Is this a demon or my inner being?

Question

So I'm guessing I've been under a lot of stress lately since that's all I can really point at at this point. I've been having some nightmares, although that's nothing new to me, but they've been pretty fearsome lately.

I had a nightmare last night about a demon. I vaguely remember it, like most nightmares, but it left me uncontrollably/undeniably scared. The demon looked angelic and I do refer to him as a demon because of the things he'd say. He looked angelic because he was wearing a beige, not white, suit and his hair was black, straight, and shoulder length. His characteristics were of a man but not really. All I remember was being taunted by him and his laughter ringing in my ears. I was trying to get away from him by closing my eyes and praying, pretending he wasn't there, but I was so nervous that I kept forgetting the prayer. All the words were coming out wrong and he kept taunting me on how I

'didn't even know the prayers and that I wasn't a true child of the light'. At one point, my family, I specifically remember my mom, were joining me at a dinner and the demon was sitting next to me, obviously invisible to family and he just kept taunting. Louder and louder and I kept trying to pray and somehow my subconscious was hinting me at, if I thought of something hard enough it'd come true, so I started thinking of him as the ocean so he'd just wash away and it actually started working but he wouldn't dissipate completely. I woke up terrified without him actually disappearing and I didn't go back to sleep for hours afraid that I would return to nightmare, as many times I do. I cried and cried uncontrollably of fear. It was the most horrifying experience I'd ever encountered. Could this be an actual demon I was facing or was I facing my inner being?

Answer 1

This was not your inner being.

remember this; demons lie.

You can command the demon to go.  "In the name of Jesus, I command you to go. You have no power here."

God has given Him all authority, and if you are a follower of Christ, you have the right to use His name and His authority.

Psalm 91 is a good one to pray over yourself.  If you don't have a Bible,

or access to one you can go to Biblegateway.com and type it in the search engine.

God bless.

remember; demons lie.

Answer 2

great idea dissipating him. You are taking control of your dream and it loses power over you. It is from your subconcious. Add holy water to the ocean in your dream, that will speed up the dissipating to a very rapid rate.

Read some prayers and leave them near yur bed. It is not a demon but train your subconcious to be ready for the dream. Put some garlic under your pillow too

Answer 3

Actually I think it is quite possible that who you were seeing was Satan himself or it could be a high level demon. Your description sounds exactly like the experience I had one night where I dreamt I was falling through a tunnel and ended up in a place that was extremely black. While there I saw a very handsome man, except he was in black clothes and his hear was jet black and straight but is hair had in a few curls. He started looking at me angrily and after I saw him a voice told me that was Satan.

Now Satan is described as the accuser of the brethren because he accuses people day and night before God and he accuses people themselves making them feel that they are not good enough or not strong enough. My advice would be to pray asking Jesus Christ for his protection. Then while praying command Satan and his demons to leave you alone in the name of Jesus Christ. Remember if you are a believer you have authority over Satan himself. Tell Satan as if you could see him to get thee behind you. Tell him that you have authority and power over him because you believe in Jesus Christ. Don't allow yourself to be afraid of him, you have to know that you have authority. You have God on your side, you have millions of God's angels on your side so you don't need to be afraid, you are a child of God.

Answer 4

do not be afraid you should consult a priest at a church or look for a monk you may have future telling powers or of some sort but do not be afraid just be sure to have a cross in your room this should help also keep holy water with you

Answer 5

Very interesting. These happenings seem very abnormal but not quite original. I've seen this happen on that ghost show on discovery channel about 5 times. Personally I think it's bull. But, your case seems very different because it is actually happening. I would suggest going to a church and asking the priest what to do about this or to just see a physic.

Answer 6

Dreams if not understood can be terrifying, but if you think about it for a minute it was trying to tell you something. You said yourself you are under a lot of stress, I believe that represents your angel/demon. Your dream is trying to tell you how to deal with your stress. Thoughts are powerful. Find something enlightening to you, whether a prayer or a possitive saying and keep reciting it until you truly believe it. Your thoughts become you! In the dream would think him away....do this in real life with your stress and you'll start to see a difference.

P.S.

I believe the reason for the angel/demon is someone who appears to be loving, but they're really not. They're stressing you out.

Answer 7

Please do not be afraid of demons or ghosts. These could be symbols of stress, agitation or frustration of some kind... Please read http://www.shvoong.com/medicine-and-heal...

It might help you gain some insight and remember Demons are not physical. They cannot harm you physically so put up your best armour and don't even hint that you are afraid.

Best of Luck...
