I feel like this “monster” means impending death or doom. At least that’s how I feel in the dream when I see it.

At the beginning of each dream it is walking threw a town or city or someplace like that, sucking up evil. The more it does this the scarier it gets and the more panic I feel. I am me (I think) in the dreams and it my mind in the dream it is coming for my youngest 10 month old son. In my dream it’s coming to unleash the evil onto my son and make his evil. It never gets him, and for whatever reason the monster will fade away and my focus will be to some other part of the dream that is not really scary at all.

I want to add that I have been dealing with an illness for months that was just confirmed and diagnosed yesterday, and that maybe the dreams have something to do with that in some way. I started having very weird dreams a few weeks ago, but the past three nights have been featuring the monster

Attack your real-life monster and the dream one will go away.

This monster could be an internal creation of your mind or an external entity. If you are preoccupied with negative current events, it is likely internal. An external entity you will often "feel" even after you wake up, especially in the middle of the night. The room may seem "alive". The internal manifestation of negative thoughts can be eliminated by changing your outlook and dwelling on positives. The external entity you can tell to leave you alone, and it probably will. Or, you can embrace it and show it unconditional love. That works too, because you actually feed BOTH the internal and the external with your fear.
No joke.

Actually, that's the worst way to deal with dream monsters. Ignore them and they will cease to exist. Although fighting them is more fun, you need to focus your attention on them in order to fight them, which makes them stronger.edit on 16-11-2011 by The Cusp because: typo

Oddly enough my middle child (3 years old) has not been sleeping well at night, and ends up napping during the day more. My instinct told me he was being bothered by something, especially since he's been drawing a "ghost" on everything lately. That is another post intirely, i've been thinking on making, with the photos of his ghost drawings.

But if they have a basis in real-life, and you have real-life stress, then you need to rectify that stress. The dream monster is just a symptom of your real-life stress, and it needs to be alleviated for the good of your own health.
