Meanings When You Dream About A Demon

So, let’s get straight to it and take a look at 21 reasons you might dream of demons.

1. Fighting Demons

There are two different interpretations. The first one is that there is some kind of conflict going on in your life. It could be either at home or at work. Regardless, it is something that you need to take charge of and face head-on.

The second possible meaning of dreams about fighting demons is that some kind of wealth is coming your way. Not only that, but it is also from an unexpected source as opposed to something you have worked for. I like the sound of the last one!

2. Having Sex With Demons

This usually indicates that you are currently finding it difficult to attain the kind of attention you want in your waking life. It might be sexual, but it is more likely to be something else. It could be the inability to find love, possibly admiration, or even wealth.

A dream about having sex with demons also shows a level of underlying lust that you have suppressed. This is most probably because you are scared of how others will see you, specifically those close to you, if they better understand your base instincts.

3. Demons In Your House

Next on our list of Meanings When You Dream About A Demon is dreaming about a demon in your house. This dream can cause a lot of stress and anxiety that is probably an overspill from the way you feel in your waking life.

There is something in your house that is causing a high level of negative energy, and you cannot control your mood and feelings because of it. These emotions are spilling in over into your close relationships and further exacerbating your already fragile state.

Person, object, or situation…

It is likely that there is something around you in your house that is triggering your anxiety and all the negative energy. It is possible that it is an object or a past situation. However, it is more probably related to some family conflict that you still need to fully resolve.

Regardless, you need to find the source of the negativity and expunge it.

4. Demons Chasing You

This might be a symptom of some deep-seated emotional trauma from your past. It could be from just about anything. However, many of these kinds of traumas will often relate back to your childhood and upbringing, though not exclusively so. The demons chasing you in a dream signify that you have never fully addressed these issues.

Instead…

You have chosen to sweep everything under the carpet and just get on with life. A recurrence of this dream is telling you that these problems are not going away and you need to find someone sympathetic, professional or otherwise, to properly put the past where it belongs.

Alternatively, you may be having issues within your marriage or close relationships that have been present for many years and have not been resolved. This has sapped your self-confidence, and you have become mired in a pit of negativity that you cannot escape. In either case, you will not move forward from this until you take some positive action.

5. Growing Demon Wings

Growing demon wings in a dream means that you have or are about to acquire a sizeable amount of wealth. His could be through property or a business venture. On the face of it, this all looks good. However, all may not be as it seems.

The acquired wealth could have been amassed through illegal or dubious means. You are now being warned that this could all come back to haunt you with serious consequences. You now need to address your desires for wealth and fame before things get out of control. Don’t be drawn into future illegal activities for the sake of personal gain.

6. Killing A Demon

It’s good to look at this dream because, so far, there have been so many with negative connotations. Thankfully, dreaming about killing a demon is something you can relax about because it is all good.

So, what does it mean?

Basically, it represents the completion of an important project or task. This could be some kind of business deal or event, the completion of studies, or an artistic enterprise. If it has not already been finished, the probability is that it will be very soon.

This is a good time to think about taking on new responsibilities or putting new plans in motion. Believe in yourself, and don’t worry if you have any anxiety about completing anything you already have in the pipeline. All will be well.

7. Hurt By Demons

You might be suffering from high levels of self-doubt in your personal life. This is most likely due to a conflict with your romantic partner. Emotions are probably running high between you, and you are in a period of escalating problems and issues. Wherever you turn, you can’t seem to get a break, and all the psychological hurt is following you around wherever you go.

If you have been stabbed by a demon in a dream, this can indicate that all of the negative emotions in your relationship are in a critical state. You are at a breaking point, and the complexity of the feelings that you are dealing with looks insurmountable. You need to take action and try to repair the weakened bonds between you and your partner before it is too late.

8. A Demon In Water

Next on this list of Meanings When You Dream About A Demon is dreaming about a demon in water. And I’m sorry, folks, but this is another negative dream.

This signifies that you might currently be at the wrong end of some kind of crime or bad deed. It could be that you are not even aware of it and that it will all come to light in the future.

The truth is…

You need to take a long hard look at the people around you to ensure that their intentions toward you are decent and honorable. If nothing has yet transpired or does not seem likely to be in the works, you still need to be on your guard.

Be careful when interacting with people you don’t know well, and do not be too trusting. This is more the case when there are higher stakes involved.

9. Talking To A Demon

You may currently be in a social circle with high levels of negative energy. The people around you may not have your best interest at heart and could be trying to deceive you.

If you’re talking to a demon in a dream, it is possible that you are being subject to a series of lies by the very group of people you think you can trust. You may already have attempted to test the level of trustworthiness within this possibly dangerous group.

However…

You have still been able to come to a clear and decisive conclusion. Your level of tolerance and patience may further be tested, so be prepared to weather the storm. Ultimately, you will prevail and find a way to deal with situations and people around you in a positive way that benefits you.

10. Showing Loyalty To A Demon

This is one of the more neutral dreams about demons. Showing loyalty to a demon means that there have been some changes at work. This could be in your working practices, in your own position and responsibilities, or it could be due to a change in management.

It is likely that you have already anticipated the changes and that you are fully prepared for any work-related consequences. Your cooperation with the demon shows a willingness to embrace the new order, which in turn will lead to a harmonious work environment for you.

11. A Family Member Possessed By A Demon

This dream is literally close to home and is directly related to your home and family life. It is likely that you have had some serious conflicts and disagreements within the family. It could be with anyone in your extended family though it is most likely to be the family members living directly under your roof.

Take a minute to analyze…

The real-life conflict is spilling over to your dreams, and you should begin to analyze the source of the arguments and disharmony. You might need to readdress your approach and stance since it could be possible that you need to consider the other person’s position.

