Can ghosts visit us in dreams?

Can ghosts visit us in dreams? When we have a dream about a deceased loved one or friend, it’s easy to wish that the experience was more than just a dream. Could it be possible that a ghost can visit us in dreams? Are these interactions with the dead more than just our immigration longing for our loved ones to come back to us?

Who else has nightmares/anxiety dreams every night? I’m supposed to start counseling for it soon. It’s awful. I never get restful sleep. 

Right now I'm staring at the coffee maker again with only one eye open. If I could eat the coffee grinds right out of the bag, I would. (Why does brewing coffee take so long???) Last night I really outdid myself with the best game of bed hopping I've ever played. Except I don't want to play anymore. And now I've got to fix this mess I've created.

The youngest still thinks she needs to sleep with me in order to sleep. I've been delegated to the biggest teddy bear known to man. While I keep reminding her that she's too old for this, she told me she'd be ready to sleep on her own when she's 14. That's 9 years from now. Surely I'll be dead from lack of sleep. My husband has stepped on board to help, and isn't even pointing fingers. He's tired too. 

But last night, my oldest, the best sleeper in the house, got into the mix with the "I'm scared to sleep upstairs alone." Say what? You're scared to sleep in the room you wanted so we moved you upstairs last week and it took me all day, so now you don't want to sleep up there? I caved. But I won't tonight. I remember as a child staring at a shadow on my bedroom door convinced it was a gorilla that was going to eat me. I wanted to get out of bed, but knew I couldn't because 1. it would eat me and 2. my parents would just usher me back to bed. I stayed in my bed, covers pulled up to my eyeballs, and learned to cry myself to sleep. I hated it, but I guess it made me stronger? Or just not like gorillas.
