Thanks for the constructive criticism "Bro"

That sounds creepy. Did it look like a demon or did you just know that's what it was?

I was in a room, more of a prison cell with gray cinder block walls. A square room but had an open hall
off one side that I couldn't see down.

I was in the room this prison cell with three or four people I knew, but can't remember who. In the corner at the closed end of the room was this demon. It was a boiling shroud of dark like a rolling black fog floating in the air. It was my inner demon.

I knew what this dark entity was by the connection I felt to. This thing, this demon was a part of me.
It had a grip on my soul hard as steel. It was the connection/grip it had on me that kinda scared me, not that it was menacing or going to attack. I say it had a grip on my soul because I felt it in my head like a pressure, but it wasn't just physical pressure it was gripping my soul, my being.


I go blank and then suddenly I'm outside. On the out side of this prison cell, kinda resembling a bank vault with a locked door I could see.
This demon of mine was on the inside. Still I could feel its connection and grip. I could see black fog seeping out the door.

I kept walking back and forth looking at the door. At the fog rolling out feeling this demon in my soul. I tried to ignore it, to walk away, to leave but couldn't. I couldn't quit thinking about the grip it commanded over me.

There was this women(I think) standing near me. She was telling me that I needed to quit thinking about it. To disconnect myself from it. I was trying to ignore my demon, walk away or look away and then I woke up.

Hmm.... Interesting..... I suppose that sounds about right. After all, our brains do tend to give certain aspects of our personality an image. I'd keep that in check

I've had similar experiences. I noticed that, with me as well, it would seem ignoring them most of the time just didn't cut it. Sometimes, entities like this, whether a part of you or not, will exist whether you gave them the attention or not. Sometimes they would demand your attention in terrifying ways.

[All Alone]
[Pedophilia in a Dark Place]

In both of these dreams, a horrifying shape shifter would torment me and act completely different than any other DC I ever encountered. They always seemed to appear in sequence with some kind of emotional trauma occurring in waking life.

I've named the nightmare, "Sam".

EDIT: Come to think of it, each dream was devoid of sound or color as well. And the entity always seemed to break past my defenses and intrude into my personal bubble. I don't let anything do that, ever.

Not at first, but when I noticed it the second time I looked at it, it made me feel cold and sent a chill through me. It was at this moment that I knew this entity was some sort of evil and that it was a part of me. Don't ask how I knew it was a part of me for I can't explain it. I just knew that. It had no eyes nor face nor legs, more of something that couldn't be identified but only through feeling.

Whoa, Scary. Your nightmares. Especially the All Alone one. Who is this Alex? GF?

My demon never took any other shape thankfully, didn't do much but taught me with its grasp on my soul. Not letting go. Never letting go, ever. Or so it felt.
I should think of a name for this demon. I know it had something to do with a friend or friends. No emotional trauma in life lately. When I focused on this demon I lost focus on any other part of the dream. It didn't follow me around either. Just stayed in a prison. But it did keep it's mental claws in my mind.

Now that I think about it, I have had a shadowy DC show up in a few dreams before. Long ago. It was just so short and at the edge of my awareness I completely for got about it. Nothing more that a shadowy human looking form and always 30 yard or so away but this is the first time I've seen something so up close and In my face.

It's a secret dream of mine to make horror films. ;]
And-
Yeah, she's my girlfriend. I recognize I'm pretty emotionally attached.
But she's really important to me.

OH! Yeah- stuff getting in your face like that... it's so shocking. o__-] !
If you really view this thing as a part of you, what do you think about accepting it and loving it? It sounds like an odd thing to do, I know, but it helped me. Hell, I named him Sam. xD
I'm not sure what he represents, but it helped me to deal with the fear aspect of him. I try to think of him as something that appears when there's a lesson I need to learn, or something I need to hear.

Did it show up at the same time as anything in waking life? Or do you think it was trying to tell you something?

It's not a bad thing being so emotionally attached but, I do hope she feels the same with you I know what it's like to really feel a connection to some one and have history, only to hear her say "I don't feel the same way". Especially hurts when you know somewhere inside she still does.

With dreams like those you shouldn't have any problem to write a script for a horror film. I don't do horror because nothing ever scares me. May be why I didn't freak out in my dream. I have a sadly high tolerance for such things.

Hmm...I should give it a hug next time I see my demon and see what happens maybe? May get sucked into another realm. (one could hope)
Sure I could, If I happen to be lucid at the time. In that dream I was just along for the ride.

I don't believe it had to do with anything in the waking life, per say. But... I should mention that all the dreams like these, or my more interesting, out there, and vivid dreams come form being out of town, in a strange place, or on a completely different sleep cycle(than normal).

I was out of town in a hotel, and sleeping off hours. I tend to dream more/remember more when I sleep into the afternoon or late mornings.
Who knows I may not see this thing for some time again.

Since you mentioned an inner demon, which part/trait of yours would you consider most heinous? Maybe that's something that's bugging you.

Or it could simply be we all have a good side and bad side to us. Just a matter of choices and how good/bad we decide to be.

Reminds me of this song

I love Gorillaz.

Hmm that's a good question. I'd say it was more the good/bad choices in life or attitudes one can poses. I'm a caring individual but, where I'm at in life, I've never had so much to worry about, so much anger, depression, angst. When I feel myself slip it's a transition from not being able to care any more to a "I just don't giva f..." attitude.

I'm on the edge as it is and it's all too easy to go down that dark road with the life I live. A rode I don't belong on but can just as easily travel if I let myself loose control. It may just be all this building up to much for my subconscious to handle and I'm seeing it bleed into my dreams. Or it could be a warning from my subconscious.

Are you a Naruto fan? Lol.

Sounds like the 9 tails fox haha.
