Demonic dreams (of a sexual nature) are so vivid for me that I forget I am sleeping. It is as if I am fully awake experiencing what is actually a dream.
To exit a demonic dream, I must pass through three levels of consciousness:
1. It starts with me being vividly and fully alert in the world of the demonic dream.
2. Then I become aware that I am asleep. (The position of my body in a reclining position can aid my awareness of this.) Upon realizing that I am asleep, I conclude that what I am experiencing must be demonic, since it is too vivid to be a normal dream.
3. I either gradually awake from sleep to the acute embarrassment of stained sheets (if I have not taken authority soon enough) or I awake to instant jubilation that evil was defeated (if I win, with Gods help).
What I consider a significant additional factor, however, is that week after week I immersed myself in Gods Scriptures and his love for me. Never a day went by that I did not make myself aware of Gods loving presence, and the magnitude of his salvation through Christ. I burned into my brain an awareness of the power, goodness and loving kindness of Christ. Over time, my attachment to Christ and awareness of Gods nearness became so deeply etched into my brain that the awareness was still there, even in the exceedingly deep sleep of a demonic dream, This enabled me to confront a demon in my dream, declaring by faith that I had Christs authority to overcome it. Through his victory on the cross Christ has total power over the forces of darkness and by submission to Christ and union with him through faith in his saving work, every believer is under the protection of Christ and has the right to command demons to leave. I exercised this right in my dream and it was defeated.
Once in a dream I saw huge burning eyes and oversized fiery hands smashing through a window to grab my unsaved father, who had called up the demon by his practice of the occult. Realizing that there was no time for complacency, I ran in my dream to stand in front of my father. I ordered the demon to leave by quoting biblical truth about Jesus who was crucified for my sin and raised to life on the third day to prove he has vanquished his foes. I told it I was under the protection of that same Jesus, and claimed protection over its would-be victim. As I was shouting the truth about Jesus, the demons flame was extinguished! It lost its aggression, shrank to the size of a man, fell to the ground, curled into a ball and covered its ears, rocking back and forth, continually shouting, No! No! No! And then it disappeared, bringing an immediate end to the dream.
Another time, during a demonic dream with a sex theme, I felt a weight on top of me, completely immobilizing my body. A hand started groping my genitals while a demonic voice hissed threats in my ear. I ordered it in the name of Jesus to stop molesting me. Nothing changed, and the molestation continued. Refusing to accept defeat, I again ordered to it in Jesus name to stop. Still the demon continued as if the mighty Lord resident within every Christian is powerless. Before I commanded a third time, however, the Holy Spirit came upon me in power. Concentrating with all my might, I heaved myself up to a sitting position. That broke the demonic power that was pinning me down. The demon rolled off my body, landed beside me on the mattress and escaped through the window. The dream came to an abrupt end. I opened my eyes with effort and praised God, rejoicing over the victory. Now, whenever I order them to stop in the name of Jesus, they prefer to stop immediately instead of trying the Holy Spirit's patience.
Dream attacks come when were sleeping, and so most vulnerable; when our mind is stripped down to its bare functioning essentials. I believe that in such dreams, demons are testing our hearts and minds, to discover our deepest thoughts and dearest beliefs, as well as the main principles by which we live our daily lives. I feel that if I had cherished lust in my heart and paid only lip service to the power of God, I would never have experienced any victories against such dreams. Instead, they would have revealed any lust cherished by the deepest parts of my being.
It has taken enormous effort to reach this point, but I am now blessed with the ability to control myself even in my dreams. For example, when a demon was molesting me in a dream, I chose to resist it within the dream itself.
Of course, to attain this degree of control I prayed much that against these dreams, and every night before falling asleep I would pray for divine protection from demonic dreams. And on the positive side, I sometimes asked God to bless me with good dreams that glorify him and enhance my desire to live life joyfully for him. I recall at least once when such prayer was answered by a dream of beauty and great motivation that kept me inspired long after I had awoken.
