What do nightmares about demons mean

But this can provide the trigger for an odd sequence of events. REM is when we experience our most vivid dreams and during this spell, the brain sends your body into a state of complete paralysis. But when sleep goes wrong, you can actually wake up during the REM period, while your body is still paralysed.

Many people who suffer from these abnormal occurrences only experience paralysis. But because they are both awake and still in the REM stage of sleep, some will begin hallucinating with their eyes open, projecting vivid and often threatening dreams into their bedroom surroundings.

This leads to a distortion of your sense of self, and so you might have an out of body experience, or you might see various shapes appear which are actually disfigured versions of you. Trapped in this semi-wakened state, with shadowy figures filling the room, anxiety levels understandably peak.

But when this coincides with sleep paralysis, the consequences can be highly disturbing. One study from Harvard University looked at Cambodian refugees who fled the Khmer Rouge and subsequently suffered from sleep paralysis many years later. Many found themselves vividly reliving their experiences through their hallucinations. Sharpless is currently treating a group of college students whose first sleep paralysis episode occurred after experiencing the death of a grandparent.

Such fairytales act as a primer for the hallucinations. You wake up during REM sleep, you see some kind of a shadow, and you starting panicking, creating more body image hallucinations which your mind interprets in this cultural narrative and so you perceive a demon coming towards you. Myself and one of the girls just wanted to find the car and stop it and then go home. In the process of trying to find the car and discussing what happened, an officer overhead us and we felt like we needed to say we were talking about a videogame.

He said young girls like us needed to get home before sunset. While walking, we saw several unique looking cars that looked like they were gathering for a race. We questioned what this was all about and then I woke up. I have lucid dreams every single night but lately they have been super dark.

Some of the dreams I have had in the past have came true in my walking life. I had a dream last year that my grandma passed away and 5 hours later she actually did.

When I turned around and looked up, a demonic creature was on top of the stall, stretched across the opening looking at me. And then I woke up……. I think I need some help trying to interpret this dream.. I had a dream I was a teenager again living with my Mom and Step Dad and step brother and sister. The house we lived in was different I had a living room set up in one part of the house and I came home from somewhere and my Step Dad had moved the living room to a different area of the house.

I was so upset about it in my dream and walked to the part of the house where the living room used to be. I was suddenly attacked by a demon that lifted me off the ground and started to throw me around the house. I had to get out of the house for the demon to leave me alone. Soon the demon could know if I even stepped foot in the house and would immediately attack me. The funny thing about this powerful demon was I was reading about blessings from God just before I had fallen asleep that night.

It read, to be blessed you must be a peacemaker and forgive those of your past. I immediately after being awoken from the dream prayed and forgave my Step Dad from amy past issues or asked for mercy for any grief I may have caused. I feel God was helping me to forgive.

I actually believed for the longest time my Step Dad tried to poison me when I was a child. I forgive all who have trespassed against my being or soul. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen. I had several nightmare dreams in a row i woke and fell back asleep to dream the same thing in a different setting. It was pulling me and trapping me in whatever room I was in. I kept fighting it and telling it it would never take me. I also kept shouting for my father to help me and I was telling this evil that my father would save and not let this happen.

And I look at the trailer and a old lady came out and look at me. Then I turned in to a demon then walked up to the lady and I had the demonic weapon, and the old lady opened the screen door and peaked out and I tried to chop her head off with the weapon and I missed and she closed the screen door the started speaking like a a different language and she made a cross with her fingers and I got scared and started running towards my house.

I had a dream the other night that was so intense my wife actually woke me up cause I was screaming. It was am and a full moon freaked me out especially since I had a bruise where he grabbed me in my dream.

Is this just my hyper active imagination or was this real? There was a lot more that happened in my dream but this was the meat of it. What does this mean. I had a dream last night involving a demon.

I was camping with my old Girl Scout troop I am well into my twenties but we were all grown up. We were sleeping in what looked like a barn in sleeping bags. I kept trying to tell everyone there was a dark force in the barn.

No one would listen. Then when we were sleeping a demon grabbed my foot and dragged me and the sleeping bag across the floor crashing into another girl. Then the demon shows itself to everyone. Then she gets this sinister smile and starts coming for me. Then she again gets that smile and chases me into the kitchen. I spray her with holy water and then the demon leaves her body and enters my dads.

