Dream Analysis: The Seven Demons

In this new segment, join Lisa, Joseph, and Deb as they illuminate the mysterious corners of the unconscious by interpreting your dreams, illustrated.

They analyze the dream of a 58-year-old man who works as a tour operator who encounters the devil inside him:

“I’ve been invited to a party or reunion. I’m back in London, and I’m with my friend T. I’m happy to see him. There is the same feeling of wild elation in the air that I experienced when living in London in my 20s, a dangerous sensation of almost complete abandonment. We are drinking in a bar, and the next day, I wake up and find three tattoos of three phrases on the side of my calf on my right leg, but I can’t decipher what they say. Underneath is the tattoo parlor’s name. I am annoyed about the tattoos, but I think I’ll be able to get some compensation from the parlor because I must have been unconscious when I got them. I talked about this with T, who was with me. I can’t blame him because we were all drunk or high, and I think it’s not a big deal.

It’s the next day, I’m with T, and he is cooking up an experiment. It’s exciting, but there’s a sense of danger. We are in an old room with flaking plaster on the walls and old pine benches on either side of the room with high wooden stools under them. On each of the benches is three or four piles of darkish sand – seven in total. The piles of sand are not big, but they are incubating something like eggs. One starts to move. I’m nervous. T says don’t worry and starts scraping away the sand, hurrying the hatching process. Inside it is a red-skinned man; he comes out. Now he’s life-size, and I see he has pointed ears. He is a devil, and I’m terrified – though T is excited, and the fact that he isn’t scared seems to protect him and me from risk.

The devil is elated to be free. He exudes self-assurance and purpose and has an immense charisma. He goes around the other piles, helping the others out. The others are not as red as him; some are blotchy, and some have been asleep for eons. The one bench diagonally opposite, furthest from the main devil, is my father; he has slight red blotches like birthmarks and seems less dangerous and not as happy to be reawakening as the main devil, though they are of the same mold. It is like the awakening of vampires, and I am afraid.”
