Since about twenty years ago I started to have nightmares that I would be in a room and the room was dark, then I got scared because I felt the presence of an evil spirit, I always run to the switch to turn on the light, but when I try to, it always fails, I cannot turn the light on and get really scared. As time went by, I learned that if I cried out Jesus' name I would wake up. There are other times that I know I am dreaming but I can't wake up, I tried to wake up but I cant and only when I cry out the Lord's name I wake up. when I as a kid, I hated being in the dark, its been only till lately that I have been getting brave and not being so afraid or scared to be in the dark anymore. I hate it though just a little because I can't see anything, I feel like someone is going to come and grab me from behind and touche me. it scares me a lot. I hate being scared so by turning on the light (in my dream) I feel better. so what I've done to overcome this??, I just say, Jesus come into me, or say Jesus name and all of the sudden I wake up. I do this because sometimes, I know I am dreaming, and I want to wake up but I can't, and the only way I can wake up is by praying to God.
Has anyone had this type of dreams or nightmares?
Am I the only one? if you have, I would appreciate you post your comments here so that I perhaps can learn from you on how to deal with them. Thank you
One pattern i have noticed is that i usually have these dreams when i have done something good that the Lord is pleased with. I think its the Evil one trying to scare me so i wont keep doing good, but it has the opposite affect because i become more faithful to the Lord because i know Jesus loves me and it brings me closer to Jesus.
Thanks for your comments, I can't believe there are people who are having these same dreams. I think its weird. You wanna know something. Sometimes, when I have this dream, i come back to this page to see if anyone recently had the dream, and sure enough, I think all of us are someone connected to each other in one way or another. I want to find out more about this. Can you tell me the following information to see what the pastern here is. please leave me your comments with the following information:
City or Country:
Do you have siblings?
Do you believe in ghosts?
Have you been baptized?
Are you fatherless?
Are you motherless?
Did you have a rough childhood?
Did people scared you when you were a kid?
Do you dream in color or in blank and white?
Thanks, I would appreciate if you can leave this information so we can find a common ground and maybe find a way not to have these dreams ever again.
UPDATE: Guess what, I told myself after getting tired of these dreams that I was going to face what I fear the most... So last time I had this dream, I remembered to just face the shadow or evil presence in my dreams. So when I tried to turn the lights on and they wouldn't come on, i knew i was in this dream. so what I did as soon as I felt the evil presence, I went towards it head on and face it infront of me.. I thought I was going to see some evil face like the guy in 'nightmare on elm street' but no... I didnt see anything, the face was all dark, there was nothing there. very weird. one of the things i've noticed during these dreams is that they dreams are not in color. Usually they are black and white. Next time you have these dreams, can you tell me if you dream in color or in blank and white?

i had this dream last night and decided to research it
people say that they get annoyed when the light doesn't come on and they aren't scared
well, i am because i fear i'm being chased by someone
i remember once i was standing by my kitchen door it was pitch dark and i heard a noise so naturally i go to turn on a light and it didn't work, so i bolted to my room and locked the door after a while i opened the door and looked down the hallway into my parents room and i saw glowing red bloody footsteps and my mom was standing in the doorway saying "where's the dog"
i went back into my room and locked the door once again a moment later i heard a bloody scream and i waited to feel like what seemed forever, then my doorknob rattled and i woke up
most of my nightmares start with the opening of "a lamp won't turn on or a light switch dosen't work" and i'm aware of my dream but i'm not lucid i cannot fully control my dream therefore it all plays out in my dream without me controlling my actions
i think where my fear developed because of a circumstance when i wasn't dreaming but the power went out and i needed to flip on the bathroom light but nothing happened that really made me uneasy and i've never gotten over it since