Then I woke up. But I think this was more symbolic. My sister and I have always butted heads but it has gone from sisterly bickering to a full blown hatred of each other in recent weeks. No matter how many olive branches I extend to her she is always mean always narcissistic. I have even gone as far as telling her not to talk to me. I am just completely avoiding her. I think the dream was symbolic of me missing the old days when she was pleasant sometimes and whatever is making her constantly miserable and insufferable needs to go.

I had a dream that a demon was hurting a little girl and no adults around her could see it. She was letting out these horrifying screams and it was then that I woke. Last night I had a dream that I had taken my 2 kids to an event where more children were present. Most parents were gathered in their groups talking. Being a single Dad and not knowing the other parents I was sitting on a bench alone. A kid who seemed to be just under 10 years of age walked past me singing.

I smiled and he kept walking. Then be walked back by me and was singing the same song. I told him yes so he sat beside me and starting singing another verse. I was choking and could breath. In my dream I bit down and bit his tongue into and he disappeared. I woke up crying and in a panic.

I could taste blood. I soon realized I had bitten the inside of my cheek. I lay there in a panic for a few minutes and then started to doze off. I finally went back to sleep a couple hours later. I keep having the same dream about a house, it started out as just a room and slowly turned into a house after several dreams. The first time I was maliciously attacked by an unseen entity that literally threw me around the room, shook the rooms and violently threw things around.

I never left the house but as dreams passed I found that the house has 2 stories to it. The one where I live is in is the top floor and in shambles but I am left alone. The lower half is absolutely gorgeous but if I go down there I am attacked.

I had a dream a demon lil girl tried to take my girls from me and i kept saying i abide all demons back into the pitts of hell. Right… So before i went to bed i had a couple drinks and me and my dude fought. Hi last night I had a nightmare and it was about a demon that was wearing a mask he kept killing everyone around and inside my house then I was left with my cousin only but then I already knew that he was going to kill her but later on after every one everyone else was dead.

For some unknown reason I was sitting on my bed with him he had removed his mask then u asked him if I could put my head on his shoulder , he accepted. After something like 5 seconds he received a phone call and I asked him if he was also asked to kill me. For some really unknown reason I fell in love with him then he took me to a place where the building was fully black with very big gates and bats on the roof. He later on presented me to his master.

And I really seemed to like that place. Then my friend was about to die by the dog and I started to protect her. But for some reason I was pushed aside and she was brought outside and died.

And in real life I had these neighbors who moved away and in the dream they were there. And I noticed my dog is stronger than yesterday. I had a nightmare about my old house this thing idk what it was kept dragging me deeper into darkness My the thing in my dream went from looking a demon to. Looking like my brothers wife she then told me to do Whatever she said she had a snake tongue I refused I tried to defend myself by trying to snap its neck then it bit My thumb I just woke up and theres now a mark on my thumb where it bit me and it hurts.

I just woke up from a disturbing dream. All I can remember is that I was laying in a giant bed with my mom. My mom was asleep but her eyes were open. Something was holding me in my dream. Hey well my dream was like this but a little diffrent if you can please tell me meaning I will be very happy So I was witth someone who I didnt know and he had a angel that follewd him everywere and I ask his angel that how can I have a angel like he has you and he sad you should ask the lord and then I see a angel with dark wings goining somewhere and i follower her cuz she was a girl and as I was following here she got in into a old place and that place has a circle I went in and got close to here Then she turn into a devil and I was fighting here and I win the the friend with his angel come there and the deamon sad he int what you really think in that moment the angel kill the deamon and then the angel of my friend truned into a devil to hid skin beacome black his armor black his wings black then I wake up.

I as a dream last night I was in bed talking to my cousin and mom and we were all smoking together and ordering food. I kept trying it a couple more times but I noticed there was definitely something wrong with the bathroom light. Soon after I even noticed small hint of gas and even a flame coming from the bulb so I backed out of the room but the next thing I knew the door slammed shut behind me and the light turned on.

Then I was stuck and I could feel something grab me and pick up. Immediately I started fear this entity more and more the higher it lifted me in the bathroom and the only thing I could think of was that I could die alone and nobody would hear me.

