I just woke up from a dream.

At one point, I realized I was in a dream when something was tempting me to give in to lust — I did for a bit, but something made me realize it was a lucid dream. Upon saying, “Go away, you’re not real,” I distinctly remember this shadowy figure going away and hearing this ghostly voice fading away.

At this point, I thought I had woken up and made the sign of the Cross. I tried speaking, but I couldn’t…but I could still think in my mind. Maybe this thing brought its comrades because there were physical sensations about something touching my sides. I remember thinking, “What impudent things that resist the sign of the Cross,” not knowing I wasn’t actually awake and no sign had actually been made.

Upon actually waking up, I commanded whatever those things were to leave in the name of Jesus.

I’ve felt things in my sleep before (poking and prodding my sides that immediately cease the second I wake up), but only rarely do I ever “see” or “hear” something.

Are we weakened in a state of sleep? I get that tempting me to lust in sleep would cause me to sin, but why the physical feeling of poking and prodding? That’s just annoying but doesn’t cause me to fall into sin.
 
Thank you. I didn’t realise that I wasn’t the only one who has had night attacks.

I used to have a dreadful reoccurring vivid dream which was physical agony (until I turned on the light and got out of bed). I used to call it the Shadow man dream, because as a child it started with the shadow of man dancing on our high garden wall and he turned very nasty when I was an adult.

After reverting, the dream came back, however, once out of bed I prayed. Every bedtime, I pray for protection while I sleep. If anything spooks me or something is amiss, I try to leap into prayer and Thanks be to God, he has answered. And if I can’t back to sleep straight away, I keep praying but for others (it helps).

I do believe that we can be under attack at anytime but I also believe that God will protect us. I know God has and still does use dreams but I also know that satan likes to twist and deceive which is why I try to be very very careful.
 
I think it’s best to assume that your attacks are probably for real. If you haven’t got a St Benedict’s medal or crucifix in the house, then get one. Have a chat with your priest about it (under the seal of Confession).
 
In an online biography of St. Gemma Galgani, a Church Saint and Mystic and Stigmatist, there are numerous accounts of physical beatings upon her in her sleep which were witnessed by others in the house. So, it does happen to some people. You might pray to her for help in this.

God bless!
 
It could be natural too. “Paralyzation” nightmares, or nightmares that something’s sitting on your chest and keeping you from moving, are pretty common, and the reason you can’t move is that you’re not all the way awake. Most of us have safety mechanisms to prevent us moving around too much during sleep (like rolling off the bed, or sleepwalking). As part of that, you can be partly awake but unable to move. This often makes people think they’re more awake than they really are.

It’s also pretty common to have nightmares where you’re just dreaming that you’re awake and doing things, but you’re really not. This can be annoying when you’ve spent the night finishing some chores, and then you wake up to find them not done yet!!

If you’ve been watching horror movies, reading about exorcisms or scary historical events, etc., it would be totally normal to have scary bad dreams afterwards. Nightmares are a side effect of certain prescription drugs (pretty far down in the list but you can find them). Myself, I tend to have nightmares whenever something’s bothering me emotionally, whether something real or something fictional. (I read an sf horror book once that gave me nightmares two nights running, to the point where I finally decided it’d be easier just to get up and stay up.) And since many nightmares don’t let you really rest deeply (they often make you thrash around, or wake up suddenly, or almost wake up but not quite), this could lead to the paralyzation nightmares, too.

OTOH, paralyzation nightmares can be associated with sleep apnea, because 1) you really can’t breathe; and 2) not breathing good leads to waking up partway again and again. So if you are a known snorer, etc., you might want to check with your doctor if this happens a lot.

But it won’t hurt you to pray, whether it’s demons or sleep troubles. One of the 7th century night hymns of the Church deals with both possibilities. It’s called “Te Lucis Ante Terminum.” (If you want to hear the old chant tune, look it up on YouTube. It’s very soothing.) Here’s a translation of the most popular verses:

To Thee, before the close of day,
Creator of the world, we pray
that with Thy wonted favor, Thou
wouldst be our Guard and Keeper now.

From all ill dreams defend our eyes,
from nightly fears and fantasies:
tread under foot our ghostly foe,*
that no pollution we may know.

O Father, that we ask be done
through Jesus Christ Thine only Son,
who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee,
shall live and reign eternally.
Amen.
  • “ghost” as in spirit. The devil, like the angels, is a spirit, so he’s our spiritual foe. The Latin actually is “hostemque nostram comprime” (“And stifle our Enemy”), but the translator wanted to make sure we knew that “our enemy” was not Bob down the street!
 
