I experienced this about a year ago. I've almost never had goose bump shit happen to me. It was at a time nothing was going on in my life, just day to day living.

I had a series of dreams about two nights apart from each other. In it was me and one man. Picture him as a 35ish, tall, fair skinned almost bald headed guy who would be perfect as one of the inbred locals in 'Deliverance'.

He did nothing but look at me and occasionally give a crack lip smile and was usually sitting. His eyes never left me. There was never any sound in the dreams, nor a single word.  The feeling I got immediately from him was the most pure evil one could face, evil like I had not seen, felt, or even imagined before.

Throughout the dreams I would be doing something simple like piddling around and I'd just keep an eye on him. His evil settled in my bones it was so strong. I don't know how long the dreams were, but not quick to be sure.

After waking from the first dream, I just lay there thinking things like 'Holy Shit', over and over. After the second or third I kind of hated to go to bed. I don't remember how many there were, I guess five or six.

I've had plenty of nightmares and this was not like any nightmare I've ever had. He left quickly as he came and hasn't returned. I still think of him often, he's left an imprint on me.

    Hmmm, if I were more religious I'd say that a demon was visiting you in your dreams.  I've had terror dreams, but mine never materialized in human form.

    Oh your experience was scary, beyond. :(

    Everytime I have had terrifying dreams, I will sing a song that my cousin thought me (my aunt is a born-again pastor ...although I was raised Roman Catholic, I am not very religious but have a strong belief of a powerful goodness) and it always calmed me and peace felt like a blanket over me.  Yes, that song was like my security blanket for all terrible emotions or bad dreams that felt so real (what I would say...left me with feeling pure evil visited me)...

    I sure hope that these dreams will not re-occur anymore.

    <3

    YIKES..........What an awful dream Beyond, perhaps you shouldn't have watched that show.
     
    I don't recall ever having a nightmare, I might have but I don't recall any off the top of my head. Maybe it's better being stupid hahaha.
  • Hegemone said on Mar 10, 2009....
    Maybe a night demon, or night terror sort of a situation, only instead of being on TV, its in real life?  That had to have been disturbing for sure.  Life was completely as normal?  You weren't perhaps having a difficult time making decisions between the "right thing to do" and whatever other option?  Maybe it was something trying to manifest itself in you, but was unsuccessful.
  • fragglesrock said on Mar 10, 2009....
    oh my goodness, that would be very unsettling, maybe it is premonition of sorts? maybe someday you will come face to face with the man in your dream and then you will know not to trust him, to run the other way?
  • CayenneMan said on Mar 10, 2009....
      Wow  beyomdtheveil, I saw a movie a long time ago and the it was very similar to your dream. There was a bald headed guy with a very large forehead and extended chin that often appeared in another mans dream. It made the host of the dream very uncomfortable. The dreams got clearer and clearer and like you said the bald headed guy never said a word. The guy was at his wits end, he couldn't take it anymore he was afraid to go to sleep at night. He started sleeping with his shoes on in case he had to run in his sleep !   
       One day while in his dream he became paralyzed with fear as the bald headed guy hacked away at his ankles with an hand saw and laughed a silent laugh the whole time !
              It turns out the creepy guy had been waiting for his chance to steal the man's running shoes !  They were Nike's .  I think there was a part two to the movie and Tiger Woods  had a small part in it but I must have missed it. 
  • gingersoul said on Mar 10, 2009....
    BeyBey.......i think that man is the symbol of the "bad guy" you have in yourself.....
     
    He was the projection of your unplesant inside....he was the impersonification of your potentiality to do wrong,  all the possible bad actions you know you shouldn't put in motion.....the temptation to be bad....whatever bad could mean for you...
     
     
    We are our worse enemy. The evil lives inside our soul like the angel that makes us rightful and honest.
  • beyondtheveil said on Mar 10, 2009....
    unique- A demon all right, but one in my mind.

    paper- I've never heard of singing to keep away dreams, but I'll take the safety measure anyway.

    mobil- No nightmare ever? - that's almost impossible, isn't it? By the way, I only saw a small part of Deliverance a long time ago.

    hege- The only thing that wasn't normal is my wife was seeing things like men in the room standing at the foot of the bed or in the corner. But those were hers, not mine.

    fraggles- Now that's a thought. I'll darn sure know him.

    cayenne- Do you know the name of the movie?
  • mobil said on Mar 10, 2009....
    I am not positive Beyond, but I really don't remember ever having a nightmare. I've never thought about that not being possible or weird..
     
