Sylvia,
This was your son's dream, not yours. If it were your dream then I would have looked at it differently knowing the circumstances to do with your marriage {your dreams would be trying to help you resolve the emotional conflicts}. Your son's dreams would not be warning you, they would be reflecting his emotions {although his age has a lot to do with to what extent}. Haunted houses could have to do with guilt, issues that haunt the dreamer {the house is the dreamer}. In that case any guilt feelings would be his. It is common for children to feel they are to blame for conflicts in their lives, even the breakup of a marriage. If it were your dream it could have the same application. Your son's dream reflects his feelings. Your being in his dream would represent your actual presence in his life. Thinking this is a warning from him about dangers to do with you is very unlikely. It may be you are searching for answers for issues to do with your marriage but this path is in the wrong direction. You should take the dream as a reflection of your son's psychological mind and worry about. Assuring him he is not to blame for the breakup is the important thing.

As for the ghosts. A child has a vast imagination and his developing mind will conger up images that are childish and have little meaning even though the ghosts could be a developing recognition of the emotional conflicts in life. His dreams are about his life and although he could have fears about you, they would have to do with what he has witnessed from past experiences, not a prediction of what is to come. I wouldn't be looking for interpretations to fit what you believe it to mean. Instead I would focus on your son's mental health because of the martial conflicts. His dreams are reflecting his psychology, nothing more.

As for an interpretation of what you provided from the dream. You are present in the dream because you are a important part of his life and both of you are experiencing emotional conflicts. The fair represents what should be his outlook on life, simple and fun. But that life is being abandoned due to the marital conflicts. He may feel guilt because his usual involvement in family life is not working, he is empty inside, his not alive as a child should be {this may be reflected in his everyday actions, instead of being the playful boy he would normally be there may be periods where the family issues make him depressed and not his usual self}. He is haunted by what HE HAS EXPERIENCED, the conflicts with your husband {has there been verbal or/and physical actions?}. His usual simple care free life {fair} is haunted by what he has witnessed. He feels dead inside because of this. Ghosts are emotional issues that haunt a person. He can't see the ghosts because they are 'inner' ghosts, within him, psychological. As for the blood and robot, it is a better possibility that is from his childhood imagination.

Nothing in the dream points to anything other than the conflicts he feels about the conflicts between you and your husband. Not a hard dream to understand.
