It was in the evening and I don't remember anyone actually ordering anything. There was some conversation going on that would be like any conversation after going out with a few acquaintances. Finally the Devil tells us he has to go soon and he needs signatures for our souls because he wants them.

Everyone's giggling because they don't think this guy is for real and they assume it's a big joke. They all started signing away. FInally the paperwork gets to me and the Devil is looking at me intently as if he knew he'd have trouble with me. There's a voice in my head (that strangely looks like a very short man with a huge head smoking a cigar sitting next to me that no one else can see) telling me not to sign it because it really IS the Devil and signing it will really give away my soul.

I was nervous to refuse to sign it right away so I signed the wrong name so it wouldn't legally be binding. The Devil seemed very pleased and he put all the papers away and gave each of us receipts.

I was trying to act natural and normal so the Devil wouldn't know I knew the truth about him so I made a few jokes. I said "HEY! On TV when you sell your soul to the devil you always get 3 wishes or something. We just sold our souls to this guy for NOTHING. I mean NOTHING! We should have at least gotten wishes. I'd be a billionare now."

Everyone was laughing but the Devil was looking at me and said "Clever girl. Clever girl."

Next thing I'm at home and trying to avoid this guy because I know he'll find out soon that I signed the wrong name. He does. He shows up at my house and plans on using Hunter to get to me by threatening to hurt him. I'm in my room and Hunter is in his room and the Devil starts coming up the stairs. When he gets up there, though, he discovers he can't even get into HUnter's room because I've surrounded it with this white light circle. The Devil gets mad and turns for my room. I put my hands in the air and start flinging wooden doors with my mind at him and he is shocked. He does get to my room but by the time he gets there he's not mad anymore because he's too interested in how a human did that to him so he sits in front of me on the bed and grabs my hands to see which hand I did it with.

It was my right hand - dunno what that means. But whatever because now he wanted my soul even MORE. His face kept changing. He was doing it on purpose to find one that I liked and trusted that I couldn't resist. I still knew it was him, though, so it didn't work. So it pretty much ended with us fighting physically in the room.

This is about some sort of internal conflict with connections to an external situation. When the Devil appears in a dream, he usually symbolizes a darker aspect of self, the shadow side of our being, or self deception. In this case it is perhaps more accurately described as a struggle between what you are led to believe and what you intuitively feel. The Devil's face is changing because this is not an easy situation to pin down - logic says one thing, feeling says another. His changing face can also represent the different thoughts and/or different people involved on that side of the issue.

It could be that those around you, your social circle, or perhaps society in general has certain ideas that you feel to be false. But, working within the accepted system, you "cleverly" sidestep becoming a slave to it. It could be that Hunter is a real part of this waking situation, perhaps having to do with school, doctors, or some other "system". Those within that system, including that part of yourself that wants to go along with it, appear to threaten Hunter's well-being, as seen from your intuitive side.

But you have already taken steps, made choices, prepared things to protect Hunter (perhaps the signing of actual papers was involved?). He is out of the reach of this "Devil", so the systemic wrath is focused upon you. In this dream the doors symbolize protective barriers, and you are using them! You are fighting fire with fire, in a way. Your right hand is the masculine, the aggresive, active, intellectual part of self - mental power - which you have activated powerfully against the "aggressor". Keep in mind that the "aggressor", the way I see it, is both external and internal. I would also suggest that perhaps this is an indication that you are "handling" the situation in the "right" way.

Now, the dream could well be compensatory. If this is the case, then the meaning would be somewhat reversed. It would mean that you are instead feeling the need for power, that you feel powerless to counter whatever the Devil represents.

Make any sense?

Makes sense to me, but my opinion isn't the one that matters here. Can't wait to hear Wych's insights.....

Follow your feelings on this ... that is what the dream seems to be saying. I hope it does not turn out to be the battle that you created in your mind.

... but at least Hunter seems to be protected. Good job Amber.
