Just recently, i came to the conclusion there's a demon inside of me. I don't want to sound melodramatic, but i do not see it as entirely a joke either. I am carefull not to be overcome by it. Although it makes attempts. I do not think it is too important as to what it is, or how it came to be. Although, curiousity yearns for me to know since when these experiences started for you, and how this "demon" became a part of your dream world. Whether it is a demon or a figment of your imagination. There is a way to deal with this. Unfortunately, i do not have a clue as to how. Since i am myself struggling to find a way to deal with this demon in my world; i'll give you some extra information how i view this experience, so you can decide for yourself.
It made it's way into my heart when i was in a state of heightened awareness. Drug induced, alas. Since then, it tried to wreak havoc on my dream world. When i would imagine a scene of talking out problems with friends and relatives, my imagination spurred a will of it's own and resulted in excessively violent imagery, of me kicking the shit out of dear friends i would never try to hurt. Then after a sleepless night i finally napped for about an hour. I had a dream in which i was perceiving a "magician" , in third person. and it was talking down to a person. I felt like the magician was 'me' but on further investigation, i realized. the person who was being talked down on was actually a part of me. I think the magician is my way of perceiving a force/entity that has the ability to use magical tricks on my dream world. The reason i mistook a seperate part of my ego as ME in that dream is because it is actually inside me, and thus a part of me. Your non-lucid dream of someone who was not You (but in my mind, definitely a part of you) was talking to this woman, this reminded me of my own non-lucid dream.
The biggest problem i face in dealing with this force is my non-lucidity. I am working hard to gain lucidity in dreams. You have an advantage here. My goal is to engage in communication with this entity. Wether it is a part of me or an external source, asking questions of how and why can possibly give me some answers. This could help for you as well. I hope to bond with this 'demon' and eventually turn it into a positive thing. The most useful lesson i have learned is to never be overcome by negativity. Positive fearlessness, and realizing i am in control of my own dream world. Because it is MINE and not his. Is an empowering thought. I would consider asking for 'archangels' (look it up) for help when things get rough.
I don't want to spread fear. Quite the opposite, actually. This is just my take on all this. Based on my own experiences. I try to be careful with my words here because i realize i do not understand it so much myself. So take it with a grain of salt. From the looks of it, you have a healthy view on this not based on fear or negativity. Which is nice. A good sense of curiousity is also helpful and down to earth thinking. Less spiritual mumbo-jumbo, more reality. I am however curious from my own thirst for understanding how this will develop in you, and hope you will keep me/dreamviews updated on your experiences. If you need any help, i'm glad to offer a hand. But there are probably others on this forum who know better how to deal with this situation. But again, i do not think you need any help. You seem to have the situation under control
Oh, and another tip: Humor is a good defense. In these situations, from what i have heared. Like when you where holding on to a penis. This is an attempt to create a nightmarish situation. But all in all, you could see this as a hilarious thing. Seeing the humor in these things can gain you a lot of energy to stay in control of the dream scene, i think.
