Demons

Your dream is using the symbol of the so called “demon” as a manifestation of your own “inner demons” that you chose not to face. Saying such as “battling my demons” or “overcoming my demons” often filter their way in our dreams metaphorically to deliver a message. This is why we are often being chased or fighting demons hinting at our fight or flight response when battling what fears that challenge us in life. Dreaming of a demon dog implies issues with loyalty, best friends, trust or relates to distortion with your own masculine instincts and behaviors that need taming (see dog).

Similar to dreaming of Aliens, you are disowning some aspect of yourself that you have either associated with being 'evil,' or you are having a hard time 'identifying' with. As you grow, you repress natural and instinctive traits, like aggression, neediness or pain if you believed it was not good in the face of social restraints. Evil is simply the opposite of the good or unacknowledged power within you. As this energy seeks expression, it can appear threatening or repulsive in proportion to how tightly you block its expression in daily life. See Evil, Devil and Shadow.
