Misha!
I take a less mystical approach to dream interpretation. What you dwell on/think about/are bothered by in your waking life tends to come up in your dreams. That's about it.
A couple of questions: are you religious/spiritual? Is the occult/mysticism/happy-go-lucky earth-based religions something you think about a lot?
You went into the dream already knowing that some people, such as your mother, see a black butterfly as a portent of death. So I'm seeing either:
A) You thought black butterflies were pretty, and then remembering what they might represent, had your happy-dream about pretty black butterflies ruined, or
B) You were actually worried about someone dying/getting hurt when you went into the dream, and you used the black butterfly, subconsciously, to explore your fear.
Either way, I think that when you remembered the "BB = DEATH" equation, you got freaked out. Because you were scared and thinking about death, your subconscious went "Ah! Death! Ghosts! Ghosts are scary!" and ghosts started popping up in your dream.
So, you can consider why the black butterfly showed up in your dream to begin with, but the rest of the dream, in my opinion, is just the natural progression of a nightmare. Don't worry about it overmuch.
Also, you're the only one who can interpret your dreams, in the end. If people are trying to freak you out with their religious opinions, you don't have to listen to them. And if random people on the dreamviews forum (ie: me) are way out of line, you don't have to listen to us, either.
Black does represent death and the absence of Gods Light (JESUS)
God, but people like that annoy me. Way to be helpful, right?
