In Slavic mythology, demons are evil spirits that harm people and are responsible for their various misfortunes. The demon has a similar meaning among European peoples. In general, belief in demons and fear of them have existed among people since ancient times, along with other pagan ideas about the world around them.
After the spread of Christianity, the description of this unclean spirit changed somewhat when pagan demons were combined with images of demons, but it also remains dangerous and hostile to humans. However, if you dream of a demon, the dream does not always predict something bad. Its interpretation can be favorable. In order not to be scared in vain, the dreamer should know how and what vision to evaluate and act after it.
Why do you dream about a demon?
A demon appears in a dream, according to dream books - to troubles in life. If you dream of being possessed by demons, this foretells a trial. To dream about demons is a sign of disappointment. If the demon you dreamed of had horns, minor difficulties will prevent you from achieving your goal. Demons and evil spirits in a dream mean temptation. Casting out a demon in a dream means the desire to achieve popularity. If a man dreams of a demon that has possessed him, he will be in an awkward situation. A woman sees herself as a demon in a dream - she will finally be able to solve an old problem.
Interpretation according to Old Russian Old Slavonic dream books.
According to Slavic beliefs and traditions, in order to correctly interpret what a demon is dreaming of, one must pay attention to how it behaves and what happens to it. Very often, a dream can promise a lot of good things, but only if it is understood correctly. The following matters for this:
- demon size;
- behavior;
- what happens to him;
- general form.
Explanations for what they saw differ for men, women and children. However, for all of them, a dream about an evil creature can be both a bad and a good sign. Regardless of how a particular dream is interpreted, you should not be afraid of it. A dream in itself is not capable of harm.
It is only a harbinger of those events that a person can always influence if he is warned in advance. Typically, such a dream warns about what is to come for up to 2-3 days in advance, and therefore, after they pass, you should not remember what you saw.
For women.
Old Russian Old Slavonic traditions claim that if a woman saw a demon committing some dirty trick in a dream, this means that an envious woman from among her friends is preparing serious intrigues against her. It’s worth taking a closer look at your friends and, noticing suspicious actions on their part, taking action immediately. When you dream of a demon doing something funny, or when he harms himself while plotting against a person, this promises good luck in the near future.
It itself will not be significant, but it will positively affect the course of many matters that are important to the dreamer. If the dreamed demon is very large, then the woman should be wary of any major financial loss. Such a warning will be useful if you pay attention to it in time.
When the unclean one is small in size, it promises a small income from an unexpected business. For a pregnant woman, dreams with demons are interpreted in the same way as for a non-pregnant woman, and they have nothing to do with the unborn child, so you should not worry about him.
For men.
A man dreams of a demon as a warning about an imminent serious quarrel with friends, which could even escalate into a fight. To avoid this, you should be careful when communicating and if a conflict starts, immediately leave it without aggravating the situation.
If the dreamer defeats the evil one in his dreams, then this is a very good sign. In the near future, a man will experience a sharp increase in social status and significant financial income, which will ensure wealth. If a demon introduces an unmarried man to attractive women in a dream, then he should pay attention to those girls who are next to him.
Most likely, he does not notice his true half and wants to tie himself into family ties with the one who is completely unsuitable. This warning dream helps to avoid an unsuccessful marriage. When a man dreams of a demon that he feeds, this means that the family may lose someone close due to an accident or sudden illness. After the dream, it is best to ensure maximum safety for your family by eliminating dangerous work for the next few days.
For children.
In children's dreams, demons appear if the child is in danger of getting lost in the forest or drowning. Such a prophetic dream warns, and after it the child should not be alone in nature; he must be careful not to forget about safety rules.
You can also dream of evil spirits if one of your friends wants to do something mean to a friend or girlfriend for their own benefit. Usually, such plans in children cannot go unnoticed, and in order not to encounter a problem, it is enough to simply stop communicating with the unpleasant person. In addition, a child, like a man, can dream of a demon even if a fight with friends arises because of some dispute.
