What does it mean to dream about the devil?

Answer 1

In dreams, the devil is a metaphor representing evil. The subconscious mind uses the image of the devil to symbolize the dreamer's fear or the sense of imminent harm. The concept of a powerful, malicious being who actively seeks to harm or seduce innocent people has roots in past ages when there was no other way to explain natural disasters, Infectious Diseases, mental illness and countless other "evils."

> The devil might also represent the dreamer's own sense of guilt. By "projecting" the sense of evil onto the mythical personification of evil, the dreamer is relieved of the uncomfortable sense of being responsible for wrong-doing: the sin is located in the image of the devil rather than in the self.

Dreams are produced by the dreamer's own subconscious mind and communicate through symbols. The "devil" is a symbol representing evil in the form of a person, in much the same way that the United States is symbolized by the bald eagle, or the Miami sports team is represented by a dolphin.

It does not mean that any actual supernatural being has any influence over the dreamer's life or mind. See attached link for further information.

You are familiar with other symbols: the bald eagle symbolizes the United States, and Ronald McDonald symbolizes McDonald's restaurants. No one confuses the bald eagle or the clown for actual beings. In exactly the same way, the image of the devil in dreams is merely an image representing something or someone that you experience as dangerous or evil. This particular dream refers to some incident in your real life when you were hurt, or, alternatively, your fear of being hurt by something coming up. Your mind simply uses the image of the devil in the dream to exaggerate the impression that something very nasty might happen.

Answer 7

In dreams, the "devil" is a symbol. It is a personification of the abstract concept of evil.

This is much the same as having your conscience bother you when you are awake, only more exaggerated and disturbing.
