malicious being

hello! I hope I do not make this overly confusing... But I shall begin. So essentially it was a two-layer dream, I do not know if this Is significant, but the first layer was my bedroom and the second Layer was a town I do not recognize. In both it was a manifestation of a being I took to be evil. In my room he was merely a shadow, but its when I actually thought I was dreaming he was a very slender man, quite tall anthropomorphic In form but could not have been human.the body was built of Long lines, the head was like a long squashed rectangle. He wore headgear... Sort of a band of hardware held to his head by metal spikes. he had a very ominous presence, he makes me feel desperate. In the first layer, where I am in my room trying to sleep, the shadows I took to be him had Claws and I'd feel it trying to dig into my skin this was accompanied with a very unpleasant sound. after bit of this I would fall asleep to enter this town. In the town it was a semi conscious lucid dream... I could affect change simply, I armed myself, but I didn't have the control to leave the dream (I tried... I felt trapped) or properly protect myself. so I came across this house, and was instructed to go in the back door. When I Entered I encountered a short chubby doctor of sorts. He was offering "medicine" that I knew was poison. I left to re encounter the previously mentioned slender man. They cornered me and the doctor put tablets into a light bulb then turned it on. A gas was created and I started to pass out. Before I did the slender man informed me I was going to die now. I didn't wake up though. I was then in my bedroom.. In the first layer of my dream. I went into my parents' room and my father attacked me. He then tells me "my voice is not my own" in the tone the slender man used.

Throughout this entire night I would periodically legitimately wake up, get water and generally make sure I am awake and fall back asleep when I am sure I am free of the dream... Only to be plunged right back in where I left off.. Same nightmare version of my room.. Same creature coming for me in the ever-changing town.

I don't know how much interpretation can be done on this.... I am more wondering if this was in fact a malicious entity, or perhaps some spin-off of negative emotions/thoughts of mine... A confrontation with a darkened portion of my mind..

THE SHADOW MAN IN THE BEDROOM
Probably, the first layer of your bedroom is your private self in this matter - or the normal known you you are comfortable with.
The second layer may be the outside world in this, or maybe more likely where this man noir lives where you do not recognize and is everchanging - the somewhat out of control dark side of you.

THE MAN THAT WASN'T THERE
In your mind he was a mere shadow.
But when you actually realized this was in your mind, he had form or more reality.
Not human, squsahed thought and very basic maybe. Painful. Ominous, making you feel desperate.
Hard for you to wear.
It clawed at you, dug into you. Very unpleasant.

THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN
Maybe in reality you were semi-conscious of it, so could affect change and defend yourself.
But you were trapped and unable to protect yourself properly.
Maybe you thought poison would stop it. But the part of you that thought this was short, not grown enough, yet overfed or excessive. Strangely opposite to Creepy Thin Shadow Man, who was underfed it seems, which should have made him easy to defeat. But your doctor friend inside you was a fiend in his bad medicine.

Cornered by your demon you confronted, The Man Who Was Indeed There, The Man Who Would Be Cure, put its medicine in the light in your head, turning it on. This poisoned you and made you unconscious. The evil bit said you will die. As surely part of you must die to be rid of it, it's supposed to be the bad part that dies. Not the good.

BACK TO BEDROOM
Now what was good in you attacked you. It had been possessed by the starving Slender Dude.
{Your dream had a creepy twist ending.}

CONCLUSION
So yes, a confrontation with a darkened poison portion of your mind, which then took over you, though you tried to defeat it by lighting it up - yet with poison. But alas, you fell under the spell that you fight evil with poison. It's already poison. You fight it with the opposite. Yes, With good.
Maybe if you just used the light, that would have made the slim slimy shady shadow disappear, man.

{Excuse my computer's attempts at supposedly clever or funny film auto-connections corrections, for which there is no reason or need at all - other than the subject matter stole itself to such softwear.}

Much insight here! I think a lot of this may fit on the scaffolding of my dream/current situation. Now. I would like the opportunity to re-confront this nightmarish scenario... Draw out whatever lays dormant and deal with it properly.... any recommendations?

I seemed to have missed your reply before.

First, draw a pentagram on your floor, and place 5 black candles at each point, but don't light them - yet.
...Perhaps that's not necessary. But if you search for where it started, what caused it, as you look into the mirror to reveal what lies on the other side, you may transform.
I think man's main mistake is fighting his enemy, and so uses his enemy side, instead of seeing what is opposite to it.
If you don't fight or resist the fear or negative, dare to become the fear, courage may enter.
Dare to become the negative in you, because it is you, and don't fight it and intend to see it as it is. Then it may disappear and the opposite take its place.