I have these dreams as well, but does anyone actually understand what they mean? Cause I'd sure as #heck#like to know. Please don't give me your "pitty" about me going to hell. I'm not an atheist but I doubt the devil has anything to do with this, and sadly this is the only site that has popped up with the situation I've been experiencing

i usually dream in color but there's been a few times where my dreams are dark, just straight darkness like a gloomy color the last two nights i've dreamt the two that woke me up for good and caused me to roll out of bed was my first one, it started off as a color dream, i was in a locker room for some concert school event and all of a sudden the dream took a dark turn, i felt an evil presence in the bathroom and i started looking in the showers quickly, there were 3 total and the last one, i looked in was a creepy asian girl then suddenly i was back in my bedroom and listening to music, my favorite song was on but i was confused i noticed something was off the music started to fade out, or it sounded like it was playing under water, keep in mind it was playing off my phone and i felt this presence in my room i woke up today i had multiple dreams but my last i was in my house, woke up in my bed and everything was black and white, dark and very very cold again i felt an evil presence everywhere i tried to turn on the lights, they wouldn't go i actually thought i was awake and i couldn't believe my light bulb burnt out, i then went to the bathroom to find out that light wouldn't turn on i thought the electricity went out but another thing was, i couldn't see i kept grabbing my eyes because my vision was blurry and i ran back into my room to grab my bible on my shelf but the presence was more in my closet and next to my book shelf where my bible was and #love# if just gave me a sick feeling, i couldn't really speak in my dream but usually whenever i call out jesus's name or in my dream start praying hard, saying chaints and things i'd never know to say i'd wake up

Yes, I too have had the same dream described all my life. Just woke up from one which is why I landed on this page. Although it's nice to know I'm not alone w/ the theme, it's a real bummer to see all this Jesus religious garbage. Just like all religion in general this thread offers no answers, but most posters think it's a good idea to tell me the Earth is the devil's place, and only when I'm a slave for Jesus will I be able to turn the lights on... blah blah, well what the hell are dreams? Because they're like nothing I've seen awake on Earth, do we go to a different place, is is just all of our thoughts running into each other? Message to all you religious psychos: Keep your B.S. inside your church & stop trying to enslave our minds while we search for a real answer.

to rusty: if you deny the Lord he will deny you im assuming you are an atheist and your upcoming by your parents must have been the same i feel sorry for you and will pray for your salvation and redemption of the HOLY SPIRIT in the name of JESUS AMEN!!!!
Wed Nov 30, 2016
Greg that is not true. Her parents could be Catholics and yet still she doesn't share the same religious beliefs. I understand what you are saying Rusty. You just wanted an answer to help you and instead got the run around. The dream can mean something good or bad. Good meaning something good is coming representing the light. It can also be something bad like s personal issue is about to come about. Maybe something you have been struggling with and didn't resolve yet. Either way good luck and remember u control your dreams. Neber go to bed with a lot on your mind.

I have had very similar dreams starting at age 17 to present day....the dreams are very sporadic and sometimes I don't realize I'm in a dream until the lights don't turn on. There is always a dark entity in the dream and I am terrified. I did confront the dark figure once because I had enough of being terrified, it worked for a long while then the dream or should I say nightmare returned. Nothing including praying in my sleep stage wakes me. I have wondered if I have suppressed memories that are presenting in my night terrors?! I can only hope and pray that I don't have one tonight after posting this....
Tue Jan 16, 2018
Yes rusty,I agree. I don't like to have religion pushed on me. Believe what they want,not to say I don't, but dreams have little to do with religion in my opinion. In my dreams,I wake up standing in the middle of a dark room. This room is located in a family friends home when I was very young. I get a terrible feeling,not so much of of a person, but feeling of dread. I slid the switch up and the light won't turn on or it's very dim at best. I never go back to bed because I did not get up from one. Simply wake up feeling scared until I realize I'm ok again,in the light of day
Thu Dec 13, 2018
what is your problem? people are sharing their experiences and nobody is pushing their religion on you maybe other christians will be comforted by these experiences because they can relate to them why do you have so much hatred for christians? such a hypocrite, keep your hate speech inside your head and quit trying to shame us for sharing pur experiences

