I know of some people that have those bad dreams when you feel like you are being chased by some evil presence. You try to run, but you just start to run slower. I've never nor know of someone that had turned around to face this evil presence. I used to get these dreams often. But lately ~3-5 years now I have been having a different kind of dream.
I'm lying in my bed and my room is arranged exactly the way I remember it before I fall asleep. It feels more real than any other dream. In fact, it doesn't feel like I'm dreaming. I can't move and feel an evil presence on my body holding me down. I try to yell out, "In the name of Jesus Christ, I rebuke you! Leave me!." I can't even yell it in my mind. Eventually after 3-5 attempts I finally yell it and feel the presence back off and then I wake up. It feels so real that the only way I know I was dreaming is because I "wake up." Well it doesn't feel like I wake up from a nap. It feels strange. Sort of like a change in consicousness. I have these dreams 3-5 times a year for the last 3-5 years.
But now last night, I got another dream that was different. I was in my apartment, but everything in my apartment was exactly the way it is in real life. I used to get dreams of my home, but there would always be something different. A room in a different place or furniture switched around. Anyways, this dream had my apartment like it is in real life. I was walking down my hallway and then a black image that felt like an evil presence appeared from my room and came face to face with me. I felt overwhelmed and dropped to the ground to cower. I didn't drop to bow, instead it was a drop out of fear. Like a curled crouch. I don't know why I didn't run. It felt so real, but then in a split second I was on my bed with the same evil presence pressing against my body. This is so wierd. At this point everything felt so real, but then I realized that this had to be a dream because one instance I'm in the hallway and instantly I'm now in my bed. I try to yell out, "In the name of Jesus Christ, I rebuke you!" It eventually left and I "wokeup".
If anyone that's had these kinds of dreams, please let me know if you have ever turned around after running to face the evil presence. Or if you've come face to face with an evil presence and stood your ground.
I've reread the "Armor of God" in Ephesians 6: 10-17. Next time I will be ready to stand my ground and fight. Please pray for me. Thanks.
