Whitney,
My experience is in dream analysis. Your problems are from using psychedelic mushrooms which can cause the sensory issues you listed {altered thinking processes, closed and open-eye visuals and Synesthesia. Of course there could be {and likely are} underlying emotional issues {what dreams are about} that cause you to use drugs. Your relationship with your bf would add to the issues since he too has issues of his own and could be taking those out on you. Being chased by ghosts is a common dream action but could be projected through drug use. A possible meaning in dreams of ghosts chasing you would symbolize aspects of yourself that you fear, painful memory, guilt, or repressed thoughts {involving painful experiences earlier in life you do not want to remember}. The mushrooms could cause you to visualize these 'ghosts' since they can trigger unconscious sensors just as dreams do.

As for your dream. My sense is you have issues involving feelings of lack of security in your early life/childhood and projecting those onto others in the present {your bf being a good candidate}. If you go bad to your childhood and look at your family, parents and life in general there are probably issues with a bad home life and possible psychological or/and physical abuse. You could be projecting issues involving these insecurities onto your bf {a usual experience when you need someone to help you feel secure later in life}. Painful memories would be the ghosts that are chasing you {and the insecurities related to them}. Using drugs and bad relationships would be a substitute for what was not received as a child. These are psychological issues that would need therapy to resolve. But first you must stop talking drugs as a crutch and get away from relationships that would continue to cause damage to you emotionally.

Here is how I interpreted the images/actions from your dream {I provide these with most dreams I analyze}. To better understand dreams and how they function I suggest you read my page A Simple Guide to Dreams.

-woods-a symbol for the unconscious
-grandparents-a need for security and protection/experiences related to real grandparents
-chased by ghosts-aspects of yourself that you fear, painful memories, guilt feelings, or/and repressed thoughts {involving painful experiences earlier in life you do not want to remember}. Being chased can represent being chases by your insecurities.
-through the woods-past experiences stored within the unconscious
- huge house-the house is you, your emotional self. A huge house would represent strong emotions/emotional energies
-ghost in a jar-painful emotional experiences that you let out/project out onto others {your bf may be someone you project your insecurities onto in hopes he will help resolve them}
-thought is was good/turned out to be evil-the problem of projecting your insecurities onto others {caused by earlier bad experiences}
-wedding at house/no one really there-represents negative emotions related to commitment {past experiences where commitments were unfilled and possible projection of those onto others later in life-no one was there for you early in life and no one is there now in your present relationships}.
