Christian Dream Symbol Dictionary:
Demons - Physical Attack
The theme of demons in dreams goes beyond simple
symbols into the actual manifestation of demonic attack
while sleeping.
A major phenomenon experienced all over the world with
respect to demonic manifestation is referred to by the
scientific community in our culture as "sleep paralysis".
Sleep paralysis is defined by Wikipedia as:
Sleep paralysis is a common condition characterized by
transient partial or total paralysis of skeletal muscles and
areflexia that occurs upon awakening from sleep or less
often while falling asleep. Stimuli such as touch or sound
may terminate the episode, which usually has a duration of
seconds to minutes
Physiologically, it is closely related to the paralysis that
occurs as a natural part of REM (rapid eye movement)
sleep, which is known as REM atonia. Sleep paralysis
occurs when the brain awakes from a REM state, but the
bodily paralysis persists. This leaves the person fully
conscious, but unable to move. In addition, the state may
be accompanied by terrifying hallucinations (hypnopompic
or hypnagogic) and an acute sense of danger [3]. Sleep
paralysis is particularly frightening to the individual due to
the vividness of such hallucinations[4].
In layman's terms, sleep paralysis feels as though you are
being held down or sat on, completely unable to move,
speak, or see but are totally conscious of your
surroundings in spite of the inability to see or move.
As a bible believing Christian, and one who has
experienced this phenomenon personally, I am certain
there is a spiritual explanation for it. In my experience, in
addition to the sleep paralysis, simultaneously present is a
thick tangible manifestation of demonic spirits. Some
people see them, others do not.
Many people have written in for an interpretation to this
experience as though it were a dream or a vision asking
what the meaning is or how to stop the dreams from
recurring.
The aforementioned experience is not a dream or a vision
it is reality. It is a demonic attack on a person while they
are asleep.
Biblically, the devil was able to physically take Jesus to a
high place, a messenger of Satan was sent to buffet Paul,
and there was demonic power which prevented Paul from
achieving missionary goals that he would have liked to
achieve thus establishing a biblical basis for a real present
enemy who still has power available to him even if he has
lost his authority.

Very often the manifestation of these attacks is commonly after the person attacked has
made a decision to follow the Lord, when they have renewed their faith, or when they
have made a decision to go deeper in the things of God. It is as though the spirit
responsible for the attack is trying to prevent the spiritual advancement of the individual
involved.
At this point, the natural question is, How do you prevent it and/or rebuke it?
Call on the name of the Lord in the midst of such an attack. If you cannot use your mouth
to do so, using your heart to call out His name is equally, if not more, effective. I have
personally experienced this manifestation in the past. When my voice wouldn't work,
calling on the name of the Lord with all of my heart not only halted the attack immediately
but the spirit literally fled, instantly leaving the atmosphere in my bedroom so completely
pure and devoid of spiritual clutter that it was nothing short of miraculous. There is
power in the Name of the Lord.
The most effective way to prevent a future attack is to be baptized in the Holy Spirit (Acts
1:5) and to have a fervent, effectual, praying person pray for your deliverance (Why this
is important). After having my former pastor pray over me, I have not had another
manifestation.
Can it happen to a spirit filled, born again Christian? Yes. Although others have, I had
never had this event happen to me before I was spirit filled and born again, only after.
Remember this manifestation is outside of your body, it is not a demon possessing you
from the inside of your body. As much as a demon can responsible for sickness and
illness, they are also responsible for "sleep paralysis".
