Dream Is Nothing Like a Ghost for a Platonist Philosopher

The episode was written by Apuleus, a middle-platonist philosopher. He has a very sophisticated idea about souls and what happens to you when you die. The soul is nothing like a ghost for a Platonist, it's an immaterial, passionless, eternal thing. So the visions in Dream are nothing to do with Goat's old death,. that's this point, quite a bit argument, one has to concede.
