but I had a strange dream two nights ago
in this dream I was in my kitchen and it was night time and dark I was staring into the laundry room right in front of me it was pitch black in there and I couldn't see anything in there but I could feel or sense that something was in there something dark and even though I couldn't see it I knew it was staring at me.
At the same time whatever this thing was it was keeping me down on my back as if gravity has intensified and no matter how much I fought back it kept pinning me down again even if i nwas nearly able to sit up all the way i would end up on my back again.

I instinctively closed my eyes and just starting talking to God, it wasn't any special rebuking prayer or anything I just started to chat with him as I always do and I could feel the grip and power of this force weakening more and more. and eventually the dream ended. Now I don't know what this dream is about exactly but what I love about it is that instead of giving into fear or trying to fight this thing on my own I instinctively closed my eyes and prayed, but what I also love is that it require a powerful I rebuke thee in the name of the Lord prayer it just took him and I chatting like we always do as we talk about all kinds of things all the time
 
Wow. What an awesome dream indeed! Just goes to show that whenever you have that intimate, building, relationship with God, walking closely with Him, it dispels darkness and binds sin and oppression. That just reminded me of this bible verse in Matthew, where the disciples questioned Jesus on why they couldn't drive out the demon, and it was because they didn't have faith in HIM and were relying upon themselves instead. It's only when we put our faith in God, not a prayer, person, or our own abilities that we see God's power come through. Thanks for sharing this wonderful dream!
 
It was more than just a dream.
You had a visitor but not from a place of light.
Calling on the name of Jesus as Lord is powerful and by faith works.

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:7

Yeah I am no stranger to visitors sometimes all I can do is call out to Jesus and sometimes my tongue is tied so I have to really try hard to say his name other times like this the demon goes away just from interacting with God.
 
Before joining here, I've dreamed Him.
I was behind Him, so I couldn't see Him. He was really tall and I saw His brown hair.
He was wearing a white robe with a string on it.

I was trying to be noticed by Him but I didn't try to call Him , I was unsure... I was worried I would have disturbed Him. I thought that maybe He was going to notice me, but after one minute, He disappeared.
 
I have seen demons and experienced their presence over the years.
They can play games with people who make the mistake of seeking clairvoyants
or believe in friendly ghosts and spirits from their departed family or friends.

Demons are so dark that one can see their shape or silhouette against natural
darkness of night time.
They have no truth and no light within them.

Before I became Spirit-filled and Pentecostal I would sometimes experience
"something" pressing down on my chest and pinning me down.
I was so overwhelmed with fear that I could not speak or move.
At best I could think in my mind Jesus save me.
Eventually the presence would depart.
But I often wondered what this was about. Why would Satan come into my bedroom
and hold me down. What was the point of doing this?

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the
wiles of the devil.
12 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:

My sister as a young teenager was playing Ouija board with other youngies
and suddenly the glass flew off the board and smashed.
She was from that time on haunted by a demon which she described as a shadow
figure that would walk past her bedroom door which was always open to the
light of the hallway.
Some twenty years later I was able to exorcise this spirit and her by rebuking
Satan in the name of the Lord and by also praying in tongues for her house to
be clean and free.

I have often experienced the very same thing, more than once I will be in bed and feel something pressing down on my chest and I cannot move or speak, i also will encounter shadow figures often as well. none of this started happening to me until I became a Christian but I don't just see and encounter demonic things I have even been visited by angels
 
I have never been visited by angels that I know of.
But the Lord has had his hand on me throughout my life, and has
protected and saved me from my own folly more than once.
As God knows tomorrow already I guess Jesus knew that one day at the
right time I would embrace the full gospel of salvation and receive the Holy Spirit.

Once driving back home towards Port Victoria where my family and I resided; I was driving
on the inside of a large blind curve in my trusty Chrysler Valiant, when I suddenly had a
vision of a car coming around on my side of the road (despite double lines).
I took my foot off the pedal and sure enough some five cars came around this curve
on the correct side of the road, BUT one idiot was overtaking them on my side of
the road. So I pulled over to the verge and let him pass.
Without that vision it would have been a head on collision.

Yes looking back over my life I can see times when Jesus (through angels?)
stepped in and saved me from myself.
When I was 40 years of age I wanted to commit suicide and I was lying on a
mattress on the floor in a state of psychosis from my drug taking.
As I was saying to myself how I must die as the way out of all this, a hand of
pure white light came out of nowhere above me and touched me on my forehead.
I instantly fell asleep and when I woke up I felt just so much better.

As you can see I never took up that suicide urge again.
 
I was cured of my sleep walking in a dream. (I get many dreams). :)

I dreamed i was in bed and a light blue small blanket slowly fluttered down
onto me. Only before it touched me I lept out of bed in the dream and
wrapped myself in it and twirled around the room.

Then I woke up and found myself standing in the middle of the bedroom with
my dressing gown on! I really had been twirling around the room!

After that the sleep walking stopped, whereas before I did it 2 -3 times per
night and often 2-3 times in one night.

For me this blue symbolism means the presence of the Holy Spirit.
I see that colour a lot in dreams.