    I saw Deliverance a long time ago too, if a movie would give you nightmares, I suppose that one is as good as any.
  • HollyGoLightly said on Mar 10, 2009....

    this may or may not be true for your situation. but, being a sensitive myself, and having years & years of "supernatural" or psychic phenomenon happen to me or around me have taught me alot.
     
    many times, a dream like that can be a "visitation" of sorts from beyond. many times people who continually have these things can be "haunted". I'm not saying that is what this is~just throwing out some things I've heard of...
     
    also, fear or "evil" in our daily lives can manifest itself into strange persons/situations etc. in our dreams. I wonder if you were personally exceptionally stressed or experiencing some form of fear of something in y our life when these came about?  any trauma?
     
    at any rate, yikes! this would scare me too. it's incredible the detail in which you remember this character, and how precisely you could describe him to the point where I felt I could feel that evil smile...

  • beyondtheveil said on Mar 10, 2009....
    ginsoul- You may be right, I know we all have an evil side. If its true, I sure don't want to see that side of me again.

    holly- I've never had a paranormal thing to ever happen to me, at least not recognized as paranormal. And I thought about my life at the time, there was nothing out of sorts except for my wife's episodes which went on for months. But none of her 'sightings' (mentioned in my answer to hegemone) coincided with this over the couple weeks it happened.
  • cuppajava said on Mar 10, 2009....
    I have had a few like that -it normally means that you have to watch your back either in your personal or work life,cos someone who is supposed to be your friend,is jealous of you for some or other reason.Please be careful
  • travelr712 said on Mar 10, 2009....
    people face the darkness in different ways. just look at religious texts, some of the experiences happen in dreams, some happen in visions, some happen in physical manifestations. one important thing that i realized when i faced an experience like this, was that the only power this 'being' had over me was the power i let it have over me. what i mean is, it was my reaction to the presence that caused the fear and foreboding in me, not the being itself. just as you related, you had no idea where this entity came from, it's intent, or any outcome of any experience you may have with or because of it. it was just your reaction to it's mere presence that affected you so much. what incredible power this being had over you! but the thing is, and this comes from personal experience, if you do not react to them, they have absolutely no power or influence over you. it's kinda funny, they just sorta slink away dejected.
  • quietone said on Mar 10, 2009....
    My 2 cents is that maybe the "guy" in your dream was a way to tell you to watch out for some evil that may want to present itself during a future time in your life. 
  • moonriver said on Mar 10, 2009....
    moon fu-tzu say, maybe that time you watch too many jack nicholson or john malkovich movies.
    those two guys, pure evil, me tell you.

  • gingersoul said on Mar 10, 2009....
    BeyBey......lol....i have to agree with Moon up here...

    That Jack in Shining......that would really scare the crap out of me....lol...




  • pickersplock said on Mar 10, 2009....
    Seaking as someone who has experienced the supernatural, night terrors, and a whole lot of weird stuff I'm still trying to work out,
    I can honestly say..........it's hard to say, but if you'd like to talk by pm, my door is open.
  • husbandhater said on Mar 10, 2009....
    I all honesty Pray. That's what I usually do  inside the dream and outside of it. I paray and start calling out for God. It ususally works.

    I will echo pickers and say that my PM box always has room for discussions like this, and that is all I will say.

    I'm glad he's gone. What made you think of this again? Why now?

    ~Infernal
  • beyondtheveil said on Mar 10, 2009....
    cuppa- This was completely new to me, I didn't even think to associate with something like that. But nothing has happened yet.

    trav- It did have much power, but I do remember in the dreams standing my ground. In waking hours I was still affected though, that hadn't ever happened before.

    quiet- Same guy in real life? That would be an amazing thing.

    moon & ginsoul- Hey, I saw Bloody Jack and a couple Malkovich movies. The only scary-type movie that ever affected me was The Exorcist, but I didn't dream about it. A couple old sci-fi-monster movies got to me when I was a stupid-little-shit eight year old.

    pickers- If he comes back, I'll bang out a pm - I'm not kidding.