Can someone pray for me? I think I had another episode during sleep. Took a quick nap before doing an all-nighter shift at work.

First I saw kind of an iridescent figure in total darkness which gave me a creepy feeling. Then I felt this prodding near my left shoulder blades which continued throughout. In my dream or whatever this was, I was at first prevented from making the sign of the Cross but afterward I could make a few. Not sure how long this lasted but it was less than an hour at tops — remember saying the name of Jesus, then thought, Darn – maybe I didn’t fast enough. But I kept calling for God’s help and to send my guardian angel. After a while, I saw more dimly iridescent outlines of figures that looked like angels coming down in the style of a DNA double helix. Soon after, everything stopped, and I woke up.

After I woke up, I could still kind of feel the sensation on my left shoulder blade. Said 3 Hail Mary’s.

Every time I have a dream when I feel physical prodding (under my arms, side), it’s after I try to become more right with God. But this time, it seemed a bit more real…and more scary as I felt almost overwhelmed 😊…I was just hoping the alarm would ring and end everything.

If I’m not hallucinating, that demon was not happy with my getting up again and trying to find God…which seems counterintuitive since now I have more of a reason to pray to God…or maybe I was targeted because of sins that I’m not even aware of
 
Do you pray the Rosary? One of the first things I was taught was to dedicate a Rosary for deliverance from these types of things you are experiencing.
Code: 
   a)  Hail Mary: Second Part:  Holy Mother of God Pray for "me" (or whomever you are praying for).

  b) Our Father:  Say: Deliver "me" (or whomever you are praying for).
Of course include the Prayer to St. Micahel the Archangel.

Invocation to the Blessed Virgin Mary – Queen of the Angels,

I implore your intersession and humbly ask you to
send down your most Holy Waring Angels, from the same Choir
as those who attack me, to drive the demons far away
from me and for them to be taken to the feet of your son
for Him to deal with them as He wills.

Queen of Angels, receive our prayers that
we direct to you as servants of Almighty God.
Make our prayers reach the altar of the Most High
so that we may obtain grace, salvation,
and response to our problems.

I ask all of this in the name of He who has come to
the world for us because he loves us, Jesus Christ. Amen

Also sprinkling your head with Holy Water before your say your prayers before going to sleep helps.

Generally, increasing your prayer life always helps. Avoid all haunting, ghost, and paranormal shows on that are so popular on TV now. Ten years or so ago such shows were rare. This interest is world wide. I don’t have to tell you that shows that have esoteric, any form of divination, and/or occultism themes are to be avoided, particularly these with mediums or mind readers. There are few movies or sitcoms that a Catholic should watch.
Code: 
There are so many doing exactly what Satan wants, that is living in some type of mortal sin and giving into him, that evil spirits have more time to plague those who are completely innocent.  The object of evil is to make people lose their Salvation.
However, if one increases their prayer life and prays upon these attacks they will cease.
Reading Holy Scripture, the Gospels, the Epistles, Psalms, also helps. They can’t stand the written Word.

At the time, I really couldn’t think of the words to the prayers. All I could say/think of was “Blessed be Jesus and Mary” that I read somewhere. I may have said “Hail Mary” but don’t remember.

Not sure what the demons get out of this…I’m only going to pray more and be more vigilant about temptations and mortal sins…

Blues, do you think sometimes increasing prayer life can provoke or increase attacks?

Thereafter Patrick gat him into the wilderness, that is, to Cruachan Oigle, after the manner of Moses and Elias and Christ, and for forty days and forty nights he fasted in that place, having four stones about him and a stone under him, even as Moses fasted on Mount Sinai when the Law was delivered unto him. For they, Moses and Patrick, were alike in many ways. One hundred and twenty years was the age of them both. Each was a leader of people: forty nights on mountains they fasted, and the burial-places of both are uncertain.

Now when [the solemn festival of] Easter was at hand, the mountain was filled against him with devils in the shapes of black birds. Patrick sings psalms of cursing against them, and he weeps and strikes his bell, until a gap broke in it, ut dixit Patricius -

I don’t have much doubt it was demonic. You’ll probably find now that you’ll always cop a certain amount of this stuff, but after a while you, develop a sort of a sort of immunity, and it becomes less frequent.

It happens at night because you don’t have concrete thoughts occupying your mind. During the day there are a million and one things calling for your attention - driving, getting breakfast, getting to work on time, pleasing the boss, looking after the kids. But at night these things are not there, and that’s when they’re likely to make it obvious you’re on their mental hit list.

