To dream about demons or a dream of demons is more common than you think, as many people who consider themselves believers tend to have them, this is because the more we want to get closer to God, the angrier the enemy becomes.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”. –Ephesians 6:12
So as long as we are on the right path of salvation, we might be dealing with such things, however, do not fret, because If God is for you, no one can be against you.
What Does It Mean When You Dream Of A Demon?
Well, to dream of a demon can mean several things, depending on the context of the dream, but the overall spiritual meaning of a dream about a demon is Spiritual Attack.
Seeing demons dreams spiritually suggests that the enemy is not asleep when it comes to your matter. They’re working day in and out to frustrate all your efforts, however, the end of all demon dreams reveals exactly the meaning of that dream. So the main question is what was happening with the demon in the dream?
What does it mean to fight with demons in a dream
We established in the introduction what an encounter with demons in the dream could mean spiritually, and we arrived at spiritual attacks as our answer. So to fight with demons in a dream suggests War.
The kind of war is what may not be clear as we do not know the context of your dream. It could be a war against self, and against your flesh or against powers not known to you
War against Self
If you happen to have a dream about evil spirits, or demons, depending on the kind you see, sometimes it may be in a form as simple as yours, however, the attitude is way different from normal, and sometimes it could also look exactly like you.
So you’re like a twin in your dreams, the only difference is that one is a demon who isn’t behaving the way you usually behave, now dreams like this suggest that you are at war with your negative self. The self that prefers the diminishing of flesh to spiritual growth.
The self that doesn’t want to do anything to work out their salvation, you are fighting that demon, because they do not even want the best for you. Spiritually, you’re trying to take back authority in your life, and it may be difficult for you if you’re not equipped with the word because the word of God is Light and Power.
Spiritual battles
To dream about fighting more than one demon suggests that you have been locked in some sort of battle spiritually, this represents an oppression by the enemy, and they are up to no good. This is almost the same as a dream about witches, where the enemy is fighting your destiny but you are up to the task.
Sometimes we may run away from troubles in the physical, however, if we are strong spiritually, and are equipped with prayer and the word of God, we can deal with our enemies spiritually, because God will give us the power.
So to stand and fight demons in the dream already suggests that you are not at your weakest, the question is do you win? or were you defeated in the dream?
Fighting demons in dreams suggests that you may be experiencing some form of challenges and setbacks in your life, and you are ready to take them back, it could also suggest that you have given room to the enemy to see you as weak or take you for granted.
You’re trying to break loose of any shackles that the enemy has used or is planning to use to hold you down in a certain place. You might experience this dream of fighting with a demon if you’re tired of where you’re at in life and want to do better, or when you are undergoing a spiritual deliverance session for yourself or others.
Dream about a demon chasing you
A dream about demons chasing you spiritually connotes the powers that are against you, it may not necessarily be witchcraft in persons, but it could be an attack on your personal and spiritual life.
In this case, demons may represent, immorality, addiction, laziness, backbiting, adultery and so on, those demons chasing you represent those spirits that are not of God, unclean spirits that are very much a part of your life then.
To be chased by a demon in your dream can show you what has gone wrong in your life. For example, if you’ve been experiencing loss in your finances or family, the demons chasing you represent the devourer that is after you and everything that concerns you.
If you were running away from them, this suggests that they see you as weak, and someone that they can keep tormenting, if you stand and fight them, then they know that you’re not to be toyed with, but you can only do this if you’re very strong spiritually and you can only get here by studying God’s word, and also through prayers.
Dream of having sex with a demon
Now this is another dimension of oppression by the enemies.
11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
As a spiritual-minded person, the dream of having sex with a demon should be as clear as can be, that it is satan playing tricks with your destiny. Having sex with a demon in the dream signifies problems in your marriage, finances, relationships and so on.
It could also reveal that you have been betrothed to a spiritual spouse, and a spiritual spouse means that if you’re married, your marriage will encounter a lot of challenges that may end up destroying the marriage, e.g a miscarriage, whichever way, a loss is paramount unless you wake up and begin to destroy those powers that have decided to hold you bound in the name of Jesus.
Without that, progressing in your marriage, business, and finances, may prove to be very difficult if not impossible. However, you need to be aware that there is a person or people involved in this, and whoever it is, has to be very close to you, and may even be envious of you. The bottom line is that they know you so well.
Dream of killing a demon
Killing a demon in a dream shows that you have won the spiritual battle that we talked about in the earlier section. If you have been battling spiritual attacks from time to time, a dream of killing a demon finalizes those dreams, because it suggests that God has given you victory over your enemies, and congratulations are in order!!
However, being defeated by demons in the dream suggests that you may begin to experience misfortune, powerlessness and even stagnation because being defeated means that the presence of God is absent in your life and the presence of sin and evil is very much available in your life.
Dream of being a demon
To dream of being a demon is a form of satanic oppression. This has been perpetrated by the enemy, to cause dishonour to you and your family. If you see yourself as a demon in your dreams, then it means that you may find it hard to receive favour in life.
Your dream of being a demon represents a satanic or evil mask that has been worn on you, that would make people not want to render any help to you.
Dream about demons while pregnant
Sometimes, pregnancy causes women to have a lot of weird dreams, because of the fear they feel, so that fear could be manifested in the form of demon dreams.
However, no dream should be taken lightly, so if you had a dream about demons while pregnant, spiritually it may suggest the invasion of evil spirits as regards your pregnancy or baby, they are trying to possess what does not belong to you, in this case, what matters is if you let them or not.
Depending on the context of your dream about demons while pregnant, it may portend loss or looming danger, you have to be very careful and prayerful so that the plans of the enemy will not prevail.
Conclusion
Dreams about demons connote nothing good spiritually or physically. Demons do not have any good reputation so seeing one should not be a cause for worry, rather, it should be a reason to put on your whole armour of God, because you’ll need it.