wow, i started having the dream right after my godly grandmother was killed in a wreck on christmas day at age 54 in the beginning i would dream that only my grandmother could turn on the light now she isn't in the dream i won't have it for many years, then here it is again, just like the other night waking up in the dark and trying all of the light switches and lamps to no avail i don't sense an evil spirit, but i am terrified i am a christian as most of you, but i really don't know the connection i have had the night terrors before, where i get a buzzing in my ear and feel like i float out of my body to the ceiling some people claim to be able to soul travel and in the bible they mention evil spirits can inhabit your body and some call this soul travel where you simply are wandering outside your body i try to scream but i am paralyzed i am scared to leave my body and zoom back a few times i tried to relax and see if i could actually soul travel, but i guess i was too afraid scientists say this is just when your body's automated response is caught between consciousness and deep sleep but once when this happened i felt an evil presence pulling on my leg i screamed no inside my head and forced my paralyzed body to wake up awful! i haven't had that terror since i pray never again!! sorry to get off the subject, but i wasn't sure if this was connected
Sat Nov 17, 2018
actually this type of dreams is too terrible, i had this dream almost every night even when i was in the village any time i slept either afternoon or night this dream always comes to me please what is the way out? am very confused i can't sleepsometime i will see someone coming with knife i will try to stand up from the bed but, my body will be too heavy and the person always come in black, the most unfortunate part of it is that i can't see the person's face! am married i believe in god i'm a baptized, am a nigerian based in abuja nigeria thanks

i just woke up from a similar dream i was with a girl i've been seeing and we were in my room, and the lights were off, she was laying on top of me and we were making out i remember feeling uneasy and then she got pulled off of me by something very fast and my bed got thrown across the room while i was on it i hit the ground so hard i felt like the wind got knocked out of me and i felt like my heart dropped then i let out a scream cause i was shocked, that's when she fell from above me right next to me, she was panicking and she grabbed my hand she then let out a terrifying scream, like i could feel the fear in her scream it scared me so much because at that moment i knew something was terribly wrong i grabbed her by the hand and tried to turn on my lights by flicking the light switch over and over again nothing happened i could feel an evil presence in the room and i could kind of see but not really as it was almost pitch black i remember hyperventilating and i woke up drenched in sweat and freaking out i'm 30 years old and this was my first time having this dream so scary i've been up now for 2 hours and am unable to fall asleep still terrified and overwhelmed with the chills and goosebumps
Wed Nov 08, 2017
In my dream I wake up in a house similar to mine just low lighting very low. I seem a little uneasy so i try to cut on a lamp and it wont work. So scaredly I get up to turn on my light switch by the door and that to doesn't work. I feel as Im not alone and by this point I realize its the dream again. I go down the hall nothing works and if it does its very little light. The evil spirt or entity is very very short with no gender. Its hard to discribe because its dark. It generally stands in a corner just enough so I cant see its face. It is there to scare me but never does anything never speaks or trys to touch me. sorry for grammar errors I've never heard of people having the same dream as me so I'm happy to be here.
Sat Oct 20, 2018
oh my god angela, i have the same nightmare, but i havent ever noticed the physical manifestation of the looming presence
it always happen in my own house, and the lightning is very low, very very low, it's as if there is some sort of living darkness overlayed on everything
or kinda like a light under the ocean, it's as if the light struggles to shine, but it doesnt shine enough, and there is no single light in the entire nightmare that shines brightly enough, all of them are weakened

i just dreamed of pushing a wall switch and the whole house was luminated and i was frigtened

