Sleeping with the devil is a dream that processes the presence of a deceptive or hostile influence in a person’s waking life. The brain uses this image to rehearse the way an external pressure or a dishonest person gains access to a person’s private space. When the mind brings together such opposing forces, it is often attempting to map the boundaries between one’s own integrity and an encroaching enmity.
This dream tests how a person reacts to being near something that works against them. The closeness suggests that the threat is not a distant or obvious one, but something that has integrated itself into the daily or emotional environment. This proximity makes the deception harder to identify because the familiarity of the situation masks the nature of the opposition. Vulnerability arrives when a figure of enmity is allowed into the most private areas of life. The dream provides a way to recognize where these influences are most potent.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
