Well, you need to consider that you can't both believe in demons and believe against the Catholic Churches defences against demons. No other Religion has put quite the same efforts into demon fighting as the Catholic Church (I think that Demons have been in large part attracted to attacking Catholics because of the great tension within the Church between the glorious influences of the Blessed Virgin Mary in contrast to the antichristical doctrines of paul which all of the Bishops prefer). But, yes, the Catholic Church has a great deal in it for fighting and repelling demons.
Find a Catholic Goods Store or Catholic Book Store and buy the following: get a crucifix for your front door and for the wall of the room in which you sleep. Get a Miraculous Medal http://www.amm.org/medal.htm and then get a Saint Benedict Medal http://www.osb.org/gen/medal.html . In a nice small Catholic Bookstore on the poor side of town, these will cost practically no money at all. Our Lady the Blessed Virgin again shows a special patronage and protection to those who wear the Brown Scapular http://www.catholic-church.org/apcarmel/scapular.htm
You might buy a small statue or picture of Saint Michael the Archangel, the enemy of Satan and the Commander of the Legions of Angels whose express purpose is the destruction of Demons. Other Holy Pictures and Statues might suggest themselves to you, as you look around. If you find just the right shop, where the owner is also the store manager, then you will have somebody who will be able to enthusiastically answer any of your questions.
I also wear the chords of both Saint Joseph http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/saintj01.htm who is not specifically mentioned as a Power against Demons, however, I've been assured that there are not any more powerful Intercessionary Saints in Heaven than Saint Joseph. I also wear the chord of Philomena http://www.philomena.us/story_of_filomena.asp
So, you can infer by now that one should not have to go up against Demons alone, but that one can enlist the Aid of Intercession from the Holy Spirits and Heavenly Entities and Influences in order to combat those that are evil.
Which brings us to basic definitions. Evil essentially is defined in its selfishness, individuality, independence and pride. Evil is predatory and wishes to advance itself by attacking, draining or exploiting others. Selfishness is Demonic. Goodness, on the other hand is Unifying and Collective. The first impulse of Goodness is to stand with friends and community. In your case, it is the instinct of those in Heaven to jump in and offer their services and protections for you. But this requires that you be One of Them, and not one of the others. You must renounce Evil and Selfishness and express your vowed inclination to be forever after a Member of the Community of Goodness on Earth and in Heaven. You must choose sides. Choose the Side of Goodness and Community and the Powers of Intercession and Protection will soon come and your dreams will show every indication of Spiritual Patronage and Sponsorship.