Hi all, I just started to think about this dream out of the blue and I'm shocked that so many have had the same dream. honestly thought I was the only one. lol....I used to have this same dream every since I was real young. I'm now in my early 30's. I used to always be in a room, different rooms, in one of my old houses. In the dreams, Sometimes I would be down the hall and sense the evil coming from the room and become afraid. But somehow I always ended up at the entrance of the room. I don't ever remember walking in the rooms.i would try to turn on the light, and my heart would sink when it wouldn't come on. After I got saved and filled with the Holy Spirit, I haven't had that dream anymore in YEARS... therefore I just assumed it was a dream representing satan trying to keep me in a place of sin , evil and darkness, though I subconsciously wanted badly to turn on the light, which I figured represented the "Light", that is Jesus Christ. You do right by calling on the name of Jesus in the dream because only He can turn the darkness into light. I don't know about anyone else but This is what I believe it meant for me because it was always accompanied with the "falling" dream and the fearful "end of the world" dream which left me crying and pleading to Jesus to give me another chance since I was a notorious sinner at that time. I don't know exactly what it may mean for others but I'm almost certain it has some type of spiritual meaning. If you are a believer in Jesus I would recommend you pray about it...Proverbs 3:24-NIV- "When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet."...and if you are not yet a believer in Jesus Christ, I would suggest you pray about it. :) ....For WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED! God bless everyone and take care. :)

i had a dream sorta like yours last night i had a dream i was about to be attached my three "things" i don't know exactly what they were but i was terrified i was sitting down and as soon as i realized i was dreaming i stood up and called on jesus i felt all this power rush to me and the figures disappeared i thought i woke up in my room it was dark so i tried my lamp didn't work then i went into the hallway that light was out too i started to get scared then i completely woke upit was so strange it's like i was trapped in a dream in another dream
Fri Mar 30, 2012
I have had this same dream for about 30 yrs now. Sometimes I even sleep walk trying to turn on all the lights, actually I am turning on all the lights in the house, just not in my dream. When I wake up I am terrified & can't go back to sleep for hours. I have this dream about 6-8 times a year.
Wed May 08, 2013
I have the same dream my intire life about 6 to 8 time each year as well.
Wed Jul 13, 2016
I am back on this site still searching for answers I forgot to mention I am now 45 years old and have had this dream for as long as I can remember. I now know that I am dreaming when the lights will not come on, once I woke up outside standing in front of circuit breaker box with the door open in the rain I was trying to figure out why the lights were not working. Now most of the time I know right away that I am dreaming and can choose to wake up. other times I know I dreaming and think that I wake up go to get some water and calm down but the lights will not work and the dream starts over sometimes I get confused thinking maybe I am really awake and my power is out once I figure out I'm dreaming in circles I can always wake up by saying Jesus name then the only way I can calm down and go back to sleep is with my bible next to me. The first time I thought to Google this and seen all of the sites and people that experience the same dream I have to say it freaked me out for months there must be something spiritual about these dreams. I am and have always been a strong Christian I know I have a good relationship with god and I know one day I will have the answers I seek.
Sat Mar 17, 2018
i have had these dreams exactly the way you have described, over and over and over again in addition i feel as if no muscle in my body works it's only when i take god's name, that i am able to wake up otherwise i feel i'd be stuck in an abyss forever i have had plenty of these dreams in my life i'm a sikh
Tue Mar 13, 2018
one younger sister
i love god soooo much and i try to be very faithful to him i usually have the scariest dreams when i pray so hard to god that i want to submit myself fully to him and to just lead me in the world i think the devil knows how i can change the world for the greater good and he is targeting me on my strongest days with christ however , it only strengthens my bond with god
i can lucid dream, but mostly my dreams are only half lucid and i know i'm dreaming but i can't wake up and i can control a few factors in my dreams, no lights will turn on and i instantly feel terrified because i know there is an evil spirit with me in the room usually it's dark and stormy outside as well
in this particular dream, i was with my sister and i kept asking her if she could she the lights and she could but to me, the lights were dimmed or completely off spirits kept popping up and zooming around my head i tried to stay calm i couldn't wake up all i felt was full of terror it's the worst thing in the world luckily my sister came into my room in real life and i woke up and still felt the same fear i'm not afraid of the dark and i screamed at satan to leave me alone
in my dreams i've called out to god before but the spirits were stronger and they told me that "god wasn't coming" and he was "powerless"
now i know that's 100% not true but it's terrifying in a dream because nothing will make the lights come on and the demons go
Sun Mar 04, 2018
i've had the same dream, and i'm a christian
Tue Nov 28, 2017
Hi There, I've had this exact kind of dream a few times in my life----and one just last night. By the way, I too am Christian. Before I went to sleep, I had a feeling that I was being watched, but disregarded the feeling because I had several guests staying at my house the night before. I know that some people can bring bad energy (for lack of better words), so I left it at that and said a few prayers and went to sleep. In my dream, I was sleeping, but woke up trying to turn on the light because something startled me awake. The light wouldn't turn on (as if the light bulb was out), so I went into the other room, and experienced the same thing. Then I called on Jesus (knowing now that I was dreaming, and wanted to wake up), but before I awoke, I was like a child and saw my mother and gave her a hug, or to be comforted (she is deceased by the way, and came to Christ before passing). Anyway, these dreams (which have only happened a handful of times in my life) really bother me. I truly feel it's the enemy harassing you in your sleep and wanting to keep you in fear. I'm just thankful that Christ dyed on the cross for me, and payed my sin-debt in full so when I die, I don't have to be separated from Him, and spend eternity in darkness.