We talk about midnight and 3am being their hour, but I think as much as anything it’s to do with the fact we’re not preoccupied with ordinary duties at those times. They’re hanging around all the time, but when we’re doing ordinary things and our minds are occupied, it’s harder for them to get our attention.
 
Protect yourself wear a scapular and benedicts medal

Pray that the blood of jesus will cover you while you and that God will send warrior angels to watch over you as you sleep

The Roman poet Ovid in his great work Metamorphoses (Latin: Metamorphoseon libri: “Books of Transformations”) writes “Video meliora proboque, deteriora sequo,” which translates “I see the better and the excellent things, but I pursue those that are worst,” (Ovid Met. 7, 19). This refers to the inner conflict that all have to chose the wide and easy road rather than fight the steep and narrow road that leads to Eternal Victory.
Code: 
 A  young Italian, named Francesco Forgione was visiting a small Capuchin friary, San Marcos,  before entering  the Capuchin seminary in Marcone, Italy when he had a vision of Jesus Christ.  There are two accounts of this vision.  One  account is by  Francesco himself  who reluctantly did so by the order of his spiritual adviser. The other  version is recorded in the diary of  Francesco's spiritual director,  Padre  Agostino, secular named Michael Daniel,  who was also at San Marco in Lamis when this apparition of Christ occurred.  Francesco's account is written in the 3rd person did so as to hide his identity.  This is my summary:
"While meditating on his vocation one day, suddenly Francesco’s surroundings of this world faded away. He was standing next with a man who shining as the sun took his hand and said “Come with me because it is only proper that you fight like a courageous warrior.” The man guided him to a field filled with two groups of men separated by a great space. One group was calm, dressed in snow white and shone brightly. The other group appeared black as the darkest shadows. A dark shadow man so tall his forehead touched the sky with the face of a raging monster appeared him. Francesco was so scared his heart froze. He turned to his guide begging him not to be exposed to the rage of this monster because he appeared to be stronger than all of the other group together.

“Your every resistance is useless and you must struggle with him: have courage, enter into the struggle with confidence, go foorward courageously because I will stay near you. I shall help you and I won’t allow him to bring you down. As a reward for the victory which you shall carry off I shall give you a shining crown that will decorate your forehead” said his guide.

The poor young man took courage & he fought with this formidable gigaintic foe. The clash was violent, but his guide never left his side helped him beat the enemy back until he turned away and ran awayf. His guide gave him the crown as promised then took it away saying: “I will keep another more beautiful for you. If you know how to struggle with that person with whom you have just fought, then fight valiantly, and do not doubt my help for he will always come back to the assault to recoup his lost honor. Keep your eyes well open because that mysterious person will strive to take you by surprise. Do not be afraid of his molestation. Do not fear his formidable presence, but remember what I have promised you: I shall always be near you; I shall always help you as long as you always succeed in overthrowing him.”
Code: 
  Francesco  then relates "that mysterious man was overthrown" and together with his followers took to flight amidst shouting, cursing and deafening cries."

Francesco  entered the seminary where he was renamed Pio, Pius in English.  The moral of this story is that even though the enemy comes back we must fight i.e.  pray and not fear because we have Christ at our side.

Surely one knows that praying longer is righteous and good; but fear of reprisal scares people.  The method of dedicating the Rosary for oneself is a proven method of liberation.   We surely can trust Mother Mary, Queen of Heaven, to know what to do to protect us.

No doubt, these attacks the OP is going through are related to their conversion to the Catholic Church. The enemy wants to scare her.  God the Father likes to see His saints fight.  We have Christ's example of prayer, fasting & even suffered death to free us.  Christ says that if the Master is persecuted, surely His servants will be.

 For those interested, I attached a booklet that: "was published as a series of articles in Immaculata from May through December, 1973. It was written by the late Fr. Dominic Syzmanski (d. 1951), the founder of Marytown, the national shrine of St. Padre Maximilian Kolbe. Fr. Dominic was assisted journalistically by Fr. Jerome Palmer, O.S.B., then editor of the Grail, St. Meinrad, Ind., and presently Director of the Secular Oblates of St. Benedict in the USA.  Fr. Dominic was pastor of St. Anthony Church, Rockford, Ill. at the time and had been active as an exorcist for years. He would admit to friends that he had the gift of detecting Satan’s presence, which he saw as a small blue light." The manuscript for “The Truth about the Devil” was found in a trunk containing Father Dominic’s personal effects that had been stored away after his death in 1951. In view of the outbreak of Satanism and of public interest in exorcism, its importance could never be greater."

These priests can write in a manner that is clear and precise better than I.
 
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Been trying to pray the Rosary every day.

