By any chance, did you use a pirated copy of Demons of Magick for the ritual?
Edit: wanted to clarify that I am solely asking so we have a better idea of how to interpret what happened to you after that. Usually signs can come in the form of dreams, but it’s really up to the individual how they interpret whether something is a sign from an entity or not. The dream you describe is very unpleasant; the question I would ask is – to you, is there any even tenuous relation to the dream vision and the request you made of Seere (or any other demons recently)? This is a weird question to ask, and I feel weird asking it, so I hope I can convey properly what I mean (and I hope that everyone reading this understands I am in no way victim-blaming or giving a thumbs up to the events described) – if you connect that dream with the petitions you’re making with demons, is there any kind of word-chain association you can personally come up with that links certain emotional states to the event described as well as the rituals you’re casting? Like: fear that the ritual works too well? A fear of losing power? Once again, I REALLY hope I am conveying why I am asking this question (and would likely do so even were the subject matter less horrifying), and of course you don’t have any need to respond publicly to this question – just something to think about and see if this is representative or symbolic of a fear you might have that can be brought to light and addressed.
Also, as you alluded to, dreams are of your subconscious, and this could be nothing more than a sign that you were apprehensive about the ritual, before or after it occurred. I freely discard or assign portentous meanings to certain dreams depending on how I feel about them and what I’m trying to achieve.
Lastly, the reason I asked about whether the DoM ritual was from a pirated copy is because my understanding is that the pirated PDFs circulating the web contain incorrect sigils and seals and possibly incorrect or missing steps in how the ritual is performed.
I’d recommend performing the LBRP in your space, and drawing out of a copy of the “seal of manifestation”:
