Before you call the priest over to your house let’s break down what it actually means to be possessed in your dream. Possession dreams are fairly common yet vivid nightmares that may jolt you out of sleep. These dreams revolve around you our people being possessed by a negative force or entity that you have little or not control over.
So does this mean you are actually possessed? Answer: Yes. Yes you are…. We are all possessed actually, but never by the devil or a doll running around trying to kill you. The possession in your life is often metaphoric to something you have absolutely no control over, often times unconscious to you. If you are possessed in your house reflects an internal struggle that needs fixing.
Possession Dreams
Dreams have an interesting way of creating certain symbols as metaphors, thus sending them in bizarre ways for you to get the point. The scarier the dream suggests the more you are ignoring the problem.
These dreams are usually connected to your own unconscious behaviors that are posing issues in your life, family or relationships. Alternatively, by reflecting on some of these controlling traits helps identify the cause of the dream.
Possession Dream Symbolism
- Anger or outbursts
- Addictions
- Fears or bullying
- Drugs or alcohol
- Negative thinking
- Obsessions
- Relationships or toxic people
- Neurotic behaviors
- Past experiences
Wait…Did You Just Watch A Horror Movie?
Before we start to investigate further it would be helpful to know if you recently watched a horror movie. Dreams have a tendency to relive what you may have watched the night before. Watching horror movies like Annabelle or Exorcist increase the chance of you being possessed in your dream.
Possession Dreams: Human Shadow
According to analytical psychologist Carl Jung believed that everybody has a shadow that has either been repressed or ignored. The possession in your dream might bring your attention to the dark parts of your personality that has control over you.
The shadow is a manifestation of all the repressed or unconscious urges, behaviors and emotions trapped inside wanting to be noticed. Despite the graphic or disturbing theme of your dream it has a purpose to help guide you to shine light on these dark places.
- Aggressive impulses
- Taboo mental images
- Shameful experiences
- Immoral urges
- Irrational wishes
- Unacceptable sexual desires
- Fears
The main purpose behind your dream is for you to address these weaknesses that are prevalent in your life. By shining light on the dark areas of your personality the possession loses it’s strength and will eventually leave your body.
Possession Dreams: Casting The Demon
Is it possible something has manifested negatively where you are unable to let it out? Furthermore being possessed mirrors all your hidden emotions that have completely trapped you. You might have trouble expressing these feelings and they come out in other ways.
Society might have shaped you to hold on to these feelings your entire life. Suppressing your emotions may spare others the discomfort of having to deal with your feelings, bottling it all on the inside can cause more damage.
The anger or rage that has been festered inside reflects that of a possession; the inability to be yourself, someone who you are not. Your body has been taken over by an entity that has chosen to posses you. These dream should not be considered a ‘bad dream’, but a positive dream shedding light on the emotions that have taken complete control over you.
In essence your higher self wants you to fix this internal issue so you can metaphorically rid this demon out of your body (mind). If this problem is not addressed the dream will become recurring causing long term phyical and psychological damage to your well being.
Common Possession Dreams
Friends or Family: Often times you will notice a friend or close family member being possessed by the devil. These dreams appear to possibly show you a change in their behaviour. They might be changing in ways you feel that are not good for them. You might feel that something has gotten into them or they are being controlled by a force they cannot understand.
Child Possession: This can be an interesting dream symbol that might be hinting that the child could be you. The term ‘inner child’ refers to the trapped child in every adult that has been stuck in time due to a past childhood traumatic event in their lives.
This child haunts you because have been neglecting this hurt and pain and needs to be attended. You can rescue this child by doing inner child work which is the process of going back to the time when you where effected by some event. The child will continue to haunt you until you acknowledge this kid that is trapped inside.
Exorcism: These dreams might not be so bad after all. When its time to call a priest in you might be acknowledging what is inside and now it time to get out! You need to make peace with your demons so you can move on with your life.
Doll Possession: A symbol that brings you back to your childhood, or perhaps you just finished watching a scary movie. Dreams about possessed dolls often leads you to examine your inner child.
In my dream my husband was holding me back from going into the house. When he finally let me go and I went in there were 4 little girls with glowing eyes. They were each trying to hold the other back saying take me I’m the good one, please help me. And that’s when I woke up. I was so bad that I woke my husband up and he said I was mumbling and muttering in my sleep stuff that he couldn’t understand. Any explanation of why I was dreaming this?
I had a dream that I was in a bathroom at the first stall on the toilet. A girl squatted in front of me and told me there was a problem with my eyes. She wouldn’t tell me but I knew it was that they were black and I was possessed so I told her I know it I’m possessed. She said she could help me and I looked and her right eye was black and her left was clear, as if she has beat it? ( maybe tricking me but I felt no malicious intent from her). I looked… Read more »
I just had a dream that I went to an old Victorian house that was like a plantation turned into a tourist attraction. I went upstairs and was possessed by a female spirit and was flying around. In three different rooms. She stopped and I went downstairs telling people that worked there and they knew of the spirit but I was the only one this happened to. Several workers were trying to make since of it. Then I started singing good vibrations and they recommended I go to cast it out. My dreams are of the future..but metaphoric….anyone?
Hello, I woke up this morning from a scary dream that I’ve never had before in my life. I was working overtime at work and a child we were caring for was watching TV and all of a sudden she became possessed it was very strange dream because she was also making a snack or something. I was with another co-worker and when she became possessed she ran out the door, then we went to follow behind her and she was right at the door and she lunged out at me. As soon as she lunged I woke up. I’ve… Read more »
Mine is actually something’s possessing me behind my back, first i felt my back becoming heavier, then when i ask some help my mouth suddenly twitch i cannot speak properly, next is my right shoulder seems like dislocating by itself, then i jolt up.
In my dream people all around me were getting possessed by demons or the devil. They had black reptilian eyes when they got possessed. I had a team with me, but no one I knew from my walking life. We were chasing after people saving them with prayers to God. I had a moment where the demon was very strong, and I was not sure I could do it, but it was like a message from God that told me that if I have unwavering faith in God, through the prayer the demon or the devil will have to leave… Read more »
I just woke up to a disturbing dream I had, and when that happens I tend to go online and read what the dream is trying to tell me.. so here’s what happened: There was this little boy that I was friends with who was at an orphanage, believed to be possessed. His little sister and I went to check up on him and he was sitting on the bed. Room crowded with children working on a science project, they didn’t care that the boy was different. In front of him was a window with designs and drawings just like… Read more »
Mine’s a bit more fantasy based. I just had a dream about two hours ago (as of typing this). It started out as a decent dream with a fictional character I like (which is quite frequent, I dream of my favorite characters often lol). Not much to complain about. Anyway, I had to fetch something from outdoor prison cells for a character from an anime called Blood+ named Riku. A blanket I think. Eventually it turned into something a little more dramatic and I had to find this key with little Riku’s help (and another person, don’t remember who) in… Read more »
That is amazing you can remember a lot of your dream. You might not be aware of this but anime is so symbolic in our dreams that has more to do with you finding this part of yourself that is unconscious. This is why the key showed up to integrate Riku within you. Read article in search bar Anime. The cell is a metaphoric jail that confines you. With out merging these powerful aspects within you it reflects just like your dream; losing control, fear being replaced with maliciousness, urge to hurt someone because you are weak in this area.
What do you mean by weak in that area though? Like I’m afraid of myself or afraid I might turn into that? (I legitimately have a phobia about that, becoming a monster. I hate the idea of hurting anybody. Whenever I get an intrusive thought like that, I get anxious.) Or because I’m in a battle between my base nature and higher spiritual nature (I’m a spiritual believer), coupled with my anxiety and OCD-like thoughts? In the anime, Riku is a very kind boy. Very intelligent, compassionate, and friendly. And it was no different in the dream. He’s also one… Read more »
My suggesting is to practice mindfulness meditation or cognitive behavioral therapy C.B.T. It is free and very helpful to your mind body and soul.
I had a dream where we were together at my parents’ place for a family gathering. Me and my two youngest brothers (13&18) were in the back, when all of a sudden I got the urge to rush them out of the house. I got them out but next thing I know, I’m on the ground immobile. I finally gain control over most of my body aside from speech. I go find my mother in the kitchen I’m crying my eyes out but I can’t speak. I run outside find my father in floral garden on his knees. I beg… Read more »
If you cannot speak it points towards communication; expression of feelings, emotions or what you see. The possession could be that or some dynamic within your family unit. The floral garden represents growth and the kitchen transformation. So the airport appeared for you to grow and transition, but it might take time. See airport in search bar.