I have a very strange dream. I dream that light switches won't turn on for me because evil spirits are present. The light switches work for everyone else, but when they won't turn on for me it is proof that the evil spirits are present. I am almost always trying to turn the bathroom light on in my dream and when it won't turn I am very aware that the evil spirits are there and will even acknowledge them sometimes by telling them to leave me alone. I used to be more scared when these dreams started, but am mostly aware that I am dreaming now and wake up right away. It's such a bizarre dream that I googled what happens to me in the dream and came across this post. I am a Christian and have a strong relationship with Jesus Christ.
Tue Jan 30, 2018
I have this reoccurring nightmare too!!!!! Be careful once when I went to face whatever it was( mine had no face as wel it choked me . I woke up from wetting myself and screaming . I was in college mind you with two roommates. I've had this dream since I was little in many different places I've slept! (I don't have a bed wetting problem I promise hahah)
Thu Apr 06, 2017
I have had those kinds of dreams to!
Thu Jan 18, 2018
Have had the same dreams off and on for many many years. Still trying to figure out what the deal is about it, well, or them. Don't say it's because of My name as it is a nickname.
Tue Aug 22, 2017
I'm waking up from one of these dreams right now. I wondered if anyone else went through this so I got online to see and it lead me here. Everything u explain is exactly what I go through! I will be having what seems to be an ordinary dream when all the sudden I'll go to turn on a light switch and it won't turn on, then I'll feel an evil presence and it will attack me paralyzing me. I cry out to Jesus but sometimes I'm unable to talk. I force out Jesus name and I instantly wake up!
Wed Jan 17, 2018
I have the same dream. Lights don't work and can feel something bad. I can say anything but not Jesus. I fight hard and eventually say it and wake up. Last night I was telling whatever it is I wasn't afraid of it but all of a sudden I felt something bite me just before I woke up. I have had this dream many times but last night was the first time I felt it hurt me.
Wed Dec 06, 2017
I've also had this reoccurring dream. I'm always in the house that i live where the dream takes place, i try numerous switches and none of them work. I had this dream again a few hours ago and thats what lead me here. In my dream tonight when i couldnt turn the lights on i grabbed my phone and tried to put the torch on but the torch application wasn't there or if it was i wasn't able to find it. I recently gave up smoking weed too, that used to stop me having dreams but since i stopped 2 weeks ago everynight i've been dreaming. In my dream tonight i also had 2 grinders in real life i only have 1 and in the second grinder i found weed in and i remember thinking i didnt know that was there and i smoked it. Not long after that i woke up.
Wed Jan 11, 2017
I've been having this dream regularly for around a decade. I wake up in a dream in darkness and sense a malevolent presence so I try to turn my lights on but they never switch on. The nightmare doesn't seem to last long, there are no monsters, and I've never been attacked, but I always wake up terrified.
I also occasionally have dreams about water seeping through the walls and ceilings and I can never figure out what to do about it, I just feel powerless. I've suffered from clinical depression for many years, so maybe that's why I keep having these nightmares.
Is anyone else on here who has this nightmare depressed or stressed out?
Wed Dec 13, 2017
Haven't had these "nightmares" since i was a child. But everyone I know has had the same visions. I do not believe they are nightmares as I always remember feeling my way through the empty house and climbing into my parents empty bed or back to my own and crying myself to sleep under the covers. Only for morning to come and everything had gone back to normal. Again everyone I know has told me the exact same story, detail for detail. But as an adult the occurrence has just become an odd frightening nightmare. But I still won't go into an unlit area, or outside after sundown. Not alone. I refuse to be anywhere alone in the dark.
Wed Nov 08, 2017
the dream has a enitity of some sort no gender
Tue Nov 07, 2017
iv'e had this dream. Ever since someone i loved so much cheated on me and left. iv'e had nightmares and dreams of her. I've had Nightmares of falling into a black hole to trying to switch on a light with the Darkness surrounding me. I often wake up broke each day. I should've never trusted her,
Mon Oct 30, 2017

