hi
BonzaiHunter, welcome to the forums.
i don't see much cause for fright from the dreams you've described... apart from
the idea that the figures appear 'devilish', and that carries connotations which
are unpleasant. the general idea is that you're being offered opportunities for
learning and growing in awareness; things which can benefit you greatly, if you
can overcome the fearful impulses you've built up to prevent you from looking
in those directions.
know that you yourself are a divine spark of creator energy, and are immune
to harm from infernal energies and you'll be fine. believe it; beyond doubt.
the idea that you're using a special shampoo which will facilitate hair growth
is like applying an ointment on the head, to bring you greater knowledge.
you'd sat on the toilet, where 'old energies' might get flushed away, and look
up to find a portal to another realm... which might provide you with fantastic
opportunities for exploration, and new understanding. the idea that a devilish
face appears, which screams, is suggesting to me that there are beings held
in bondage which could find peace through interacting with you... you might
provide them with hope and inspiration to become free of their torments.
the doll seems to be of 'this world' (not through that portal), and it seems to
imply that you'll face similar terrors if you don't enter that portal anyways,
but there would be no benefit to interacting with 'pretend' lifeforms. [you'll
need to master your fears one way or another.]
the second dream is on the same theme, except here you've promised to
help, after you've finished something else. it's not like you're "contracted"
to perform a service, and apparently you can renege without difficulty,
but the devil himself is pleading with you for assistance, and claims that
you'll be better off for the effort.
"
There were also family members in my room around me ..
They watched and did nothing. But I was used to that in my dreams."
this is very curious to me. it may be saying that you've had little or
no guidance from your 'spiritual family', and that you've had to
blaze your own pathway, without help. establishing a reliable link
to spiritual guidance may be the important business you're needing
to finish up, before making the decision to help out or not.
it's not that you'll be traveling anyplace, if you
do decide to help
those devils get free from their misery... it's more like a minor
change in your perspective on things. human spirits can feel
trapped into miserable circumstances, and it may be that you
can help them, if you are confident in your state of being, and
unafraid to face "risk" (truly, there is no threat). it's noteworthy
that the 'portal' appeared when you'd looked up, which seems
synonymous with you setting a goal towards advancing spiritually
(towards heaven).