I had a dream about babysitting 2 little girls for this young lady in a lovely apartment. Both her daughters were super young like around 5 or 8 years old. The lady worked long shifts from morning to night. She lived upstairs, her home was fairly decorative kinda like your average home would be. The girls had their own rooms. We decided to watch a movie in the living room don’t remember what movie it was but the girls were sitting on the floor enjoying a snack watching the tv. I suddenly get a weird stomach feeling and automatically turn… Read more »
If I had to guess I would think that this so called little girl belongs to you or what some might call the inner child. Usually in our dreams our inner child needs to be rescued if there was some sort of trauma from your past. Usually the baby sitter connection with being responsible for a vulnerable part of you, or for someone else’s baby. The appt suggests this has been something that has been built over time. We understand that the knife is a known symbol to either cut away or remove something; the throat suggest that this points… Read more »
About a month or a couple of weeks ago I had a dream that I was possessed and I got so scared that I jumped up and prayed and asked god to please not let me have another dream like that and I didn’t until last night but this time it was my sister that was possessed. It started off where we were at a grocery store and I saw some friends who I lost contact with after school and we just talked and had a good time. Then the dream switched and just me and sister were at one… Read more »
The moment you go back to your childhood home somewhere in your mind there is a repressed memory or emotion that haunts you. Houses in dreams often connect the person to the psyche/mind or inner architecture. So what may have affected you might be affecting your sister. This would be reinforced by ignoring the smile. When we ignore things in our dream it tells you that it is seen but left alone. Whenever a knife appears in our dreams it contains elements of removing or cutting away from someone or something. The area that one either cuts or is stabbed… Read more »
Had a dream I was possessed and at first I didn’t know it was me. When the dream began I remember I was surrounded by my family and we kept witnessing paranormal activity like things moving window cracking noises and lights flickering. I recall the background it was always dark cloudy if not raining it was nighttime and as the more we witnessed paranormal activity the more aggressive and louder it got from windows cracking too completely shattering from objects being thrown around the room to family members being chocked or suffocated by sheets or curtains and no one was… Read more »
To me it sounds like it relates to your family – unconscious or hidden movement that is destruction to the psyche/mind. Now if you are told that you are the one causing this it might be an unconscious behaviour that is causing the house to become “metaphorically possessed”. If your family members are being choked or suffocating tells you about stagnation, restriction – sheets and curtains cover things up. So it seems to me you can approach the hidden things that cover/hide end up causing an distortion of your mind, body and soul (or that of others). The dream does… Read more »
Thank you yes my family has been having issues the past months but I live in a diff state from them and I feel like I can’t help maybe that’s why I feel and dream of those things not sure tbh and I don’t watch horror movies my spouse despises that type of movies so I rarely watch them. I do have insomnia so I rarely sleep and when I do I have nightmares and sometimes I can’t remember my dreams at all but I did have this one nightmare where I was in a car with my in law… Read more »
You are welcome Jen. Its quite possible that these feelings of being unable to help are being projected in your dream. Have you done anything to treat your insomnia? In your dream the car could represent your drive (a part of you) where the feelings of being distressed reflect your forward movement. The dream might be correlated with your frustration along with the issues with the family. When you make a U turn it suggest going back (not progressing) as you forgot something (clue). The parking lot tells you about being stationary. To me the dream sounds like it is… Read more »
Hey sorry been busy mentally emotionally struggling lately so I didn’t respond till now but I did in the past have issues with my mother in law after I had a really bad seizure(I’m epileptic) she pretty much saved my life and we kind of of grew a closer connection between us. I did go to the Doc for help with my insomnia but they just recommended taking sleep aid (no help) and then decided to go up on my anti depressants so yeah. Then just the other day I’ve been having multiple dreams where I get shot at again… Read more »
Hello Jenifer sorry to hear about your situation and I am glad you are ok after that seizure. The vivid nightmare might be correlated with the meds you are taking. Based off of the contents in your dream I am not really seeing anything that matches. Though what seems to be playing out is the house (mind/psyche) or inner architecture and possible unconscous issues related to your husband. Guns are often seen as symbols of anger or direct attacks, where as the car reflects a drive or movement. If you are begging for a ride what could that metaphorically be… Read more »
Hey thank you for getting back with me it could be the medication I’m not for sure tho I know now with the new meds they make me super restless and hyper at night so the only way to sleep is with sleep aid/pain reliever and I had another weird dream again last night (no surprise there lol at this point I’m used to it) but I remember it being at my old childhood home and I can’t quite remember if the toddler baby was mine or if I was watching the baby or why I did or what led… Read more »
Hello Jenifer. Just make sure you don’t end up becoming reliant on these sleep aids. I think the dream contains many symbolic images that is taking you back to your own childhood. Whenever we head back to these so called “childhood homesDreams About My Childhood Home” we are going back to the repressed or unconscous parts of us that may have shut off due to some sort of trauma. Now it is possible your dream might be vivid due to the meds, however this part of the dream stood out to me; “baby’s body healed on its own and even… Read more »
I try not to be so reliant of the sleep aids but it’s the only way I can sleep at night although the next day I feel tired and groggy all day with no energy. I do feel like I have a lot of childhood trauma but I have learned to try to heal and forgive those who hurt me and or caused my trauma. I had another dream last night where I was at school with my husband and this other girl who Idk and this teacher and for some reason we didn’t trust the teacher and I can’t… Read more »
“I have learned to try to heal and forgive those who hurt me and or caused my trauma”. The only way we can truly heal and move on. I noticed in the dream about the feeling of being isolated, lockdown and the fever and I thought of Covid. I don’t know if that is correlated or perhaps something to do with your meds. If that is the case would the teacher be your doctors or other health care providers (lacking trust).
The dream might be pulling up a lot of pent up anger (repressed aggression) that is coming out.
