A growing Evil

[Tcolors]

Hi all,

I haven't had this dream in sometime. I don't know if I should even call it a dream. It was more like an experience that would happen when I slept.

It all came about when I was 13. It would start out with me being able to see myself sleeping, that's all. I wasn't like floating and seeing my body on my bed. It was more like, I could see everything as it was. I could see the room. I could see the clothes I left on the floor. It was like the ceiling, floor, and four walls where my eyes. Then as time went on it progressed I could still see everything as I describe.Then I began to feel a tingle in my stomach, then after a few nights of that. I began to feel a pull. Like something was under my bed and was trying to pull something out of me. Not organs or anything. For lack of a better word my "spirit".

As time went by and I got older it became more menacing. This thing moved from underneath my bed and would move about my room. All the time I knew I was asleep and could not wake up or move. This thing never materialized. Eventually it began to grab me and put me in a hold where it would grind it's chin into my back. Causing me much pain. I was helpless. This would go on for what seemed forever and then I'd eventually wake up from the pain. As soon as I awoke the pain was gone. Eventually it stopped. I didn't have this "dream" for years. I never spoke of this dream to anyone, until, it came back.

I was 21 and sharing a motel room with some friends. We went to sleep, and there it was. I could see our room, I could see me and my friends sleeping. I was in a bed by myself and my best friend since High School and a female friend of ours were in the other bed. I could see it all. Then I felt a presence in the far upper corner of the room. It was that same feeling of evil. To my surprise and horror it began to laugh. Then it moved over to me and put me in the hold it use to. Laughing the whole time. I kept saying to myself I have to wake up, I have to wake up. With my right arm dangling from the elbow (as it had my upper arm pulled up). I thought if I could just hit the night stand. That would be enough to wake me. But, I couldn't move. It did not keep me from trying though. I just kept concentrating on hitting the night stand. Suddenly I woke up. It was my friend. He looked at me and asked if I was ok. I was like, what do you mean. He told me I was stiff and moaning in bed and it scared him. I told him I must of had a dream and left it at that.

I finally broke down and told another friend of mine who had an interest in the occult and was Catholic about this thing that was happening to me. He took it very seriously and told me that I could call this demon out. He said with God on my side I could call it out. So, I did have the dream again and I called this thing out. I told it (not verbally, but by thinking the words) you can't have me. I belong to God. I kept repeating that and I also said God will not let you have me. I asked it's name, I never got a response but, after that night I never had that dream again. I am now 42 and still wonder what it was all about. Sometimes when I'm going to bed I can feel something like a bad feeling. I pray, and I talk to the room (lol) saying if you are not of God leave my home, because this is a place of God. Am I weird? Maybe?

I have another dream I had when I was 6 and woke up in tears. I tell you about that one in another post. Can anyone help me with this one?

It does sound as if you have been having out-of-body experiences OOBEs (or OBEs). Try Googling for more information on this phenomenon. I too have encountered similar experiences but while awake and most often when in bed. Indeed, early this evening, around 5pm when my wife had taken our dogs for their twice daily constitution and the house was empty and quiet; I was in the study and heard noises that sounded as if someone else was in the house. Those noises kept occurring and I searched the house twice only to find it empty. I closed all doors and windows but the noises persisted until the arrival of my wife. I am often subjected to such features but do not feel threatened by them although will most often confirm for myself that they arise from an external but unseen and unknown source. I am not religious.

I think you'll find the answer to your question by finding out why your solution worked for you.

I am Christian and I believe everyone sooner or later will seek help from God in their life time. I am glad to hear that you turned to Him for help and he solved your problem. I too have had similar dreams but not as severe as my brothers who are tormented by much worse dreams since childhood. I have no doubt that it was an evil presence tormenting them and you at night. Unfortunately, for my brothers it carried out in their daily lives.

We are most vulnerable when we sleep. God speaks to us in many ways. One way is in our dreams. You have to ask yourself what is it in my daily life that I can do, improve or change so that it is God and not the enemy that feels welcome to come into my life at night or in the day. Having suffering from mild to severe anxiety, I started out praying and begging for just one night of rest without my mind racing at 100 mph. Half way thru my prayer I am filled with joy, laughter and a smile from cheek to cheek. This has grown to a beautiful relationship with God that I can only compare to the joy and laughter I felt at the end of the my prayer. I hope your dreams now bring you the same peace I have.
