What It Really Means When You Dream You're Possessed By A Demon

Dreaming of being possessed by a demon can often come from your subconscious trying to tell you something about your waking life. According to Dark Dreams, these types of nightmares can mean "there is a force you don't understand within you" and that you may re-evaluate particular aspects of your life without knowing it. This force is "beyond your ego, beyond your self-interest, beyond your personality," and "beyond your consciousness," according to the site. Dreaming of being possessed by a demon can mean that you have the "power" within you to change certain things in your life that you've been putting off.

However, these dreams can also be a warning. You may be "losing control" of these aspects of your life, or you may find that you'll be "unable to think for yourself" and be susceptible to "falling under the power of others," like a demon possessing you. On the other hand, it could be that your mind is telling you to stand your ground and prevent external forces from controlling you. According to Liquids and Solids, dreaming of demon possession can also correlate to feelings of stress, depression, and guilt in waking life. These feelings are taking hold so firmly that you dream they are taking control and consuming you.
