I had an odd dream that I can't seem to forget about. I dreamt that I was a catholic priest, who was performing an exorcism upon this girl who was possessed by a demon trying to break out of her body. I successfully stopped the attack, but then it went dark, and after everything was light again, I looked around and saw that i was no longer in the apartment with the young lady, and that I was no longer an adult priest, but was me again. I was in a garden or small park surrounding this huge pond/river (small one). Everything was kind of pale in color, and this dark wet haired girl was sitting near the water next to some grass, looking at the water. She was wet all over, even on her cheap looking brown dress, that looked like a rag. She had no shoes also. I couldn't see her face, I could only see her from behind. She made me feel lonely just from looking at her, and there was something odd about her, that made me worry, but at the same time feel for her. I walked up slowly behind her, and put my hand on her shoulder, and sat with her (still only seeing her back), and then she slowly turned her face towards me, and I saw her eyes, and they scared me incredibly. They were blood red, and her face was pale and she had a few scars and scratches on her face. She smiled at me with her rotting teeth, and I backed away to the place I was standing before I had walked to her. Then, almost as if with every blink of my eyes, she appeared closer to me (without even moving herself) , smiling more and more, with that terrifying look, and devilish face, until she was up to my eye with her own eyeball... Then she walked into me, and I woke up. And I have been worried what this ment, because I have recently left my church, and have been feeling changes around my life, and negative influences about myself (some from my work mates behavior). I have never had the need to come onto a forum before to explain my dreams, even with dreams of jesus and other things, but this was a dream I couldent ignore... I have seen those sorts of dead, demon faces in a few dreams before, in my life, and it makes you wonder what kind of influence is around us... Any help?
I think this dream is about your feelings about leaving your church. I think it has to do with your fears about who you have become, or who you will become. (The young lady is you.)
Yikes then :0 I understand what you mean though. But what has an exorcism got to do with anything? I am not even Catholic. And the whole evil face thing too? :/
An exorcism means taking out something bad that is inside someone. So it could stand for separating out the parts of yourself that you find troublesome, so that you can examine them. The same with the girl's evil face. I think it stand for a part of yourself that you are unhappy with or think is bad or has done something wrong. I think the Catholic priest (you in the dream) represents the part of you that wants everything to be in control and wants to make sure you do things the right way - the part that wants to suppress all the things about yourself that you feel are bad and make you uncomfrotable. Looking at the evil face of the girl could be a message that you have to "face" those things about yourself.
