Making a deal with demon

Interpretation

You may be compromising core values for short-term gain. The Faustian bargain is always tempting: power or pleasure at the cost of something essential.

Demon — Interpretation

A demon in dreams represents the Shadow in its most dramatic form — the feared, rejected, and powerful aspects of the self driven underground. Demons are power that has been mislabeled and exiled.

💡 Advice

Rather than fleeing the dream demon, try curiosity: What does this figure want? What would it need to stop being a demon? The answer almost always reveals a legitimate need that has been denied too long.
