There is no special significance to dreaming about one's father apart from the content and feeling of the dream. No interpretation is possible without knowing what one is doing for, to or with the father.
It depends on why your are dreaming about your dad. If he has passed, that could be a reason. If he left you and your mother, that could be a reason. If he lives far, far away, that could be a reason, if he's mad at one of you (you or your mom) that could be a reason, if they're mad at one enother, etc.
It could mean many things. However, the most likely reasons are that you:
1) View that person as a paternal figure in your life.
2) Think that person resembles your Father in many ways, therefore you envision him to be your father without realising it.
3) View that person as responsible and are probably very close to him/her.
This dream could be expressing your feelings toward your father. Note that the dream is not presenting images of reality but only your own perception of the relationship. Alternatively, your father in the dream might symbolize some other authority figure such as a teacher, supervisor or even the government. In all of these possibilities, the basic message remain the same: you feel ill-treated.
This dream illustrates the dreamer's feeling violated by somebody who should be protecting her/him.
don't worry my dad doesn't abuse me.
you miss your Dad
The dream means that at some level of your consciousness you realize that your dad is growing old. Your own mind might be showing you that your dad has more health problems that he is willing to admit to you, or that you are willing to recognize.
Let's just say that's not a good thing
Dad's Weird Dream was created on 2006-09-11.
This dream suggests that the dreamer has not finished grieving over the loss of the father. It is not unusual for grief to persist for many years.
This question is not clear as to whether the dream is about the kid's dad or stepdad. But it might help to understand that your dreams are about your own emotions, including your fears and self-doubts. Dreams do not provide any supernatural insight into parentage or family history.
Without further information, it is difficult to suggest any interpretation. It would make a difference what your dad and the ghost are doing; for example, a dream of your dad fighting a ghost would have a different meaning from a dream where he is just standing around with a ghost hanging nearby... or dancing... or singing... or whatever. The emotions you experience during the dream are also important and make the difference between a nonsensical dream and a terrifying nightmare.
Your dream is a literal illustration of the idea of giving your love to your dad, suggesting the hope that your love/heart could restore him to life. The actual meaning of the dream depends on whether or not your dad is living now. It could mean that he is dead in the sense of being unable to express his feelings, and by giving him your own heart, you hope to stir some emotional response in him.
It means you had a dream. The guy's your ex- for a reason, and no dream is going to change any of that. Even if there were some supernatural reason for this dream (which I think is an utter load of nonsense, but I'll play along), what guarantee is there that your ex's dad is right? None. Whatsoever.
That your mom and dad are too cheap to buy you a dog.... keep dreaming youll be happier!
