Reoccuring dreams of spirits

[kyleextreme]

Hey, so I have been having some reoccuring dreams the last few years I was hoping people could help give me some insight about. I grew up in a strange environment of haunted houses and what not. Never affected me as a kid as most activity involved around my siblings. Anyways about 2 years ago I had some intense fear and anxiety set in when I stopped drinking. Mostly a fear of demons and whatnot. It has gotten a lot better and I am not really fearful anymore now it''s really just dreams and I am a lot closer to God then before. My intense fear was when i felt like God was telling me to change my life so I did

Anyways the dreams started about 2 years ago. It started off that I would dream that I was back at my parents house and I would always confront a spirit there. I would wake up right when it would come up to me (just like a shadow or whatever). Well these dreams progressed over the years to me getting less fearful of it to the point where I remember telling it to leave the house in the name of Jesus. I almost did this consciously.

After that dream I had another dream I was back at the house and I was watching TV and the spirit knocked on the door. I woke up. Then just recently I have had just random dreams of spirits, nothing overly scary. Like my ex-g/f's face mutated all evil like and I woke up.

These dreams used to really bother me, not as much anymore. I notice them when I feel anxious or anxiety. I am not stressed but I get anxiety sometime about falling asleep if I have to wake up early, then my brain associated anxious feelings with creepy things like spirits so the dreams onset.

In some of my dreams it feels like I might be a paranormal investigator of the sorts. I really try to avoid watching the shows and everything but God keeps sending people in to my life that seems to have issues with spirits.

Anyways, any advice is appreciated.

I totally feel like Constantine.


These spirits are basically in the business of boundaries, which means they are doubt, fear, and illusion. Confusion.

You need to get to a place of no fear. And that means no judgment. No condemnation. To see people as they really are. Not in a place of fear.


Cling to the teachings of Jesus like your lifeboat. Keep them everyday. Apply them. Above all else.


Seek the good. Confusion, evil... not worth much to look into. People get trapped. Fascinated. Looking into the abyss. Contemplating hell.


Look elsewhere. Look for the good.

You can also ask Jesus and God to take away the anxiety, you're in control.

So true.

Perfect love casts out fear. We don't possess perfect love on our own -- God grants us His, and allows us to live far above our human circumstances when we connect with Him. Like a daisy-chained USB cable.

There are a few angles that come to mind, but I want to bring up one for you to think about. The talk of spirits was very familiar to you when young. It was the unknown, things that people assumed were there, but popped up randomly and at their own will.

This unpredictability left you out of control. You could work toward control, but always have this lingering expectation that something unknown could turn the tables. In real life, that is very true; but if we allow caution to overtake our approach, we will not have real goals or progress.

A dream reverting to your childhood home could be that feeling of second-hand authority again... inevitably someone else will get to choose the direction you are headed.

Look at the dream of your ex. Did her personality or decisions put you out of control often? Trying to keep her happy, but not feeling like there was a fair balance?

With this outlook on the dreams, the spirits would just be symbolic of outside forces always getting in the way.

On the supernatural side, it can be very empowering when we start to see the authority God gave us in the unseen realm. It is matter-of-fact, His laws and policy that granted us the authority.

There is no chance that we as humans will overpower or outwit a supernatural being (unless there are supernatural insect beings that are tiny and have no brains). It is not by might or power that we can deal with spirits that harass us. It is just wa-a-ay out of possibility.

But using the authority that God has given you, as His child, ambassador for Christ, holy priesthood... you can say anything and it needs to be respected.

When an ambassador represents a country, they take on whatever mantle is needed to get the job done. A week before they are appointed, they have no authority at all. Then suddenly when given a task, they are in the handful that rule the world.

But this authority is not about power. It is about establishing His perfect love wherever God plants us. We use this authority to protect others, to bring fairness into situations, to prevent spirits from harassing and condemning others.

Jesus gave you the authority to set people free.

It's funny you say that because I actually do sleep with Christian music on. I actually have for over a year. I still have those dreams. I have determined they are anxiety based. I only have anxiety at night. It's up and down. It is better than it used to be. I have reached to God to help me and I have faith it will improve.