I still don’t know why the enemy cares to annoy me in my sleep. Does the demon have nothing better to do? Temptations I understand – to make the soul lose grace if given in to. But what does it get out of this? It makes me attend Mass more and be more alert.

Interesting about how he detected satan as a blue light…Once, and only once, I saw a blue flame for an instant…it almost seemed to have a face but it wasn’t scary-looking or ghastly. Maybe I was recalling something I saw in a TV show.

For what it’s worth, I had these experiences before I even thought about converting to the Catholic Church…but they always seemed to follow after I repented of my sins or gave in to mortal sins.

I guess I’d take this over being tempted with sin…I can barely muster up enough strength to fight as it is now.
 
Dear EIF5A,

Please just banish all thoughts of evil, the hows & whys & focus on good things. I was taught this method of dedicating a Rosary when I began to help in a deliverance group of an exorcist priest. There are many who suffer from sleep disorders. Sleep deprivation as you so accurately describe can be caused by some physical illness.

Sleep disorders inspired someone to compose: “The Prayer for A Clear Mind.”

Spiritual & physical disorders often accompany each other: because one can cause the other or vice versa. An analogy of their relationship can be made by the old Philosophical question of: What came 1st, the chicken or the egg?

I would seek medical attention if I were you, ASP.

Please say these prayers before you say your Rosaries:

Heart of Jesus

Jesus Meek & Humble of Heart
Make My Heart Like Unto Thine. Amen.

Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, sanctify me;
Body of Christ, save me;
Blood of Christ, inebriate me;
Water from the side of Christ, wash me;
Passion of Christ, strengthen me;
O good Jesus, hear me; within your wounds, hide me;
let me never be separated from you;
from the evil one, protect me;
at the hour of my death, call me;
and bid me to come to you; that with your saints,
I may praise you forever and ever. Amen.

Come Holy Spirit

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and
kindle in them the fire of your love.

V. Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created.
R. And You shall renew the face of the earth.

O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit,
did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant
that by the same Holy Spirit, we may be
truly wise and ever enjoy his consolations.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

PRAYER. For Clear Mind

In the Name of Jesus Christ and by the merits of His Precious Blood,
We ask you Lord Jesus to cleanse and cover
our entire beings with the most Holy and Scared
Water and Blood that poured out Your Pierced Side & Heart during
Your Great Redemptive Act of for the Salvation of Man.

We ask you Lord Jesus, to protect our minds from all evil infuences
and hold our imaginations, we hardly have the ability to control
our imaginations while we are awake; and, surely not while we are sleeping.
Please Lord grant us this favor to hold our imaginations
for us while we sleep and even while we are awake.
so that we may only see, hear, feel and know with our entire beings,
both spiritually and physically, that which is the Express Will of God.
We ask this in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Then this is the last prayer:

Prayer Giving Thanks for Listening & Answering
Our Prayers to be said as the Closing Prayer:

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for awakening my sleeping spirit
and bringing me into your light. Thank you, Lord,
for transforming me by the renewing of my mind.
Thank you, Lord, for pouring out your Spirit on me,
and revealing your Word to me. Thank you, Lord,
for giving your angels charge over me in all my ways.
Thank you for my faith in you and that
from my innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.
Thank you for directing my mind and heart
into the love of the Father and the steadfastness
of all your ways. Fill me to overflowing with your life
and love, my Lord and King, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Please say if you only going to say one Rosary at the very
least dedicate every other decade in the manner of my
first post.
 
OP: I understand what you are going through. This happens to me sometimes too.

I always end up in some sort of room and these demons are always trying to get me to renounce my belief in Jesus.

It’s really kind of funny because it seems to me that they’d stop asking after a certain point because I give them the same answer.

They seem annoyed when I start singing songs - which I’m trying hard to remember in my dream and they just keep trying to pressure me to say that I don’t believe in Jesus. They get mad when I try to invoke Jesus and the promises of God…it’s so hard to remember everything when your dream self is talking and you just can’t pop open your Bible or whatever…

I never renounce Jesus, but I feel so drained after these incidents because, in my dreams, I’m always at a level where I can interact with the demons and the more I defend Jesus/God/Mary, the more I rise away from the demons and more towards heaven.

Everything is so clear and so peaceful once I get to the God level, but I have to keep arguing and fighting the enemy before I get to “advance” out of their territory.

(A lot of the time) I end up satisfied that I didn’t deny Christ (after getting freaking out about the dream I just had.) I still feel drained though.

It’s nice to know that I’m not alone. Take care - thanks for the suggestions. I know I’ll be reading this post a lot more closely later.
