Last night I had a bad dream when I first fell asleep. There were steps scurrying around my bed, distant voices that faded in and out, and ripples in my bed. The voices were at times individual trying to seduce me and making demands just behind my head and in my ear. They were sometimes speaking to each other, some were frantic and incessant, others were howling and laughing. It was as if there were a battle going on all around me. Some of the voices were commanding the others. Some were threatening them. Some were frightened.

I woke up afraid and had to pray fervently that the angels, saints, and Holy Mother intercede on my behalf to bring the power of the Holy Spirit.
