No, you are NOT possessed by an evil spirit! It is just a dream, just random patterns in the brain. If you want to see REAL evil look all around you. Any time any one mistreats another human being or even an animal, THAT is evil! What is evil is people telling you that your dreams are evil or that you are possessed by an evil spirit!
I just wonder how many "Christians" are out there suffering from undiagnosed mental or physical problems and afraid to seek help precisely because of this mentality. I know from personal experience that it caused me much needless suffering. If there had been someone in any of my church groups who had said, I think you have Aspergers and here is where you can go find out more about it, it would have made all the difference in the world. But they did not because they are not conditioned to think in those terms.
Needless suffering...I can definitely identify with that.(The torment of input ideals versus my own thoughts.)
It took years of self conditioning to come to the rational conclusions i now have (I was totally surrounded by superstitious minds,and "the devil is in the details".)...Even so,thank you for your addition to this thread.It was very reaffirming.
To the original poster...i would say you were simply half awake..Like Phagocyte said "it's most likely sleep paralysis".
Stress can overwhelm even the best of us,but don't adopt the superstitions of the minds of those that do not deeply contemplate like yourself. .
