That's a nightmare to you? I'd like that dream, oddly enough...I have a good history with demons, though, so it may not torment me too much.
There is more to the dream I just don't want to share it. I also got a name too :/ I don't know if thats a good thing.

Dreams have deeper meanings. Do some research and find the source of the problem.
I don't think I want to know what the dream means and I have a good idea what it might mean.

Yeah, gonna go ahead and call BS there. It's more likely that the reason the OP is dreaming about this all the time is that he's worried about it right before he goes to sleep.

I would personally guess that the OP needs to confront his fear of this thought. Find a way to reassure himself. Like... picture himself beating the everloving crap out of said demon or something. I would imagine that would be a decent chance. Give yourself an alternate thought in that instance as opposed to more pain.

The weird thing is I clear my mind before I go to sleep. Also I meditate before I sleep to. I haven't had a nightmare like this in weeks so this kinda came as a shock.

Is it correct to assume that the reason you do those things before you sleep is to ward off the possible nightmares? If so, I would imagine that could be a thought process which triggers them.

Back-burner thoughts effect my dreams from time to time. I'll dream about having missed an entire semester of college classes because I didn't know I even had a certain class, and it'll be finals week or something to that effect, for example.

I'm hardly a dream expert though, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. The words of a pyschologist would ring more soundly than mine.

No I just do it to calm down and get ready to sleep. Nothing about warding off nightmares.

Well, I haven't the slightest idea why those dreams would constantly recur then. I know I have recurring dreams as well, personally (such as the one I outlined), but nothing that distresses me that much. Maybe you should watch Constantine :P But really, I'm not sure how you could best change things up... Unless you have the ability to lucidly dream and would be able to see the demon, then realize it was a dream and change it somehow. Sometimes I've been able to do that in upsetting dreams of mine, but it takes a crapload of trying.

The bible is the best book Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM A PROUD CHRISTIAN. HALO IS AWESOME BUT GOD IS MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!

So I have been having issues with nightmares for most of the year but a few weeks ago they stopped. Last night I had one of the worst nightmaresI have ever had. I need a way to calm myself and get on with life.

I tried to change the dream a few months ago but the demon grabbed me did some stuff that was even worse.

'tis your head, bro. It can bust open your chest all it wants and rip all it wants out, but you can grow it all back, make gold spew out, or just laugh as you're still alive despite not having any organs.

Fair enough, although I wouldn't mind knowing...and what kind of name?

Seriously, it relieves stress, and it might be what's causing the nightmares.
