I’ll start this by saying that I just woke up from another one of those dreams so if my writing is weird it’s because I’m still groggy from it.
The gist of it is that ever since I was a child I keep having those dreams that either my house is possessed by some demon/poltergeist or that demons are after me straight up. Now I know they’re not actual demons, I’ve worked with demons before I know they’re cool and all, but for the sake of making writing easier I’ll just keep calling them that.
I don’t know what it is anymore. Usually I’m not really scared anymore in the dreams because even in my dreams I know how things are going to go and that I’ve defeated them and they’re back again.
It always happens, they come after me, I kill them, they come back again. Every few months I get the dreams again. I kept trying not to think about it, that maybe it’s just some childhood fear that I still carry (which I did and kind of still do, I’d shit my pants if I got a poltergeist or saw a demon irl) but I don’t think it still applies anymore, clearly even in a dream state I know I’ve been through this before, I’m not scared, if anything tired of it.
Could it perhaps be some sort of curse or something? Or maybe the entities just attacked me once and kept doing it ever since? What’s your experience or thoughts on this? Let me know while I take something for this horrible headache I got from this dream in which I was butchering a “succubi” on my bedroom floor in an attempt to kill it forever.
Is there anything in your life that could mean this is your subconscious worrying about being chased? Like family that pressure you or people they know that want you to do something for them, perform or otherwise get involved in something? You might not know these people directly.
What do the dream demons and poltergeists look like? What would they do if you didn’t fight that means you have to fight?
Not being stressed at the moment, and these dreams have been going on for years and are regular. At first I thought it was some weird religious trauma but that’s a bit unlikely since I wasn’t really raised Christian. Like sure I was taught to pray and we celebrated traditions but we never went to church.
The entities vary in appearance I suppose. The ones from today looked very peculiar, I’ve never seen something like them before. The first one was very tall and lanky, he was naked and his skin looked like white tree bark. His eyes looked very very weird, definitely not human and were grey and black. When I encountered him he was not aggressive he just said something to me then left. Then when he returned specifically for me I was just terrified in the dream. Full on having a panic attack and sobbing inside the dream, which has never happened before.
Like I said there’s nothing in my life right now that could make me have this reaction in the dream world.
The “demon” I fought with today was a succubi I suppose, she was naked and very seductive; again, something I haven’t encountered before.
Sometimes the entities don’t really have a body. Sometimes I just know they’re present in the dream because they make my house act up or I can just feel their presence. I can’t remember their bodily form or if they have one, if they do it’s probably not something worth remembering.
So far I’ve never tried not fighting them, they almost always have this aura of malicious intent. I’m not good at lucid dreaming, I can say I only “half lucid dream” so that’s why I automatically start fighting them. I can’t remember ever losing to one of them though.
I’ve also wondered if perhaps my house is actually haunted or something, even though I cleanse it somewhat often.
Hmn, so there’s a lead if you think these are connected to where you are sleeping… do the dreams stop when you are not in the house/ Have you tried banishing and warding the house to get rid of anything that could be present and prevent it’s return? If so, did this have any effect?
As far as i know i dont get these sort of dreams anywhere else. I did some mild banishing a while ago i suppose i could try again and be more serious with it.
Sounds like a plan. Use divination after each banishing to see if there’s more to do, and set up the wards first wit the intent that things can get out but not in, unless you personally and consciously invite them in so many words.
You might have to run this as a repeat ritual. People running the LBRP start off doing that twice a day for a month to both get the technique completely ingrained in their system so it’s 2nd nature to use it when needed, and to cleanse not just the area but themselves of parasites and unwanted energy. You can even make spiritual progress doing this.
I have been doing LBRP up to four times a day as I haven’t been practicing long. Definitely works. Family came over and thought I had cleaned the house, I didn’t… I was doing the LBRP and they picked up on the clean energy as they come through the door…
Four times a day seems excessive. Generally, the LBRP is done once in the morning and once before sleep. More than that could be very taxing energetically.
