Dreams & Consciousness

Shadow entity/dark energy

Before I talk about my experience, I want to say I'm not the kind of person who thinks dreams have some kind of 'special meaning.' I see them as just stuff the brain throws at you while you're asleep. However, some of the dreams that I've been having the past 3 years are... unsettling.

During a summer night I went to bed as normal (No horror movies, no bad day, nothing). My dream was like any other. Random stuff or bits of memories but then it all went to a screeching halt. Suddenly I was in my living room sitting on my recliner all alone. I looked outside the living room window to see it was night time. There was a knock on the door. I stood up, walked up to it, and opened it without hesitation. On the other side was a black shadowy mass with some human resemblance. It was drastically slender and tall. So tall in fact it was bending down to meet the height of the front door. Its fingers looked like long razor blades and it's legs were reduced to thin black rods. I felt complete dread and horror when I saw it.

The thing tried to crawl through the front door reaching out for me as it said with a deep hollow voice 'Seven years you will be with me.' I did my best to push the thing back outside and I finally did to where I could close the door and lock it. That's when I woke up shaking and not being able to go back to sleep for an hour.
This would have been just a stupid nightmare to me if it wasn't for the fact that I had dreams similar to that multiple times. Most of these took place on my driveway where I could see the front door only to turn around and see the thing reaching out or chasing me. It would sometimes manically laugh or mock me as I sprinted to the front door and lock it behind me only to wake up and realize it was a dream. One of the strangest things about this creature is I get this vibe from it that says this is me, a distorted reflection of me.

At one point these dreams did stop for a year and that's also the time when I started meditating. It felt like I was finally free from this dark entity until about a week ago. The dream started with me hanging out at a restaurant with my second grade teacher who I became good friends with. When we left the restaurant and said our goodbyes I noticed there was a dark figure who was standing in front of the restaurant. It had the same vibe as the creature before but it looked different. In fact it took the appearance of my second grade teacher. The key differences were it wore all black clothes, had black hair instead of grey, its eyes were covered in a shadowy fog, and it never stopped smiling.

When I looked at it it noticed me and kept staring at me. I quickly turned around and got into my car to drive back home. My dream then skipped to me being home, out with friends, so on. However, the thing was always there watching me no matter where I was. At certain points it would try to claw at me and chase me. My dream then skipped to me finding a psychic medium and asking her what the heck this thing was while it was standing next to us. To my surprise she didn't know as the creature laughed at her lack of knowledge. The dream finally skipped to me being at a friend's house. This friend of mine is Buddhist and used to be a monk. Of course I had to ask him what the thing was because I thought I was going to lose my mind in my dream if I didn't know. He said it was neither a demon or spirit. Instead, it was a very dark energy that is currently taking the form of something memorable and the energy itself is highly attached to me. That's when I woke up once again shaking and not being able to go to sleep.

I looked up stuff about 'shadow people' and nothing like what I saw exactly fits the description. It never had red eyes and it has never appeared outside of my dreams (although I always had the feeling of being watched after waking up). I don't know what to do. It seemed like meditation helped but now that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Can someone pinpoint what this thing is and most of all tell me how to get rid of it?

My thoughts exactly. I only experience shadow people when I`m stressed out. And its not the stress causing it, its my approach for dealing with it. I have learned to ignore everything coming out of my subconscious. Basically, I open up a divide between by subconscious and conscious. Then I notice shadow people appearing and think its my subconscious trying to get my attention because I have been ignoring it.

The times I've seen shadow figures is when wide awake in the daytime.I'm pretty sure they were there to warn me and I didn't feel bad vibes off them.

Ah, judging from your deion, I think I know exactly who and what the shadow guys are and their purpose. They are manifestations of either your conscience or a bad memory. So, either clear your conscience or stand up to your bad memory. That should defeat your shadow dude.

when i first saw him, at least i think it's a man from what he is wearing. i was 6 years old when my dad took me from my mom, because neither one of them had custody of me. Well he took me to a house on Beaty street in medford. My room was all the way at the other side of the house, the one with the attic door right above my head. It started with the noises from the roof, i'd

I can't tell you what this is but it seems to invoke and feed on fear emotions. The etheric/astral worlds are complex beyond our understanding. If asked for advise I would say to try not to think of this thing and focus your attention on living in peace and happiness.
