bad dream, woke up with panic attack please, I'm really scared
I had a horrible dream: my mom bought my brother a bike that was possessed by a demon. I told her not to buy it, it's possessed. She said that we “have to save it" because it's my brother's bike. I told her to just burn it. Get rid of it. She's like,“then how is (brothers name) gonna ride it?" I begged her to throw it away, but she insisted on keeping it. I kept asking people I recognized from school, but didn't know THAT well, if they knew how to remove evil spirits. The bike was blue, and it has some sort of stamp on it that looked like a bloody zombie with horns and fangs. I could find out where I saw all the things in my dreams in my waking world. The bike was in the cellar, and I woke up crying, and freaking out, and I thought a demon was attacking me and my chest hurt:I was having a panic attack. My mom calmed me down, and let me start home from school since I woke up at 3:00am. The panic attack happened for 2 hours, until I was finally able to go to sleep. I was always afraid of stuff like demons and devils and possessions. I am not afraid of bikes however, I am very excited for the weather to get nice so I could ride my bike. Whenever I looked at it it made a sound like “HA ha HA ha HAAAAAAAAA" and a harsh piano sound. What's wrong with me? My mom told me she'd sayegh the house for me on the weekend, and my dad says it's just a dream. Is this something significant?

I occasionally had horrific demonic, devil filled nightmares when I was in the Christian faith. I had these as an adult, because I was in my late teens when I started. In the dreams though, I was in control, protected and had no fear but saw other people being harmed. I haven't had any such dreams since I moved on to a more spiritually open and accepting belief.
In my beliefs currently, there is no devil,no hell, but there is a Mother/Father God, reincarnation, no condemnation and belief that I someday go to live with my creator when I am ready. The change in my beliefs affected my dreams. The church taught that any of the beliefs outside of theirs was of the devil. In fact, the subjects of sin, messing up, the devil, being tempted or tormented, demons, demon possession and hell got so much focus and promotion that one would think the so call 'devil' was getting more glory than 'Jesus'. He only got his during worship songs. Any sermons or bible studies, or other talks were so often on the negative.
The problem is that what we focus our attention on is what we create and bring into existence with our minds. The subconscious mind takes in what you are exposed to and experience and forms its own feelings about it, whether more positive joyful or peaceful feelings, or sad, angry or fearful feelings. Our emotions and feelings are stored in our subconscious mind. When asleep our subconscious mind is totally in control forming dreams based on what we believe, and what we desire or fear. Your greatest dreams come true, or terrors and fears realized will come to life in dreams. Sometimes if a person unknowingly has tremendous ability to focus their mind, also known as focusing ones intent, they can create experiences in their world while they are awake.
So this significance here is, if you want this to stop and get over it, you have to stop thinking about it or chosing to listen to talk about it. Focus on the opposite instead. That you are a child of light, created by God and protected by Angels from dark energies that other people unknowing create so of course they become real. But they have no power over you and no ability to harm you. These dark energies created by yourself or other humans, are attracted like moths to flame, to anything that reeks of Fear. Or other negative emotions in you, hatred, anger, unforgiveness, grief, sadness. I am not saying we all can't experience those at times. It becomes an issue when the focus daily is on negative emotions and feelings. I suggest you get your hands on books about Angels and read about that. Picture in your mind your angels, we usually each have two main ones, one on duty while the other attends to other tasks, I've read. Picture what they look like to you. Give them names. They can look like real people without wings, male, female. Your continual daily focus and talking to them by name will make they as real as the demons and such you used to focus on. When you make this switch, you will see things slowly get better. My angels have names and I am grandma age...there's nothing wrong with using our imagination to help trick our minds into making this more real for us. My angels for example are female Sophina, and a male Faramir. And they have their own distinct looks. You will also have to work on your thoughts. You will catch yourself often choosing the negative, scary or fearful stuff to dwell on. The problem with allowing one such thought, is that it will invite others to join it and soon you have a whole string of thoughts creating an entire scary story line. This act of catching one negative thought and replacing it with a positive one is something recommended by psychologists to people fighting depression too. Negative thinking affects lots of areas of life. I hope this works for you.

don't be scared. i know that it is very scary but God is with you. I'm so sorry that this happened to you. I know how bad a panic attack can be. I suffer from them as well. But, if it helps you, say a prayer to fight that off. I don't know about your personal religious beliefs, but when I have those fears, I read the Bible or play Christian music. I hope that I was able to help. We all have bad dreams. I have had some pretty terrible ones myself. But, I remind myself that I am out of the dream and that it can't hurt me.
xoxo