    hh- I know many people would and I'm sure it would help them. I've really never prayed, not even sure I'd know how.
  • travelr712 said on Mar 10, 2009....
    well now beyond, i never said these beings didn't have power, of course you can sense it. what i said was that the only power that they can have over you is the power you give them. think about it, if beings so melevolent and powerful compared to the average human could use their power directly on us, we would be enslaved for all eternity or would not exist at all. the best way i can describe it is, your ability to decide your own destiny is more powerful than what they have. there are basically two outcomes for most people when they encounter these creatures. either they run from fear, i.e. stay out of their way, or they're attracted to that power and become a slave to it, and thus to the creature. but the true power that you have over them, is to not make either of those choices, but make a different choice. don't let that sense of their power affect you at all, and then you have defeated them.
  • CreativeWoman said on Mar 10, 2009....
    I would also pray.  I believe there is no right or wrong way to do it as long as you are sincere, but I might suggest the prayer of the Archangel Michael for protection.  The Lord's Prayer is good too. 

    Stand your ground.  Don't allow or invite it into you if it comes back.

  • beyondtheveil said on Mar 10, 2009....
    trav- I understood, and you are right, they have the power you allow them. I was just relating that I felt I stood up to it in the dream. To a point, anyway.

    cw- I'm unsure of prayer. I don't know if I could do that, and be sincere. You have to have that faith and I'm not there yet.


  • one_wired_kitty said on Mar 10, 2009....

    I agree with Ginger ... it could be a side of yourself you may not be aware of.

    It could also be a past unpleasant situation you thought you dealt with that your subconscious is trying to work through.

  • travelr712 said on Mar 10, 2009....
    ahh, i see beyond. and i didn't miss that you said you stood up. that's where the confidence begins, when you stand up :-)
  • CreativeWoman said on Mar 10, 2009....
    beyond,
    I will pray it for you.  :-)  As a matter of fact, I already have.

  • scipio said on Mar 11, 2009....

    A short prayer before you sleep - would be a good idea to get sound sleep.

     

  • rupert7 said on Mar 11, 2009....
    I don't want to scare you but, perhaps because I am such a fan of the Sweedish producer Ingmar Bergman's movies, I see this as a representation of death. Did you ever see "The seventh scroll"? In it a 14th century knight plays chess with death in an effort to stave off his own demise. He was loosing and so in desperation,he knocks the board over, and says, "I don't remember where the pieces were." Death smiles and says, " I do."  The knight looses and death says "come with me." The knight has no choice.  This figure in your dream did not speak so it is not a summons.

    Don't freak out!......this is all crap, but it was a good movie, though not to everyones taste. And then there is "Through a glass darkley."  Very symbolic movies.

  • Voltaire said on Mar 12, 2009....
    Beyond; fear not, if you fear it can control you. (I repeat a lot!)
    Respect it though, no one is complete without two poles; two opposites.
    Therefore there is no "pure" evil.

    You can find these opposites everywhere;
    action, reaction
    matter, anti-matter
    warm, cold
    Democracy, dictatorship
    Happiness, sadness

    You get the idea I am sure.

    Get to know it, and you will learn more about yourself then you knew before.
    If you feel fear, take a deep breath, if that doesn't help; stop.
    Meditation, if nothing else, is a good way to relax.
    Could be fun to try if you ask me.

    I was interested in paranormal myself a few years down the road.
    I never prayed; I believe in personal (inner) strength and therefore I did meditate a lot.

    I was curious, yet cautions, but never afraid.

    I, for my young age, have sure done quite a bit.

    Best of Wishes,

  • PieterOpie said on Mar 14, 2009....
    This is nothing to worry about.  Don't panic.... unless of course you have certain qualms about killing your mother and possibly your grandmother as well.  I would calmly forge a plot to do the old girls in without making a big fuss.  You will be tempted to use sharp weapons such as knives or even a hatchet but don't get too involved with that decision.  Try to be focussed on the when and where - not so much the how......  Be creative and spontaneous.   If there is a chance of a lot of blood going everywhere you might want to put down plastic sheets or something that can be disposed of easily.

    Now do you think you will want to evade the law or will you be giving yourself up to the coppers?   There might be a shoot-out of course.  Some planning might be warranted if you expect to get away with it.  Mind you... you can blame the kids or the neighbours.   You can get way while they grill the kids....  Perhaps going insane could be helpful.

    Whatever you decide to do in the end, be professional about it.  Just because the dreams were a bit vague doesn't mean you can be. 

    Well, I am "dying" to see how you go........ hahaha....  let us all know eh?   Good Luck!!!!
