Knocking

"Most glorious Prince of the Heavenly Armies, <PERSON> the Archangel, defend us in 'our battle against principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places' [<PERSON> 6:12]" ~ Catholic exorcism I was in a dark, <PERSON>-like place. The surroundings were old and wooden, but sturdy-looking. There was a giant crowd of people around. I was on a second-floor platform, but you could look over the railing to see the first floor if you wanted. I looking for my friends, <PERSON> (my pseudo-sister IRL) and <PERSON> (a somewhat large lesbian, and one of my best friends IRL). I saw <PERSON> and <PERSON> run by me up the stairs, so I immediately turned around. I caught up to <PERSON>, but <PERSON> had gotten away. <PERSON> informed me that <PERSON> was possessed by The Demon. In its natural form, The <PERSON> looked like a small black cloud, but it could possess people and have them do its bidding. <PERSON> and I had to get it out of <PERSON>, so we were going to have to perform an exorcism. I got <PERSON> and we went to the dorm area of the hall. Some girl, with slight reluctance, let us set up a base in her room. It was a small, but cozy room with pale yellow walls. Once inside, we shut the door, lit a candle near the door and one near the bed, and I sprinkled a circle of Holy Water from the container that I had with me. <PERSON> of the room: [].~~...[.] []..~.~[.] |.~~...[.] |_'_'___| The []'s make up a bed. The ~ represent a circle of Holy Water. The [.]'s are a desk with a TV on it and some papers that were on the ground. There, we waited. I got prepared to say some exorcism. Suddenly, we heard a knock on the door. <PERSON> went over to open it, but I stopped her. "Who is it?" I asked. No answer. "Who are you?" No answer. "Should I turn out the lights?" <PERSON> asked, about to suffocate the candles with her fingers. I nodded. The room got dark, and I kept the door locked. The <PERSON> would not be getting into this room. I woke up. This dream was quite frightening, but I do not know if it really was a nightmare. It had many nightmare qualities, like an unseen enemy, my friends are victims, and I am not completely sure what to do, but during the dream, I was acting very calm, cool, and collected, although I really was quite nervous. I knew the precautions I had to take to stay safe. I will just put it as a nightmare. I should have noticed it was a dream because I do not believe in demons. I think crowds may be a growing dreamsign for me.
