I saw this at the perfect time bc I have a reoccurring dream (nightmare) and I just had it again two nights ago. The dream is I’m trying to rent an apartment and I’m always back at this same building that has a haunted floor/unit. It’s the only room on that level, number 5. It’s run down and there’s a spirit in there that I can’t see but it tortures you - I try to escape using an elevator but no matter what floor you go to, it always takes you back to number 5. In the dream when I revisit, I know to stay away from this room and somehow I always end up back there and if I don’t run out fast enough I know I’ll get stuck there forever. I have never told anyone this and was gonna reach out to Demi about it but I guess I’m typing it here. Thx for this.

Hi Tess 🙏💜🙏... Could the Spirit you speak of be your fear that you need to face? A shadow from the subconscious? You always return to the room with the spirit. There’s no escape but to face what you fear. Something persistent, and not yet resolved, dissolved or released, that keeps pulling you back. May I suggest, that you let the dream play out next time and feel no fear, then what you fear dissipates? If you feel fear go with that until you learn what you need to overcome it… 🙏 take it for what it’s worth leave the rest.

That is a good suggestion - to try and stay in the room the next time that happens. I can’t even remember when this started and have no idea where it’s coming from. In time I’ll find out. Thank you ❤️🙏

I agree with Elliot. This has elements of classic shadow interaction dreams. Especially that it is repeating and you keep finding yourself back at the room. Something inwardly wants to be known, but as it lies in shadow, it brings up fear and resistance. The greatest challenge with these types of dreams is to meet the entity that feels overwhelming. A first step can be to set an intention before bed "rather than run away, I will engage with the spirit." Or meditate, journal on it, etc.

And perform protection spells and rituals beforehand. 🙏

Holy shit. That is scary. It would be cool if you could redirect the dream to meet the spirit to find out why no. 5 is calling you, it could be a benevolent spirit? (I am not making light of this, and my default is remake the future in a hero’s journey.

It is but a forgotten part of the subconscious, but in the realms of consciousness we best have insurance 🙏
