nobody called you a liar
you were asked a legitimate question and you were given legitimate advice. follow it or not, it is up to you. If you have a medical problem, see a doctor. If you have a psychological problem, see a psychologist. If you have a spiritual problem, see a priest. Obviously no one here can help you with your situation.

Part of being a true Atheist imo is being open minded which a lot of others forget and act like there better for being one, i’m mentally stable iv been told the blanking out is from low blood pressure, the vomiting is anxiety and the dream is probably just night terrors, but all of this coming on after the same reoccurring dream, iv had night terrors before they just prevent me from sleeping, what i’m experiencing now truly different its like nothing iv felt before. Dose i prayer still work it haven’t believed in while? I did have my first holy communion when i was smaller. i don’t know if this will help or hurt those who think i’m a lier but i’m only 18 and i’m trying to stay rational but it is truly taking a tole on me. This will be my first night heading off to sleep after prayer, with any luck it will make a difference.

Were you baptised then? Confirmed Catholic? If this is different, then perhaps it is. I’m glad to hear you are psychologically stable. Again though, seeing a psychiatrist isn’t bad. In fact, if you get the attention of a exorcist (for instance) you might be supprised to find that you will be required to see one before an exorcism can be done. Before we accept something is super natural, the natural must be eliminated. It really is that simple.

What others say is true, you need to invite a devil into you to be truely possesed. However what I"m not clear about is whether this means you have to do something specific, or as I have understood rather being in a state of mortal sin might be enough. If the above is true (baptised, confirmed) and you now call your self athiest I can imagine you are in a state of mortal sin.

You do need a priest, as others have said here there is nothing any of us can really do. Other than, that is, pray for you. Which I will be. God bless,

I don’t think they’re a troll…

I know whenever someone thought I’m a troll, or made assumptions about me online, that really hurt. I wouldn’t want to do that to others. I think we should give the OP constructive advice and not assume anything about them… especially because their OP seems honest and direct, - nothing like a troll…

To the OP, I recommend talking to a priest, praying (even if you don’t believe in it yet), and maybe ask the being in the dream to repeat “Blessed be Jesus and Mary” perfectly. Or just pray the Hail Mary…
 
Have you had some major change in your life that might be prompting this? Are you expecting something?

What are you eating before going to bed?

Have you made some new friends?

There are any number of bizarre causes that we could look to before we cry “demon”.

Still, it is best to err on the side of caution and, simply from a “humanistic” perspective, ALWAYS maintain the integrity of self. By that I mean, even an “atheist” should have a problem with subjugating his spirit to another creature, be it malevolent or seemingly beneficent regardless of whether it is “real” or not.

Sure, say the St. Michael, the Hail Mary, the Our Father, or just say the name “Jesus” over a bunch of times. Those names have impact, period.

Don’t overlook the fact that this may be a way for your subconscious to manifest its needs for you to find your way back to God. God may be calling to you, but your eyes are currently blind to what he is trying to show you. Do not be afraid to call out to Him. He will hear you.

BTW: the funny thing about actual trolls is that their posts get read by so many others who may actually benefit from their attempts to undermine. It is always best to behave charitably, regardless of seeming intent. Yes? Remember God works to the good all things… 🙂

I pray you find peace and the Love of our Father’s embrace in your heart.
:signofcross:
 
Seems that the OP has never posted again. Either a troll or someone now getting a good night’s sleep
 
I am hoping that after some introspection and prayer that our friend has gained some valuable incite and has change his profile. On a best case scenario, maybe he went to confession, and started to attend Mass and receive the Eucharist again. May Gods Grace find its way back into this young persons heart.
 
Perhaps you should see a psychiatrist or a doctor. It seems that maybe you have developed a phobia of sleeping and sleep is definitely necessary for your health.
 
It is definitely Satan. Say this prayer, In the name of Jesus Christ, depart Satan, and don’t come back.

I’ll pray for you daily. Satan wants to take your soul and want to hinder your salvation. You have to be careful to fall to despair. You have to say, no I do not want to go to hell.

Say also this prayer, Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner, as many times as you like, according to the rhythm of your breathing.

Go to confession, he will depart from you

May the merciful Jesus heal you, bless you and protect you.

Do you take part in any occult? You need to leave that behind. It is vanity and a lie. Seek Jesus’ love, sweetheart