Dreaming with a Demon according to the Magic Dream Book
Demons - Evil spirits appearing in various faces: dirty, ugly, playful and evil children, teenagers, human figures with elements of various animals - hooves, horns, tails, etc. Demons mean wrong actions, base plans, desires, activity of passions, vices and harm from them; deception, a trick in some matter (idiom: “the devil has confused you”).
Demons very often manifest themselves only through voices (and not only in dreams). As a rule, these are inciting, abusive, malicious, nasal, nasty voices that create terrible chaos in a person’s mind, disorient the dreamer, and in often cases (if improper work with dreams) can lead a person to a mental crisis, insanity, antisocial behavior, or even suicide .
The image of an apparition of evil spirits
Entities have different appearances. Sometimes they take on material forms familiar to people. But they can also appear in invisible or mystical images:
- The witch dreams of indecisive people who believe in miracles. The dreamer's soft character traits prevent him from moving up the career ladder. The dream does not predict anything bad. You just need to be able to make decisions.
- A werewolf in a dream foreshadows the imminent betrayal of a loved one. In reality, you don’t need to believe every word he says. If an unclean person tried to hug a sleeping person, the person in whose image he came is not trustworthy.
- The brownie indicates the need for changes in life. Higher powers hint to a person that he needs to think about the consequences of his own actions and change his behavior.
- Seeing ghosts means for the dreamer that there is confusion in his soul. If there was no fear, the vision portends that the person will soon find himself in favorable situations. If fear is present, this indicates the need to retire and restore peace of mind.
- Devils and demons predict unusual situations and surprises, as well as imminent problems. If they conflict, the unpleasant situation will be resolved in favor of the sleeper.
- Sometimes the inhabitants of the other world take on the appearance of deceased people. The dreamer must remember whether he experienced a feeling of fear. Deceased loved ones should not cause anxiety. But if this happens, the vision is interpreted as follows: the sleeper experiences a feeling of guilt before the deceased. He needs to let go and forgive himself. You can pray for the deceased in church or give alms.
Demon in V. Samokhvalov’s dream book
A demon appearing in a dream usually predicts disorder and complexity. Often, a demon, like a dreaming devil (see Devil), warns of an upcoming period of difficulties and torment.
The demon may represent the uncontrollable negative part of ourselves, that is, the part that instinctively creates chaos and takes great pleasure in doing so. There may be a loss of control over one's own behavior.
The tempting devil can appear in a dream as a demon or as something annoying.
All kinds of images
It is important to pay attention to the appearance of evil spirits. Sometimes an evil spirit takes on familiar material forms, but can appear in various mystical images:
- Invisible creatures. Ghosts symbolize spiritual disharmony. The presence of fear is advice that you need to be alone and work on restoring peace. The absence of fear foreshadows amazing situations for the dreamer soon. They will fill a person with energy, and his life with many interesting and new things. This is what invisible evil spirits mean in dreams.
- The brownie warns and hints at the importance of lifestyle changes. It is worth thinking about the possible consequences of actions.
- Demons and devils are dreamed of on the eve of serious difficulties. The way out of the situation will be in favor of the sleeping person if the fantastic creatures were quarreling among themselves. Demons also promise surprises.
- A werewolf denotes the possible betrayal of a loved one. If a werewolf was seen striving to clasp his hands in a tight embrace, the person who was dreamed of is not worthy of trust.
- The witch is a frequent guest in the dreams of indecisive people who tend to hope for a miracle. There are obstacles to unlocking potential and moving upward (this may mean spiritual or career growth). You need to take the initiative if you had to read a prayer together with a witch in a dream.
- Deceased people. As a rule, deceased relatives should not cause feelings of fear. And if this happens, the dream is explained as a subconscious guilt towards the deceased. It is recommended to forgive yourself and then let go of the situation.