Yea I know right… I was following Damien Echols style when he was doing it up to 8 hrs a day. When you’re locked in a cell I guess he had plenty of time. But I think he did burn out his system.
I am a late starter so I am making up for lost time. The world is slowly falling apart so I figured it’s time to get spiritual quick…
I don’t know if my comment will help you any, but it might be good insight. I do apologize for how long it might be.
Since 2nd grade, I’ve had dreams of being chased by demons/zombies/undead monsters/sometimes an incubus character. It’s still ongoing. Throughout my whole life, I’ve been dealing with these constant, sometimes exhausting, nightmares. I was terrified of them when I was younger and in high school, and when I was in college and later in life (now), I decided to try some things and think about why I am having these nightmares of being chased.
I’ve decided to practice lucid dreaming, or some kind of weird dream magick to understand my subconscious better as to why I’m having these dreams.
I decided to attack them. At first I was powerless, but when I kept imaging how powerful I am in the dream (or sometimes call on Spirits to help me) they chasers end up either getting gravely injured or leave me alone entirely. Sometimes befriend me! Sometimes they turn into my family members and we talk like we just had a weird long argument and we are making up.
I “summon” or call upon Spirit Guides to help me. Usually they appear and they help me. Sometimes I legitimately invoke a Spirit Guide in my sleep and they reassure me I am just dreaming and we talk about stuff and sometimes make some practice to further my magickal goals.
One time I just quit running entirely. I let them catch me, even though I’m scared and then… nothing happens? The dream tends to devolve into something else entirely like a memory or something incredibly boring.
This one is weird, but I changed the chasers into attractive people and they fucked me instead of attacking me. I thought this was funny. But if the chaser is the incubus character I just let him do whatever because there’s no point.
So after these tricks, the chasers no longer scare me. But I still don’t understand why I am being chased in my dreams or why at times, they seem to grow smarter. (I used to hide in a safe house, but in one dream they burned the house down and now the house is gone. Or when I hide in a cornfield, they have a search party cover the whole cornfield almost in advance and the cornfield is no longer safe.)
And then I realized, maybe it isn’t the chasers I should be concerned about but where I was running from!
It was my childhood home. And then it hit me.
I’m running away from home.
I’m running away from my family. (Remember when I typed how after I attack them they turned to my family members?)
And sometimes when I’m being chased by zombies, I have a fear of dying and the unknown.
I feel silly that it took so long for me to realize this, but it makes sense.
I am not sure how to really end it as I didn’t get to this stage yet, maybe it won’t ever end, but I do hope that maybe solving it could help you.
It reminds me of an account in Robert Moss’ book Dreamgates, where someone being chased by a monster used his technique to go back into the dream in vision and stand his ground. The monster turned into a rabbit and then turned out to be a guide that was trying to contact him. The image of the monster was created by his fear.
Huh yeah. I suppose my own bad memories with this house could influence things. I should definitely try and get better at lucid dreaming though.
I once had this dream where I was outside and it was full of monsters and whatnot, and then when I came back they all explained themselves and then they weren’t monsters anymore. (Also I ran into my own subconscious who told me things aren’t what they seem to be so that was cool af).
Excellent, use them for your Shadow Work. Meditate and ask yourself what that dream is telling you; you will hear the answer or understand it in a few days. Dreams are the best healers; you just need to listen to them. Embrace your nightmares with love and thank them for being there. As funny as it may sound, you need to show love to your worst enemies because they make you stronger, and that’s how you heal by conquering them!
Personally, when I was young, I dreamed every night for years about someone with horns coming towards me from the shadows. I would wake up frightened during the nights until I said thank you to him one evening before falling asleep. I distinctly remember that the next day, I stood up to the manipulators around me and became stronger in conflict with the enemies outside of the dream… they were my nightmare.
Years later, I had the same dream, but this time, instead of running away, the beautiful “demon” came out of the shadows and embraced me like a father, whom I never had… Dreams are our best friends.
