Attacks In My Dreams?

[fred_conty]

Well we do know that noone can tell you whether these dreams are from
demonic origins or not. But I can tell you what I would do first thing.
Put up holy pictures on the four walls of your room.

If there is something that is bothering me,
I tell Mary, “please give me one of your GREAT graces now.”
Now I trust her absolutely because I have the Miraculous Medal on
at all times. In this case I would most definitely ask for her protection.

Here is some important info about the Miraculous Medal, one of Mother Theresa’s
favorites.

“Have a medal struck… All who wear it will receive GREAT graces; they should wear it
around the neck. GRACES will ABOUND for persons who wear it with CONFIDENCE.”
From the mother of Jesus spoken to sister Catherine Laboure 1830.

“Great graces are often attached to what seems trifling.” St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

“The devotions we practice in honor of the glorious Virgin Mary, however trifling they be,
are very pleasing to her divine Son, …” St. Teresa of Jesus

During this apparition, Mary’s hands had 3 rings on each finger. Each ring gave off
rays of colored light. A few rings did not. Mary said that the lights radiating from
the rings are graces that people ASK for. The rings that didn’t radiate she said
were graces not given because they were NOT asked for.

Have it blessed. The devil hates blessed objects. Keep it on all all times.
Wear her medal in her honor because the devil can’t stand her either.

Then say, “Mary I am asking now for great graces which
you promised to those who ask and believe in what you said.”
Trust her, it works. She is the mother of God. Would she lie?
Your mother wants to help you. It is her gift to you. She promised and she will diliver.
“Great graces are often attached to what seems trifling.” St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

FULFILLED.” (Lk. 1;45) St. Elizabeth

For the past few weeks I had been going through a rough patch and spiritual desolation but I continued to follow God as closely as I could and avoided sin with all of my heart. I started to feel like something dark had entered into my life and tried to bring me down in this rough patch through fear and despair.

IThe conditions that reveal our hidden selves are called dry. It’s when God is closest to us because this is when our true disposition is exposed. Think of St Peter’s experience of desolation that compelled him three times to deny Jesus. And later how Jesus reminded Peter of that time by questioning him three times about his love.

Within the past week I have had 3 dreams related to demons and I can’t help but to think that it is Satan’s legions attacking my resolve to stay holy in this time of spiritual desolation.

You are wrestling with spiritual evil if you are experiencing spiritual desolation.The Holy Spirit permits desolation. If that is what it is then, a season within your prayer life ,the evil spirit is a tool to promote growth. There is no shame in spiritual desolation just as there is no merit in spiritual consolation.

Dream 1: I was at church celebrating Sunday mass and I started convulsing on the floor seething with anger spewing vulgar comments at the parishioners around me, speaking different languages in different octaves. One of the people around me pointed and yelled “Father, this man is possessed” and then I stood up and was fine and mass continued as normal. Then a few minutes later it happened again and everyone around me began to panic and the priest ran over to me and began an exorcism.

This may be a dream that is revealing an unconscious judgement against yourself. If so it is due to a misconception common when we feel very far away from God. That there is something wrong with us.

Dream 2 (the following night): I was running from a demon who kept harassing me and breaking all of my material possessions and stealing things from me. I kept trying to run from him but he just wouldn’t leave me alone. He would yell at me and taunt me and say things like “you can never escape the torment of ZoZo”. He kept making it apparently clear that his name was ZoZo and he had no intention of doing anything other than attack me through stealing and harassment.

a possesive fallen intellect would be entirely out of character if it announced it’s name. Maybe Zozo is revealing an attachement to things that must be diminished or it is an obstacle to the spiritual progress this dry time is preparing you for.

Dream 3: My dad wanted to use one of my garages to store something and he did so without my knowledge. When I found out he was using my garage I felt something very dark and evil pour over me and I immediately stormed over to his house and began to berate him with as much vulgar hatred as possible. He just kept trying to walk away but I would pursue him and just keep cursing at him. I felt the pull to keep insulting him and screaming at him even when I wanted to stop. I just couldn’t control myself and I kept going until I woke up.

I would be lying if I said that these dreams didn’t have me thinking. Should I talk to my priest about these dreams? Do you think I am being harassed by a demon?

God’s blessings,
Joshua

Every dream persona is you so you may be storing something unkown to yourself and this unconscious part of yourself could be represented as a father figure in this dream.

The poit I want to make is that God permits desolation and wills consolation. They are both conditions necessary for spiritual groiwth. Exposing our faults so that we can develope forms of dicipline more appropriate for our growth in Christ.

Take everything I’ve written as an assessment made with too little information to be anything but some thoughts that may pertain to your situation or may not.

I recommend you seek out a spiritual director. Someone who can be a trusted fixture in your life and know you well eneough to help you discern your spiritual experience.

Concurrence. Similar experiences have happened to me as well.

Good to know I’m not the only one. I suspect quite a number of Christians experience something like this at some time.

You’ve definitely got my sympathy. Keep the faith, say your prayers. Don’t let anything get you down. Hard to do sometimes, but that’s what needs to be done. Wishing you the best in your struggles…

Yes, and it seems like we are finding each other as well.

I’ve had a very similar experience that, although it was a very frightening time, it eventually led me back to the Church.
I can only say after many nights of physical oppression by something I can only call evil, the power of prayer, mine and others, pulled me through. Today I am no longer tormented and I do not fear because I know that God has power over all.
This began for me about 4 years ago and went on for about a year. I still experience “odd” things on occasion but as I stated, I am no longer fearful.
I won’t go into detail about the experiences but I can tell you that I consider it to be a blessing to me now as it brought me home to the Church and I now have a richer prayer life and my life has more definition, to love God completely.
My personal recommendation is similar to what the others have already mentioned. Pray, pray, pray. The Rosary, Chaplet of Divine Mercy, prayers of deliverance if you feel the need and pray for the intercession of the Saints. Trust in Jesus over all things and maybe meditate over what kind of changes you can make in your life to bring you closer to Him.
God bless you.
