Hello everyone,

I’ve been being bothered for the last couple months or so by some scary recurring dreams. In the dreams it’s as if I am being possessed or something and am fighting with the entity or whatever it is trying to take control of me. After a struggle of epic proportions, I always end up invoking the name of Jesus and calling on His help to be rid of it, which is when I wake up. As an isolated incident this would not bother me, but the fact that this has happened several times, is really bothering me. Should I be concerned about this, or is this just a random dream? I’ve never experienced anything like this before, over the past year I’ve had a deep spiritual conversion back to the Church and I feel that Satan might be a bit mad that he’s lost control of me and wants me back. On the other hand, it might just be random dreams. Needless to say, I’m troubled and very confused. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Paul
 
Paul, what you are writing about is very difficult. Calling on the name of Jesus helps everytime, but of course you have to wake up enough for that first.

You said it yourself, if it were just one dream it would not be bad. Since they are reoccuring, it is time to take action. I have confirmation that Satan does not want you back in the church.

There are several things you can do. First of all we have sacramentals for a reason. A blessed crucifix in your room, some Holy Water and even better yet, some Holy salt sprinkled around may help. Some people being attacked will sleep with a rosary around their neck. Talk to your priest, it would be great if he could come and bless your house. I had many spiritual battles in my house until my priest came to blessed it.

I will be praying for you.
 
I agree with Beth. This may be spiritual harrassment, which if you are patient and cling to God, WILL go away eventually, once the devil sees that he is not scaring you away from the Church. To Beth’s advice, I would say a few evening prayers. The Night Office is excellent, but if that is too complicated you can say a simple night-time prayer from a Catholic prayer book; the Guardian Angel prayer, the St. Michael the Archangel prayer and this bedtime prayer:

“In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, strengthened by the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of Blessed Michael the Archangel, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and all the Saints and Angels of Heaven, and powerful in the holy authority of the name His Name, I subject my mind and my dreams only to the work of the Holy Spirit. I ask you Lord to bind up all powers of darkness and forbid them to work in my dreams or any part of my subconscious while I sleep. Amen.” (From Saint-Mike.org)

Be brave! The devil is mostly a coward who flees from people who staunchly stay with God. If he is truly bothering you, that means you are doing him some harm. Say the prayers and then ignore the rest the best you can. Good luck! 👍
 
Thank you guys for your support. I have a meeting with my Spiritual Advisor tomorrow and I will talk to him about it as well. I do have a Breviary and say the Liturgy of the Hours as much as I can. I don’t want to look too much into it though and make a big deal out of nothing, like I said it might just be a dream too.
 
Hi Paul

You should also post this in the prayer intentions forum and I’m sure that many people will pray for you.

I have also had similar dreams. Beth and Wild Thing are correct in saying you should turn to the Rosary, crucifixes, holy water, etc for support. The prayer to St Michael is very powerful.

Recently, lots of members of CAF have been coming forward saying that they feel under attack. You’re definitely not alone and remember that there is no greater power or protection than God’s love for us.

I will remember you in my prayers.

God bless you and may the angels protect you,
Clare
 
please don’t capitalise satan ; he does not deserve that respect 😊
 
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle;
be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray:
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen

Don’t fear Satan. Christ defeated the Enemy. Old Scratch roams about the world seeking souls to devour, but don’t despair because the Lamb of God is your protection. Resist the Devil and he will flee from you.

Pray often. Don’t challenge the Demon. Never speak directly to the fallen angels. In spiritual battle, invoke the Holy Name of Jesus and ask for his protection.

St. Michael defeated Satan in the beginning and will help you defeat him now. Pray to the Archangel Michael before you go to sleep.

Satan hates the Blessed Mother and flees from her pure, humble innocence and obedience. Before you sleep, ask Our Lady to wrap you in her mantle.

May the Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus cover you and protect you.
