Having dreams of terror lately

I don't know why it happens, but it has been happening more often since I went to one man in his 50s and he looked through me and said that I am possessed with some demon. He didn't take any money though, he was recommended to my mother by her friends. One told her that he cured her of some tumor.
It's just like sleep paralysis, but not quite, I'm still soundly asleep, yet aware that I am sleeping. It happens few hours before I wake up, usually I see that terror in different forms every time. It dissipates when I accept that feeling/form with honesty and love, but it comes back again next night.
Anyone ever dealt with such night terrors? How to get rid of it?

On any medication?

Some guy said your possessed by a demon, then after... like that night you started seeing something?
Like what's it look like ? how many times have you seen it?
More details man I'm interested.
When I was very young I had something follow me which I would describe as a ghost, I seen it numerous times from age four till I was about eleven.
I made a full detailed account in some ghost thread probably about 8 months ago or something, what I did to make it go away was finally confront it and told it to leave me alone, never seen it again after that.
It may sound kind of funny but up until about a year and a half, maybe two years ago I'm finally ok with sleeping uncovered. I used to always sleep with my face facing a wall or have blankets kind of half-covering my face sort of thing or sleep with the lights on. The reason for that was because when I was being visited by whatever that thing was it used to lay by my bed and when I opened my eyes it would be there, staring at me like inches from my face.
It was really fucking scary and after experiencing something like that, and some other weird shit that I've seen I wonder about all the crazy stuff you see in movies and hear from other people, which things exists and what don't.

I experiences extreme anxiety while I was on Mirtazapine. I felt like I was in hell all the time. I felt like I lost the battle - the race - fell from the point of life. I would get hot sweats and couldn't sleep ever but I would lay in bed so as to not wake my wife. I ended up quitting all drugs (psychiatric) and then I got better. Pharma was a complete loser for me. No drugs is much healthier.

Well, I don't see any being. I just see terror in various forms, today it was green circle or triangle and I saw reflection of my emotional state in it. For example I would get scared and terrified and I would see that terror in the reflection. Then I tried to smile to it, but it reflected back as not honest smile, just from surface, and it felt fake and uncomfortable. Then I accepted whatever it was with honesty and love and it was over.
One time I saw some being though, I mean I FELT it's presence during that dreamy episode. But I saw it as confused/lost energy, that's the closest I can give.

Soon I'll be off of olanzapine too. Hopefully I would not need to take epileptic pills in future also.

The first dream that came was really feverish and vivid; I had hit my head a while ago and this dream was a vivid, and I mean LUCID, VIVID, real... feeling of my brain coming out of my head as I was dragged around my old house's backyard and smacked into things. There was some interesting stuff in it like all these amazing characters dressed in tuxedos, rabbit constumes just sitting in my backyard that were aware I was dreaming and all laughed when I stood up and said 'it's just a dream!' to try and calm myself down as I was trapped inside the dream, unable to wake up, and I knew this.
That was bareable but then came these fucked up renderings of 2D shapes and various colours, which, get this, began to speed up more and more and more until I logically accepted my brain wasn't capable of this kind of computation and it felt like it was beginning to melt, like really, it was like I was fully awake... and my brain was melting, my whole body was burning.
As this reality returned, rather than me 'waking up' since I was seemingly fully awake for this stuff, my head felt slightly weird for a second like it really had just been stressed by all the rendering.
Fucked up shit. Don't quit cold turkey for this reason alone... just so you know.

You know what? Now that you mention it I used to have night terrors as a kid based in geometrical stuff. There would be a small black, small white dot, and they would build and build in size until I was almost snuffed out. The terror was of being in a mechanical space without anything human about it. Also the balance between two competing sides where neither could overcome the other. I had that as a recurring nightmare. I am so happy it went away and never came back.

Yeah that sounds like a similar kind of situation, I know the one you're thinking of, it's a bit different to this geometry overload one, but about just as scary.

It' most likely that.

I used to have a recurring dream that I was underground in this giant room, and in this room there were like a million walls that would be constantly changing and switching around, I would try to get through them but they would never stop moving and changing positions. I probably had that dream like 10 times.

i had a nightmare when i was young of a vast technological 'death star' coming to ingulf earth, which had been reduced to the size of a single atom in comparison with this monstrosity. freaked me out...
since then i have had those nighttime panics a few times, learning to stay present through them and calm down has helped a lot. you know man if someone told you you had a demon, and now these things are happening, it could be your body and soul naturally cleansing itself...maybe that guy really did help you somehow.

Just wondering, are you awake but asleep? I use to have night terrors like that when I was a kid all the time, now it doesnt happen very often but I still have them. I get up, sleepwalk, and have my nightmare, I can still have conversations with people but most of the time they dont make any sense about what im talking about.

yeah man thats why it happens a lot of the time, it's called a 'hypnogogic state', completely different from normal waking consciousness
