What does it mean when you dream the devil is acting like someone else?

Answer 1

Your dream has different meanings on different levels, depending on how deeply you want to examine it. One simple interpretation is that it reflects your own anger or dislike of that someone else by identifying that person with the devil. Another, similar, possibility is that the dream illustrates religious or political ideas that you listen to habitually, such as talk radio. This is particularly likely to be the case if the "someone else" in your dream is a political figure. Political / religious factions have identified their enemies with the devil since the time of Christ Himself (Matthew 9:33-35.) It is natural to dream about the things that occupy your mind and evoke strong emotions, such as religion and politics.
> On a more symbolic level, the dream is primarily about you rather than about either the devil or that "someone else." The devil's actions in your dream reflect those behaviors and qualities that you most dislike in yourself. Your mind "projects" those actions onto someone else as a way of denying responsibility for behavior or traits that would make you feel guilty. So this dream acts as a sort of mirror, showing you an unpleasant view of yourself, disguised as the devil and someone else.
