Psychology
Meeting a ghost's eyes reflects the feeling that something you ignored has noticed you, or you have noticed it. Eye contact begins a relationship, so you may have entered the stage of facing what you avoided.
Folklore and history
Seeing what should not be seen echoes the "taboo of looking" found in myths and folktales. In stories like the crane wife, a bond breaks the moment the forbidden sight is seen, showing the old weight of looking and knowing.

This site's view
In this site's view, who looked away first matters. If the ghost did, your feared problem is weaker than it seems. If you did, you may not be ready yet. If its face softened as you held the gaze, your understanding is beginning to calm that memory.
Going deeper: our reading
In a dream of meeting a ghost's eyes, where it happened shows what kind of thing you are trying to face. In a hallway or your own room, something you have ignored in everyday life may be quietly asserting itself. In an old building or unknown place, it may reflect interest in things you know little about, such as your own past or your family's history. In this site's reading, the ghost's eyes matter too. Sad eyes signal that someone's loneliness, or a feeling you left behind, wants to be noticed. Calm, direct eyes need not be read as blame; they may simply be watching over you. If your fear faded after your eyes met, that is exactly why this dream is called lucky. This is our speculation, but because we look away from what truly terrifies us, holding the gaze shows a growing strength to face things.
