Evil spirit returning to torment me or just neurosis?
When I was younger (ie 8-10ish),I was incessantly tormented both in dreams and in waking hours by an immaterial entity that I surmise may be some sort of ghost or spirit. This took the form of seeing its silhouette in the distance,catching its reflection in a mirror for a fraction of a second,even hearing it whisper my name at times,though no one else seemed capable of sensing it. I did also see it more clearly in dreams,where it almost always tried to attack or maim me. It took the form of a horse-like skull atop large humanoid skeleton festooned with saurian spikes,and was always very violent,and often berated me for my idiocy. Its chthonic appearance and abilities of human speech is what leads me to suspect it may be some manner of ghost or shade.
These terrors stopped suddenly when I was around 13,and until very recently,I haven't been bothered by it since. However,it appeared after its long absence to torment me in a dream several days ago,and ever since I've haunted with the same sense of dread and foreboding that I last experienced years ago,alongside my faculties in the divine arts seeming to decrease and overall misfortune of this general sort. Is this something I should take seriously and if so,what is to be done?
