Problem when I sleep	Joan	Thursday, November 24, 2016
Question: Please help me. I am constantly having dreams where I am being tricked into doing or accepting something negative in my life or something negative just happens in the dream. Then later in life...the same day, within a week, even a year or years later I find the negativity has happened which I had dreamed of. I think these are psychic attacks. What can I do to prevent them because I am now subconsciously afraid to sleep and it is making me perpetually tired from always sleeping late. Such Dreams are super clear and usually wake me from sleep so I recall them easily. Other normal dreams I cannot recall even by the following morning. I have learned to give the dreams to Jesus Christ for His protection and this has really helped to stave off many of the negative events so I am truly truly grateful to God for this. But the fear of sleep remains. Yesterday I prayed to Jesus before the blessed sacrament for help with my sleeping problem and what i perceive to be attacks. Just before I fell asleep last night I felt as if something came over me like an extra blanket. I rebuked the spirit in the name of our Lord Jesus and asked Jesus to carry me through the night then I slept in peace. This morning I woke up with 2 words/phrases in my mind... Hence my search for and coming to this forum:' poltergeist ' and 'Padre Pio'. I do not know where this word poltergeist came from in my mind but trust that God is guiding me to a solution. Please guide me so that I can move forward in peace .
Question Answered by Dear Joan: You are doing the right thing to "give the dreams to Jesus Christ for His protection." We also have a Bedtime Protection Prayer that I would recommend. You are already rebuking particular spirits, which is also a good thing to do. We also have a prayer, Rebuking Particular Spirits. I would suggest that you rebuke the spirit of fear. Fear is not of God. This spirit of fear is trying to attack you by making you hesitant to get proper sleep. The goal there is to make you fatigued. When we are fatigued we are more likely to sin and we are more vulnerable to demonic attack. The fatigue can also contribute to the dreams. When you go to bed think and mediate upon positive things in your life, or upon our Blessed Mother, or our Lord. Think about the stories of Gospel. Falling asleep thing upon such things may help. As for poltergeist, what you are describing has nothing to do with this phenomenon. Poltergeist activity would be such things as knocks, doors opening by themselves, lights going off and on, and other physical phenomenon. So, this does not apply in your case, at least as you have posted it. As for the dreams coming true now or in the future, the most likely reason for that is called self-fulfilling prophecy. The scenario of the dream is in your subconscious. Later you make decisions or do actions that makes the "prophecy" come true. It can really seem prophetic, but it is really our minds playing out the scenario through subconscious decisions we make. If these dreams are of demonic origin, then the prayers I mentioned above, and other prayers such as the Hedge Prayer for Protection of Self should help. Look over our Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog, linked below, for any other prayers that may be useful to you. We will be praying for you also. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page. We suggest that before contacting us directly for help you try the Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance.

Question:

What can I do to prevent them because I am now subconsciously afraid to sleep and it is making me perpetually tired from always sleeping late. Such Dreams are super clear and usually wake me from sleep so I recall them easily. Other normal dreams I cannot recall even by the following morning. I have learned to give the dreams to Jesus Christ for His protection and this has really helped to stave off many of the negative events so I am truly truly grateful to God for this.
