Bad Dreams Every Night- Demonic?

[Lybrah]

For the past few months, I've had bad dreams every night. They aren't scary dreams, or sad ones, but I get angry in them. I constantly have dreams where I am being observed at work (I am a teacher) and the kids are terrible, or I lose my job, or something else happens in another situation with another individual where I become angry, fight, say bad things, and I've even woken up in a bad mood over one dream and stayed in a bad mood for a while after I had gotten dressed and had coffee. I would like to know if this is a demonic attack, or a side effect to the medicine I have been taken, or just stress.

 

[Hieronymus]

Seems like personal struggles (maybe enhanced by meds), not demonic.

 

[HjartaoHamast]

That could be a bit of both. Your medicine could be causing you to be angry. It would be good to pray and see if there is another solution for your health. You don't want this to affect your work.

I would read Psa 91 and asks Yahweh to protect me. Also, would asks Him for the interpretation. "Do not interpretations belong to God?" (Gen 40:8)

 

[evangelicalsabbatarian]

Sirach 34:1-7

34 Foolish people are deceived by vain hopes, and dreams get them all excited. 2 A person who pays any attention at all to dreams is like someone who tries to catch shadows or chase the wind. 3 What you see in a dream is no more real than the reflection of your face in a mirror. 4 What is unreal can no more produce something real than what is dirty can produce something clean. 5 Dreams, divination, and omens are all nonsense. You see in them only what you want to see.a]">[a] 6 Unless the Most High has sent you the dream, pay no attention to it. 7 Dreams have misled many people; they put their faith in them, only to be disappointed.

The dreams in Gen 20, 31, 37, 40, 41, Judges 7, I Kings 3, Daniel 2-4, Matt 1, 2, were to be paid attention to.

 

[faroukfarouk]

The dreams in Gen 20, 31, 37, 40, 41, Judges 7, I Kings 3, Daniel 2-4, Matt 1, 2, were to be paid attention to.

I think it's fair to say that in those days the canon of Scripture was not yet complete; today, with God's authoritative Word in Scripture being their for our benefit, whatever indications or sense of guidance which might be deduced from dreams will not contradict or overrule Scripture, even if the person in convinced that they come from God.

This quote is of course from the Apocrypha; but I understand your scepticism about dreams.

 

[tturt]

Yahweh continues to use dreams as a means of communication.

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams." Acts 2:17

 

[Daniel Marsh]

see your doctor about the meds.

I was a Master Teacher. What you are describing is the frustrations of Teaching. When I went to Bed, I played praise music to set the mood of my dreams. Also, speak with a Counselor about this for other methods of dealing with those frustrations.

 

[Daniel Marsh]

In context Psalms 91, it is about God protecting you from his Judgments like He did in the Exodus.

It is not about protecting you from Bad Dreams.

Psalm 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.


Psalm 63:6 when I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

 

[Staj2016]

It could just be from stress, medications, things you watch on TV or the internet during the day.
