Had a bad dream - something wants to go inside my body

Seeking Help or Advice

Hello,

I had a bad dream that something wants to go inside my body or possess me. It’s my first time that I had this dream so it’s kind of scary.

The alarm on my phone went off at 7:30 AM, i hit snooze button, and i decided to go back to sleep since it’s my day off. Then that’s where it happened. In the dream, everything is in color red, i was lying on my bed and my body started to shake by itself. I got scared so I was screaming and called my mom (i am living with my family). In the dream, she was busy since I think we have a lot of people at our house (could be family relatives or family friends).

I asked her to accompany me in the bathroom, so we went there but she left for a minute and my body started to shake again.

In my mind, I thought of these over and over again until I woke up (I am powerful. I am strong. You have no power over me. F* you!)

Then i woke up around 7:40 AM. Initial thoughts were to do smoke cleanse, i have palo santo incense sticks here. And also to do salt cleanse in the shower.

Now that i am awake, i keep thinkijg about that bad dream but i try not to. I try not to give it power by not obsessing over it.

For more context, i feel easily irritated recently, like for minor inconveniences at work, i would get triggered. Or if my parents would shout or yell at each other (sometimes that’s normal for them, how they talk lol). I may also be exhausted or sleep deprived.

Maybe after this I could start a dream journal and write all my strange dreams or nightmares there..

I would like to know your insights as well. Thank you!
