Weird possession recurring dream
I’ve had this dream around 3 times now in the past couple of weeks. I know it’s not a lot but it’s just so odd.
To preface, I have chronic sleep paralysis. Sometimes the sleep paralysis would bleed into a dream as well, or I’ll dream about having sleep paralysis too lol.
I don’t exactly remember, but the first instance of this dream started with me knowing not to look into a mirror in the dark. But through temptation I decided to look into the mirror. I then started to see my face morph into something horrifying. I couldn’t move and was being possessed by something. I believe then the dream had me frozen back in my bed and was turned into sleep paralysis where I couldn’t move or something and was trying to be freed from the possession. I then woke up and was fine. I think the sensation I felt was weird. Like a weird sense of peace and comfort if I decided to look into the mirror, (but then it would backfire.)
Then there was the second dream. I was again tempted to look into the mirror in the dark. Again I don’t really remember and could be getting my dreams confused, but essentially it was a similar concept from the last time. This time though the temptation to look into the mirror in the dark was stronger, (even though I know it would end up getting me possessed.) When I woke up from the dream, this time I really did want to look into the mirror in the dark. I think the first time I felt the same, but now I wanted to look into the mirror even more. I remember using the bathroom and just really felt like at that moment it would feel nice if I did. I snapped out of it and it’s starting to creep me out.
And then the other night I had a similar dream again, (with the slight sleep paralysis included.) And after waking up I felt the same feeling of wanting to look into the mirror in the dark.
I haven’t actually looked into the mirror when the lights are off outside of dreaming, but it’s just weird I have this weird sensation of wanting to. Like it’ll give me some comfort. Again it’s creeping me out. I’m not really sure what’s going on. Any dream analysts? I’m not very religious or spiritual but I have been considered “haunted” throughout my life
Also with these dreams I have to try to “snap out of” the possession where it’s just me fighting off the feeling of being possessed (this is where it bleeds into sleep paralysis.)
