I had the most terrifying dream of my life. I am a religious person, though I dont live by gods word. I do believe in god and in the devil. I havent prayed in a very long time, and I havent been to church in forever, but the dream I had makes me want to break down and pray from the deepest parts of my soul.
I dont remember everything, but I will try to make it as understandable as I can. Usually when I have dreams my family members and friends are a major part of it. In this one the only person I knew was my boyfriend and even he played a very small part in it. The people that were there were people I have never seen before. The dream kind of reminded me of revelations from the bible, but god didnt take his people. I remember watching so many people being ripped apart by demons and eaten by the most horrendous creatures. I, my boy friend, a preacher, and a large group of people were all in a church. The preacher and I had many conversations concerning the situation and how we were going to save all of the people. The preacher blessed all of us but that did nothing from some of the people that were there. They were still eaten and ripped apart. In the dream you were able to walk outside until six a clock, at six sharp is when the demons and other creatures were safe to leave the pits of hell and walk the earth. The preacher and I had finally come up with a scheme to get out of there and save everyone, and it worked. We were safe, and everyone left. I blinked and was back in the church, everyone was. It was happening again. I remember telling a girl my age I cant believe this is happening again. Its happening again, and in the same year. The year was the current, 2008. I remember standing outside talking to the preacher, we lost track of time and it was six a clock on the dot. Across from the church was a field and there was a group of people that had taken a walk over to the other side. We called for them to come back and before they were able to turn around they were snatched up and thrown into the pits of hell where they were slowly being torn apart. The rest of us hurried into the church. The next thing I remember is the demons making us go to this small cottage deep in the woods. The cottage was dark and falling apart. I was so scared. I watched a small girl getting dragged away and chewed on because she refused to walk any more. When we got inside the cottage we all sat silent, we knew what was going to happen. We were going to be picked off one by one and eaten. I got up to go get something, then turned around to see a huge demon come up through the floor boards and with one swipe of the arm pulled everyone there into the burning flames of hell. I stood there watching and listening to the men, women and children screaming for their life. Even the preacher, a man of god himself was swept away. I woke up at that. When I woke my heart was almost beating out of my chest. The fear I felt was unbelievable. I have never experienced anything close to that.
The night before I did not watch any scary movies, or anything that might have caused this sort of dream. I did have a bad argument with my boyfriend and almost broke it off with him. Im not sure if maybe that had something to do with it, or if it did, how? I havent ever had a dream like this, I think that and the fact I dont know what might have caused me to have this type of dream is what scares me. I am hoping that someone can help me find some answer, and help me ease my mind.
i wonder, is this a reminder for all of us that after death our bodies are being recycled, either by burning or by being eaten by the worms. an aspect of life we prefer to ignore. somehow i fancy the idea that death is the gate to oneness.
If you haven't prayed or been to church in a while, it's possible that you are subcontiously feeling guilty about this which generated the dream where you are punished for it by being hunted by demons in a world where god seems to be absent
I experience the same dream on a regular basis, where I am dressed in female clothing - not outrageously but in perfectly normal everyday situations. Last night I was wearing a pink patterned skirt suit and was sitting with my sister in a courtroom and it felt very normal, I was checking my makeup in a mirror to make sure it was not too heavy! Previously I have dreamt of trying to get my hair done ( long) and in a hurry to get to work. As I said these dreams seem to be on a regular pattern, anyone got any idea as to the meaning?
Gender issues are something we all deal with in our lives. But as this dream happens on a regular basis, it seems there are some emotional issues around yourself, your identifying with your sister and the law, even natural law.
The first thing to remember about dreams is....they are about our own unresolved emotions from our conscious state. The symbols only represent these emotions to help us resolve the issues.
Demons, pits of hell, fire, torture and people being eaten seems to indicate a very fearful state of mind. Throughout, you were trying to help these people. There was frustration in realizing they had to help themselves. Perhaps you are dealing with a lot of people you can see going down the wrong road in life? And you are unable to help?
Perhaps the breaking up with your relationship just opened some doors to these fears for people you care about and love? Did the breakup involve some form of you not liking something he was doing or thinking?

I am a muslim and I would like to give islamic interpretation. I feel that you are a good soul and god is trying to guide you.
We are all on a path to our destiny. On this path though we are guided by good or evil. Please forgive me if i upset, but i feel in your dream the message is that your church cannot protect you and is ultimately misguided, as is evident by the fact that the priest is also taken. But in the same time it is also evident that during your life you are trying with honesty to save yourself and others from hell. Please look at islamic dream interpretations such ibni Sireen's book of dream where give explantions of fields woods, etc. Offcourse his intpretations is deisgned for muslims, as the same artifacts seen by differrent people has different meanings depending on their background- but still it will help. there is always hope.
the other day i remembered your dream again and suddenly i saw a very clear meaning:
what you saw in your dream is exactly what we do to nature, or at least to the aspects of nature we do not like:
if some insects enter your house you fight them any way possible.
what your dream tells me: the life of a mosquito is just as valuable and hole as my own life.
we, our society, is the devil who destroys.
flaming pits of hell