The entity grabbed my arms to silence me but my mom finally burst in and I dropped on to the floor. She saw I had bruises on my arms and asked me what happened. I keep having dreams of the same demon showing up in my dreams as family member. Twice and my dad and once as my son.

It keeps talking about coming to get me and is always with a menacing twisted grin and laughing at me. I have no idea what any of it means. She says that it will make us a happier family and shut up now just take my drink and go to the car. Then I apologize and she rolls her eyes and gets back in the car. We laugh so hard that we fall asleep on the tramp and my dad comes outside and starts mowing the lawn and yells at me, my bros already inside playing with his cars, to get inside.

When I get inside my mom yells at me that we drank the drink. I tell her we only drank half and she rolls her eyes and says whatever, colin has agreed to drink the rest when dad finishes mowing the lawn and every one will drink their drinks. I go upstairs and I read for a little bit until my mom comes charging into my room pretty fast kinda scary.

I tell her that that is not my fault and she slaps me. Then the doorbell rings and she goes oh finally i can finally stop talking to this monster. She goes to answer the door and answers it. My mom comes upstairs and gets mad at me for something a different thing every night and locks the door. In order to save her you must pass my test, try that and fail and you still want to save your mom then you will have to pay to pay the ultimate price. Same thing every night except for the parts I specified and I need to know what this means and how to make it go away and also if anyone else has super vivid dreams like this.

I just really need to know what this is about. Help please this is going to drive me crazy! I have dreamt that a demon who was killed by me he came again. I was in a family party and talking to a relative, he came into his body and tried to chase me but I ran among the group of people then he was trying to harm me and he wants to kill me.

He was also harming my family members. I was very scared because he could come into the body of any relative to kill me. Like I was carrying a faun. Me and my mum were back at our old rental house and we were walking around but it was dark. We were talking about this thing that my mum saw that scared her it was like a demon thing.

I told her she would be ok and that I would get rid of it , I noticed that there was this strange doll sitting next to my door and I wa s really scared of it. It scared me so I just told my mum it was an alarm. The demon girl who passed the doll left the doll and was just around the house doing different things tormenting me.

When I woke up I felt a lot more emotion which I normally do from my dreams they are not really ever happy but this one made my feel like my heart had been ripped out of my chest. I did not sleep the rest of the night. Last night I had a dream of being attacked by a demon. I was at an entertainment place playing arcade games. Further up I see a short old lady who is hunched. She is coming closer and closer. As soon as she is right in front of me she removes her hood and attacks with large claws.

The old hag looks extremely frightening with very long teeth. She stared at me for a couple seconds before attacking. Would you please explain to me what this means? Hi I keep haveing these dreams of being inside a house and being chase by demons and other times it be in diffrient places but same thing.

I recently dreamt that me and a group of people were walking down a street and passing train tracks. The people who were scared told me not to do it. I ignored their warnings and walked closer to her, looking her dead in the eyes. She smiled and showed her true form and probably expected me to be terrified, but I actually hugged her and she was confused.

She smiled and showed her true form and probably expected me to be terrified, but I hugged her and she was confused. She got so confused that she actually shed a tear, hugged me back and started crying completely. I had a dream about being at a lake on the dock and all of a sudden, the lake bubbled up like it was boiling hot and turned to blood.

Then it charged at me and almost bit my left breast off. At that moment someone pulled me back and I let out a scream as I woke up. Scary scary looking baby and I look at my best friend and she picks it up and starts to walk away with it… I woke up after that….

Can you please help me? Can you please help me to understand the meaning of this pleasee? I write down every dream I have that I can remember. Could you please help me understand? We might also feel insecure in the presence of the person, and hence wouldn't want to have him or her around. It could also indicate that you may come across someone who may not make you feel good.

Therefore, it could be an indicator of sorts to caution you about that person. However, if the dream does not point towards a person, it could make you look at the broader picture.

You may have to be attentive towards a situation or a crisis that may be in store for you or you are currently dealing with. It may appear as if it could destroy your life. You may wish to escape it, but you may not be able to rid yourself from it. Nonetheless, you may take the bad dream in your stride by mustering the courage to handle all negative things that come your way, because nothing is permanent. So be hopeful and joyful.