Be prepared to be flexible in order to resolve the arguments. Try to find common ground, and you will find that the others involved will likely also be willing to compromise to bring the matter to a close.

12. Dancing With A Demon

You are in a position of power that is most likely associated with work. Because of this, you are able to get people to dance to your tune. This could lead to advancement in your career, such as a promotion at work in the near future. There is no real downside to any of this because however you deal with your subordinates, you will still come up smelling of roses.

You are on a winning streak, and your luck at work and home shows no sign of stopping anytime soon. Just remember, though, that what goes up will eventually come down at some point. Therefore, it is not a bad idea to keep people on your side on the way up in case they do you harm if you, unfortunately, come down at some stage.

13. Dreaming Of Demons When Sick

Although many think this is a negative dream, I prefer to see it as a potentially important warning. Dreams about demons while you’re sick is a sign that you should treat your health seriously.

It isn’t that your current illness is necessarily life-threatening, but there might be something else going on that requires closer inspection.

However…

If you have some kind of ongoing condition, you should prepare yourself for some bad news. Things may take a turn for the worse, but you should prepare yourself to stand up to the problems and take appropriate remedial action.

Take your health and fitness more seriously, and if you have any doubts about your current state of health, you should consult a doctor or suitable health professional. You should also see this as an opportunity to improve your general exercise and diet regime.

14. Dreaming Of Several Demons

Something very chaotic is going on in your life. You may have a huge number of projects going on, and you are currently finding it very difficult to juggle all the balls in the air at the same time.

You should focus on what is important and try to let go of things that are not essential and can wait. Be reassured that this time will quickly pass and the status quo is not too far down the line.

Alternatively…

You may be in a very fragile state of mind. Emotional and psychologically, you may feel at a low point with your problems feeling overwhelming. It may be that you aren’t even aware of some of the sources of conflict.

It is, therefore, important to calmly find the time and space to identify where the stresses are coming from so that you can effectively begin to deal with them.

15. Bargaining With A Demon

This can be one of three possible meanings, and in each case, you need to tread carefully. In the first instance, a dream about bargaining with a demon can indicate that you exert a lot of influence over other people. It might be that you are in the position of a boss, the head of a household, rich, or possibly very charismatic.

Whatever the reason, you can easily bend other people to your desires. If this is the case, you need to be careful not to take people for granted and use your position to their detriment.

Otherwise…

You might have been experiencing a lucky streak. Everything you do goes well, and you can’t seem to put a foot wrong in your waking life. Enjoy the good fortune but make sure that you don’t ride your luck carelessly because you can bet that the future will hold bumps in the road.

Finally, you may have been taking on too many tasks and projects and also unduly risking your position and livelihood. This is the same as riding your luck, and you need to be aware that it is not something that can ever be sustainable and may end in tears.

16. You Are Possessed By A Demon

There are dark forces at work that are pulling you down in all aspects of your life. However, in this instance, you don’t need to search very hard to isolate your enemy. That is because the evil at work is all down to yourself.

For whatever reason…

The negative forces, feelings, and emotions have taken over, and you are acting on these rather than on more empathetic traits. You need to identify what internal or external factors have stretched you to the point of revealing this poor version of yourself.

You must then eradicate the negativity and get yourself back on a more even keel. Be warned because the road you are currently walking is a very dangerous one indeed.

17. Feeding A Demon

This is a dream of death. It is a particularly nasty dream and one of the worst on my entire list. If you have this dream, it is fair to say it will feel more like a nightmare than anything else.

If you are feeding the demon…

It is a sign of possible death through either some kind of accident or disaster. Take this as a high-level warning and do everything you can to exercise extreme caution in your daily life.

If someone else is feeding a demon in a dream, then the same will apply to them. Under these circumstances, it can be very difficult to issue a warning, as many people are not open-minded about the significance of dreams. All you can do is try your best and try to convince them that you feel this is a definite threat to them.

18. Someone Turns Into A Demon

This is a dream that brings into focus your selfishness. It is about the secrets and the characteristics that you try to hide from others in order that people will still like you. These thoughts are likely to have been buried deep inside of you but are now coming to the surface, and you are eager to continue suppressing them.

Alternatively, if the person that turns into a demon is someone you know, it points to conflict. There is something wrong in your relationship with them, and this has now reached the point of causing anger and stress to both parties.

19. Demons Attacking You

Demons attacking you in a dream show a threat to your mental well-being. There is something in your life that you see as a negative force. It has come to such a point that you may submit to a wall of negativity.

The dream of demons attacking you is a warning that unless you take stock, you could become a pessimistic version of yourself. Don’t give in to the emotions and fight hard to maintain your positivity to avoid becoming a cynical person that no one wants to have to deal with.

20. You Are Surrounded By Demons And Cannot Move

This dream means that you may be conflicted with your own thought and emotions. You cannot think straight and cannot see a way out of your problem and issues. At the present time, you continually flip between two extremes that have very different outcomes.

You need to search harder for the middle ground to avoid conflict. If you do not find a suitable compromise, you will find it difficult to move on, or move as your dream about being surrounded by demons is suggesting, and you may end up in a worse situation. This is because inertia may set in, which may be the worse option of all.

21. A Demon Is Choking You

If a demon is choking you, it could be that someone close to you has betrayed you in some way. Alternatively, it might be that you have a conflict with a family member or loved one. In any event, you need to tread carefully and be cautious with people whom you think might do you harm.

If the person you are suspicious of is not a close family member, you should try to avoid them. If they live in the same household, you need to limit the amount of information you give them till you can be sure that no betrayal is afoot. The demon choking you in a dream is meant as a shock to get you to act.
