ankh cross.

Your dream, in which you were given an Ankh but devoid of its usual color and light, is a fascinating and symbolic vision. The Ankh is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol often known as the “key of life” or “cross of life”, representing life and immortality. However, the absence of color and light in your dream’s Ankh adds a unique layer of interpretation.

In this dream, the Ankh, traditionally a vibrant and powerful symbol of life and vitality, appearing colorless and without its characteristic light, could symbolize a feeling of life or vitality that feels lacking or diminished in some way in your waking life. It’s like having a key, the Ankh in this case, but finding that it doesn’t open the doors you expected, or it opens them differently than you anticipated.

Being given this colorless Ankh might represent a phase in your life where you are searching for meaning, purpose, or a sense of vitality. The lack of color and light in the Ankh suggests that while you are on a path or have the tools for a meaningful life (as the Ankh traditionally symbolizes), there might be something essential missing or unclear in this pursuit. This dream could be inviting you to reflect on what gives your life color and light. It’s asking you to consider what aspects of your life need more vibrancy or a renewed sense of purpose. Maybe there are passions, relationships, or goals in your life that have lost their color and need reinvigorating.

I had a dream too where I was given an ankh but without the color and all the light…how did it go
