Well, Cole didn't really accept himself as a ghost. Maybe those reflected futures were of accepted futures that they could see themselves in (literally and in their minds). Or, as others have said, maybe he has no future as a ghost. His ghost form might not exist later on, so that ghost form didn't reflect a future.
