Nap Demon Nightmare

Date: 9/16/2019

I took a 2 hour nap on the couch in the living room of the apartment around the time that the sun was setting, so it was still light outside(important detail for the later part of dream). In my dream I am lying in the same place that I fell asleep, on the couch at the apartment. The only light that is on is the salt rock light, so very dim warm lighting. I can feel this heavy presence in the corner of the living room. I start to realize that it is a demon, or a demonic force of some kind. I can’t see it, but I can feel it’s heavy and overpowering presence. I’m frozen and can’t move, It is holding me on the couch and it moves around the small room. I begin cursing the demon in the name of God, and it reacts violently. It starts making a horrible noise that shakes my chest. The noise is almost like a scream, or like intense orchestra hits, but at the same time is also very unearthly and is like nothing I’ve ever heard before. I keep cursing the demon in a attempt to get him away from me. I begin reciting Gods name in a different language (it sounded like Arabic or Hebrew). And as I did the demon reacted with even more violence. The room began to shake and the demon’s “screaming” got louder. I suddenly felt my arms grab a pillow on the couch, and I realize the demon is controlling me. It makes me put the pillow over my mouth to where I can’t talk anymore. I suddenly remember that Jordan and Noah are asleep in the next room. I start screaming as loud as I can for help, and as I do I can feel the demons heavy presence roaming around the room. I feel like I’ve been screaming for 30 minutes at this point. I’m finally able to escape the demons grasp, and get up to go to the bedroom where Jordan and Noah are sleeping. As soon as I get to the doorway of the bedroom, I don’t feel the heavy presence anymore, but I still feel that it is roaming in the living room. When I make it to the doorway I see that Jordan is standing up waiting for me. He is wrapped tightly in a dark gray blanket (almost like a straight jacket). He begins comforting me, as if I were his son. “Are you Ok, Buddy? Come in here, everything is alright”. I’m still very distraught, and am very comforted by Jordan’s presence. He lays down in his bed, and as weird as it sounds, he invites me to sleep with him because of what just happened. And as he climbs into his bed and begins to settle, I realize that he is in a hospital bed. The sides of the bed have raised plastic sides with buttons. And there is an IV bag hanging from a metal poll. I feel like Jordan invites me to lay down in death(as weird as it sounds). I begin to climb in bed with him and that’s when I woke up from the Dream. Important detail, When I woke up from that dream, the lightning in the living room was exactly the same as it was in the dream. Dark, with only the Salt Rock light on. It was light outside when I feel asleep. So my eyes must’ve been open at some point in this dream to know that it was nighttime. Or just a coincidence...
