Working specifically with the dream content we may be able to glean a few things. In the first dream the demon could fly. This could indicate a possible tendency to look down on people. It was also prone to ask silly questions which could be viewed as a type of mocking behavior. The general reason behind the behavior possibly based in a belief there is no point in being good maybe because of seeing others do bad and get away with it.
In the second dream it would be helpful to know your personal impressions of trump but since we are working from the negative side of things I will focus on his negatives. In the dream you have set up a border patrol. This suggests that there is a part of you that keeps an eye out for the demon like behavior so you can stop it from occurring. In this instance you are looking out for Trump and his cronies. Trump is a bit of a bully and definitely can take to mocking people he dislikes so again a bit of a mocking aspect being suggested.
In the third dream there is a big black menacing dog. Dogs in general are supposed to be our best friend/ally side but in this instance the dog wants to viciously attack you at the first sign of any weakness. This suggest that the bullying and mocking may be self directed. Meaning your inner demon and shadow side is basically out to get you because a part of you sees yourself as weak and no good. You try to keep this belief about yourself secret for good reason. There is a part of you that doesn't want to tear yourself apart but there is truth to the fact that these false ideas need to be confronted for the behavior to be healed. The longer we avoid the longer it will be a stumbling block in our lives.
So I guess I would ask if you were raised or had strong personalities growing up. Males who possibly mocked you or bullied you or others for being weak or a whimp? There is a possibility you bought into the behavior and a part of you believes it to be true and has turned on you. There is also a part of you that knows compassion not condemnation is the answer that will heal the shadow/demon side. In reality that side was spawned from lies and developed from a place of hurt, but it isn't who you really are. Your true nature is unconditional love but you may have to challenge the idea that weakness is a flaw that needs to be destroyed first to shift the belief to something more life affirming. It's definitely a male dominate belief system that is very common. This idea is based on survival of the fittest but it's false bravado that only serves to demean people who do not fit some sort of manly mold. Ideally helping the weak to become strong benefits everyone but tearing them down, even if it is done as a form of tough love, really only serves to break a person's spirit and self esteem. Compassion and support will definitely win the game over bravado.
So I'd say mull over your past and see if any of that fits or what else it could relate to. We can unfortunately be heavily influenced by the people around us especially in our early formative years but as much as we can inadvertently take on negative traits and beliefs we can also gain some positive ones too. You do have both sides. You have an ally side as well as an enemy side. Use the idea of being an ally towards yourself to help you confront the ideas that would have you attack yourself or others for being weak. There may be some truth to the fact that weak people get picked on but it isn't a sign of their lack of worth merely a sign they are surrounded by negative people. The weak can learn to be strong against their detractors but only by showing itself support as opposed to joining in the fray of berating weak traits.
So something to think about. The clues are there in your dreams Ask yourself what they relate to and how they may fit into your life and see what comes back. The demon side is being brought to your attention for a reason. It's normal to want to avoid it and keep it secret because it's rather painful but if we don't face it odds are it will undermine all our efforts in life and color our happiness and well being. Sounds like a part of you is ready to heal it and your dreams may provide you with the best insights. There is a dream section on the forum where you can post your dreams for others to offer their insights. Either way though I think you are on a path of sorting it out. Take care.
