That's what the priest thought on the Exorcist and look where it got him.

My wife has been having a strange dream the past few nights, and i am beginning to worry about her, i believe a demon may be following her.
From what she explained to me the dream starts out when she is in a old house we used to live in. In the house there is a little boy, she said she gets a feeling from the little boy that it is trying to drive people away from here and try to get her alone, she says she is standing near set of stairs when she feels something grab her shoulders, pick her up and float her down the stairs and land her on her knees, she said it is a very dark dream. Her father is a pastor and her mother is a very strong believer, we had talked to them and they thing the boy may symbolize a ancestor.
I'm very worried a demon may be following my wife, can somebody help or maybe explain what this could be. I tried praying, but something just feels wrong.

I don't believe in demons, but I think if your wife is having the same powerful dream over and over, there's probably a reason for it. Why do your in-laws think it might symbolize an ancestor? What do they think it means?

The boy doesn't seem to be trying to harm her, and he "lands her on her knees," which for some people is a posture of prayer.

What does your wife think it means?

This place is a joke...thanks for the help.

I don't think any of us are really that experienced with demons and spirits enough to tell you whats going on.

It is of my belief that a reoccurring dream is probably your wife's subconscious trying to bring something into consciousness. Really, I think she will be the only useless at interpreting the dream.

Indeed, BIll, one must try to understand that reoccurring dreams as designed to get ones attention. Becoming frightened by such dreams will not help the individual very much and in fact could drive them away from resolving the situation.

Why do your in-laws think it might symbolize an ancestor? What do they think it means?

It is most likely because they don't have the foggiest ideas of how to deconstruct a dream and discern the elements behind the symbolism. In those terms, their thoughts on the matter could simply aggravate the situation. Personally, I would not listen to the thoughts of anyone who suggests that this is due to an external influence.

The boy doesn't seem to be trying to harm her, and he "lands her on her knees," which for some people is a posture of prayer.

It is also a position of abject servitude. It is not an especially promising symbol. In essence, psychologically speaking, the dream element is bringing her to her knees. She is so traumatized by the realistic nature of the symbolism that she is not able to decipher why that is.

What does your wife think it means?

This is the key. It doesn't matter, in the slightest, what others think or decide this dream means. The wife can determine the elements involved if she is ready to take a long cool look at her personal behavior and her belief structures.

My advice, if she can muster the strength, is to freeze the dream at the point she is on her knees... and slowly get up, stand tall and walk away. This sounds simple enough, but under the circumstances it will require a Herculean amount of effort on her part. In essence, she needs to break the cycle and depending on what precipitated the dream, that could be far easier said, than done.

This very thread is one of the reasons I penned the thread, Dreams, dreams, dreams.
For anyone who is actually interested in dreams, please drop in and tell me your thoughts.

My guess is that the distinct lack of interest in the thread is perhaps one of the reasons why people don't understand dreams.

I don't know about that. I know I made my response in response to Father Heathen's which I just thought was funny. Other than that, I actually find dream interpretation interesting, it's just that when someone comes in talking about a dream with the automatic assumption of demons...I find it hard to take it seriously which is why I didn't really respond seriously. I think that may be why a lot of others didn't either. If he had just come in describing the dream and asked others what they thought the thread probably would have gone completely differently. Coming in with your first post talking about how you think a demon is invading your wife's dreams, well...

Indeed it is; that's precisely why some use it as a posture of prayer.

I was wondering whether being brought into that position against her will might not indicate some inner conflict having to do with her religion, but not knowing her myself it would be rash to jump to conclusions. As you say, the important thing is what she thinks it means.

I would say let her talk about the dream and express her feelings about it.I wouldnt be afraid.I mean dreams can be scary I have some very horrible ones that make me feel bad during the dream (obviously) and some of them it takes me a while to shake off the creepiness.I also have recurring theme dreams ..many of them..

I personally would not be worried that if your wife is having a "nightmare" that is recuuring that some outside demon is invading her.

I had a dream/nighmare last night that was "new" and I can tell you I have thought about it off and on today and to be honest wish my mind hadnt gone there and I could forget it .But I can gurantee you I will be able to recall it for the rest of my life untill I start to lose my mind alltogether.(not that your wife is losing her mind)..

Just listen to her and comfort her..

((((HUGS))))

Love

Cliche as it might sound, your wife's dream fits the standard psychoanalytic archetype "the inner child". There is some underdeveloped aspect of herself that would like to be addressed and allowed to mature.

The idea she's being followed by a demon is ludicrous. Everybody has dreams like these.

Hmm...this is very interesting and could be why I had my dream last night.It may not even be "underdeveloped" ..could be the mind revisiting working out trauma.

The dream I had last night (I mean nightmare) was disturbing.So disturbing that if it was made into a movie most people couldnt stomach it and warnigns would be all over it.It woudl be a scene in a movie you would never forget and it would make you angry even thought you knew it wasnt real.

In the dream I'll say this..I rescued the little girl and I shouted out what the culprit had done to her and even when I woke up I rearanged how I would have gotten justice further in my dream..I finished my dream ..awake..I did what I could..


Love

Dallas

If father is a pastor and mother a strong beleiver etc Then wouldnt it be no suprise that the daughter is having those dreams. If she was a child of atheists and there was no talk about demons, ghosts, ghoolys and goblings, she would be dreaming of shopping for cloths meeting her friends and girly things etc? I know when I was a child I used to have night mares about going to hell because of this big scary painting of heaven and hell for all the kids to see on the wall right infront of them; at school assembly!
Get the person to control the dream and then she will be healed! imo.

If your Faith is very sound, tell the Demon "Get thee gone in the name of Jesus Christ"!!

It's no wounder way this part of the forum doesn't get much use. Even some of the more respectable member joined in on joking and poking fun.

Guys, if you see this type of behavior in the future, just report it to us instead of engaging them. That would help us a great deal.

Add:
I was waiting for input!
I know the stair scenario v well!
It saddens me that an angel can be perceived as dark! evil! "sighs"
If your wife cannot control the dream, then maybe it wasnt just a dream and this so called demon was in fact just warning her! protecting her. A question to you!!: If your wife nags and nags and nags at you! and this nagging does your head in time and time again and again... would you, yourself put your arms out to stop her falling? at that moment when her words make you feel rage at her? would you let her fall?
Know thy self! for it is the angel stopping her from the fall imo. and will protect her
youll be back m8 :yes:

I'm very worried a demon may be following my wife, can somebody help or maybe explain what this could be. I tried praying, but something just feels wrong.

If she is seriously worried have her call on the Arcangel Michael for protection or to banish the demon. I wouldn't go willy nilly using this, but it's what the people who talk to the dead supposedly use when they encounter an evil spirit.
