What is the meaning of this dream?

Question

So, growing up I did not have a good relationship with my family because my parents were emotionally and psychologically abusive towards me and were also very manipulative and had a habit of lying about me having mental health or behavioral problems in order to gain sympathy and turn people against me.

Today, I live far away and do not talk to any of them at all. However, I am privy to the fact that they have been stalking me and have actually manipulated a lot of other people against me. I say this because I often have to deal with people being rude to me for no reason, being bullied at work, my home care clients sometimes being praised for being combative towards me, and in the past, have even dealt with people who have tried to talk me into contacting my parents and/or moving back in with them and have tried to intimidate me into not talking about the abuse that I've been subjected to by them.

Now, last night, I had this dream where I encountered some demons and I got a good look at two of them. One of them looked like a monkey with a huge pair of wings, who was flying above me and trying to claw at me, but, for some reason, was unable to touch me. The other one was jet black all over, had a dog's body with no tail, and a perfectly round head and a large gaping mouth with sharp teeth, but no eyes, ears, or nose; and was just lurking around my room quietly.

However, I was not very scared; and they actually disappeared after I started to fight them.

So obviously, your own parents are the culprits in what is currently happening to you, because they are interfering in your Life in many different ways.  You moved to get away from them, but it looks as if they will not allow you to go.  This is their way of hanging onto you, but it is a very negative comment on what kind of people they really are. Your dream is just "personifying" your parents, making them into vicious animals, a crazy dog, and a wild winged monkey.  Notice that even in dreamland you see your parental images as evil and as altered, and deformed, etc.  The dog has no eyes, no ears, and no nose.  The monkey had wings! Your subconscious mind is showing you the viciousness of your parents, but also showing you their weaknesses.  When you have dreams of people with odd behavior or odd shapes, or just plain odd, then you know your sleeping mind is showing you a true picture of these abnormal parents.

I will start with your diet. Did you changed it recently. I suggest you minimize sleep time. Get quality over quantity. Brain try to reconnect all events, things that has happened and tailor it together into a simpler pattern to predict future events. So its important you spend more time with positive thoughts and re-creative thoughts. Take up new hobbies.