It could be ive noticed Im more easily triggered to get irritated quick and frustrated idk if it’s the medicine it’s supposed to help so I don’t get that way but I think it’s made it worse and when I tell my doctors I just feel like they go up on my dose or give me something else. I’m not sure if the meds actually help or just made me numb to my emotions. Idk if it has to do with my bipolar depression that makes me get irritated easily.
Sorry to hear that. Just monitor it for a while and see how it goes. Let me know if you experience anymore dreams and I will try and help you decode them.
Good luck!
A girl I knew passed away in February and for the longest time I didn’t like her it’s a long story and I couldn’t stand her I hated her bc she would always start drama in my life eventually we stopped talking after a year a few days before she passed she sent me a friend request on snapchat I accepted and the night she died (after a year of not talking to her) I slid up on her story she had posted bc she was selling something and I was asking how much it costed and while we were… Read more »
Unfortunate situation. Life is very unpredictable. My advice would be to speak to her before you go to bed and see what unfolds the following nights. You can also explain how you feel and what transpired in the past and what lead up to you blocking her. Take time to resolve these unconscious emotions that are repressed within you. Let me know how it goes and what dreams unfold.
I was inside a big space with my mom. There was an orange room only entered through one side with walls of, some material. They were imitating EQs and bass could be heard slightly from them. I tried to pass through but a large mouth was being formed, followed by some eyes, the face seen on a jack-o-lantern. I was then falling down the room but was lifted up and attempting to scream. My mom tried to come save me but she too got possessed. Any thoughts? Quick mention, I watched a video on a face forming if you go… Read more »
Hello Tyler. It is quite possible you have incorporated the context from the video of the face forming. However it still seems symbolic enough to decode. I have to ask you one question. If your mom is possessed in your dream it becomes metaphoric for being controlled by something that makes it hard for her to help you. When you fall down you are not grounded and was lifted up (clue) that might relate to this situation.
I had a dream I was inside a dark house it seemed to be nighttime but I was unsure. I was in a room with someone I assume was my sister, I couldn’t really tell. Strange poltergeist events were happening around the room and when I went to explore the house all around the house as well. There was laughter like a little girl/boy as objects were being thrown and doors were opening. The objects that were thrown weren’t thrown at me just around and the doors weren’t opened aggressively. When I got back to the room my sister said… Read more »
The problem is in the mind (house) which either remains unconscious (dark) – objects being thrown (movement/unseen) – girl/sister (feminine). Notice you said the doors where not open then you opened a door (relating to this situation) an opening to find out something (see doors in dreams). I love this part “She turned around and wasn’t deformed or disfigured but looked extremely tired”. This is a major clue, she is a part of you (feminine attributes) that needs to be examined. Men can dream of women as a part of them as the psyche contains duel parts. So what is… Read more »
Quick question Can you name one thing that exists outside of the mind independently? No This by simple definition is a dream. Now that we have acknowledged this is a dream. We can now move forward as Painters on a canvas with no center and no edge. Suffering a brain injury after being run over by a police truck responding to an emergency everything by necessity became simple. Every past experience simply academia. Non-functional. Every equalizing filter in constant flux. Where does one begin when they don’t know how to shower in the physical sense. Everyone around you doers of… Read more »
“Everyone around you doers of good with programs of dependency”.
True
there is a program for every thought.

I had a dream where I was possessed. I could see the demon lying in my skin and waiting till night to strike and take over. Once I fell asleep, it went on a rampage. It hurt my dog, and went after my parents. I was struggling to take control and at some point I thought it was me who caused the pain and that is was no demon, but just me. I thought it was gone but it just lied in wait deeper inside of my body where I couldn’t see it.
I had a dream I was back living with my parents, it was night. The house was old and creepy not one I’ve been in. I was my current age as an adult, something didn’t feel right and I called my mom. She eventually came and stood at the side of my bed, she was half awake and looked at me and said my eyes and head hurt. She looked odd, I grabbed her suddenly by the arms and screamed get out. The out was very drawn out and as my voice got louder and the sound drew out further… Read more »
I had a dream I was in my room but it was really dark and then I felt something trying to keep me in place like a dark entity and normally people can’t move when that happens but I was able to scream and move out of it, and then once I got up I was floating. I started to fly around my room, and I looked in a mirror. Once I did I noticed I had these huge dark marks under my eyes (maybe it was mascara) i don’t know. But anyway I wasn’t scared of it I was… Read more »

I had a dream I was visiting my friends apartment and she was showing me around. She said not to go to the living room it might be haunted or someone there. I immediately felt possessed and felt like I couldn’t control my body I was screaming inside. We went to the apartment again with more friends later on and the same thing happened. This time there was a dog and the thing I was possessed by told me his name. I had pain in my sides when this happened. I felt it leave my body in the dream. Woke… Read more »
