If you not sure about what kind of paint was used prior to your paint job( an oilbase paint or waterbasepaint)and you want to use an acrilic or latex, always use a primer paint first to prevent blissering.

You don't have to wait that long to paint over an oil-based primer. Check the label of the oil-based primer to determine recoat times. Depending on the type of primer, it could specify anywhere from one to 48 hours dry time before recoat.

It all depends on the ceiling. If it is newly installed sheetrock than it must be primed prior to painting. You should also prime before painting over any discolored or an extremely dark colored ceiling especially if you plan on painting a light or neutral color.
When painting---will oil go over water base or water base over oil?
Water and oil do not mix. You will need an excellent quality primer specifically designed for this purpose. Answer: A good rule of thumb is never say no to a primer, but once the latex paint has dried, all the water is evaporated out of it. As long as the surface is clean, you can go over latex paint with oil without using a primer. If you do want to use a primer, use an oil based primer prior to topcoat.