I used to have dream about waking up and felt something pressing me down and i can't turn or stand
And recently have the dream about waking up dark and unable to switch the light on , and i got panic and run towards House mate room for help and they are not responding
Sun Oct 29, 2017
I have had this dream only a couple of times. The first one was when I shared a room with my sister and I was sleeping in her bed. In the dream, I woke up to it being pitch black and had a feeling that I had to turn on the light because something was in there with me, watching me. I notice a weird glowing light coming from under our side table. I tried to turn on our TV to have some light but wouldn't turn on so I ran to the light switch by the door and our door swung open. I ran out of the room and something grabbed me and as I was trying to scream for my mom, nothing came out. Whatever had me carried me back to my room and put into my bed. After I was back in the bed I woke up and couldn't move but I still felt as though someone was watching me.
The second time I had this dream it was in my new room. I woke up and immediately had the feeling I was being watched and I noticed the the strange glow coming from the corner of my room. I tried to plug in my twinkle lights but only to them producing a low dim light then going out then I tried my lamp only for it to do the same thing. I jumped back on my bed to grab my phone and try the light on that. I was shaking terribly while holding my phone and the light would flicker and go dim. I grabbed the remote to my TV to turn it on for light but it took a while for it to turn on but it finally, it was on. I never really woke up from this dream but just went into another...
Wed Aug 16, 2017
Just had this type of dream. In mine, I was laying in my house from childhood but, fully grown. It was storming downstairs and I didn't feel alone. I went to turn on the light and it wouldn't turn on. I didn't want to move for a moment and then I cast fear aside and tried every light switch... going from room to room until finally turning it on. After, I went upstairs to talk to my dad for a moment and went back down to find the lights had all turned out. For some reason, my fear of not getting a paper written was stronger than my fear of the entity in the room. Fast forward a couple things in the dream and I was confronting an white walkers( zombies in game of thrones) crawling into my room. One saw me and I went to hit it and it wasn't hurt. Then I woke up... super weird.... I have commonly had dreams where I hit something and it doesn't get damaged... almost like I have plushy fists... the light was similar.
I'm assuming I have challenges I need to face in my life and in my dream bravery and a goal allowed me to overcome them and see through the ambiguity and fear. The zombies... I probably watched too much tv the night before... that was random.
Mon Feb 06, 2017
I'm having the same dream, except that my dreams allow me to turn the light on, but the light being really dim, and me not being able to see anything. This morning I was EXTREMELY scared.
Wed Feb 08, 2017
i've been having the same. it's like i'm in my own house, and it's dark. i try to turn the lights on but they're really dimmed. i'm kinda being chased by someone or something but idk what. it's freaking the # manure # out of me.
Thu Feb 09, 2017
I had the same type of dream just last night! And I am in my upstairs hallway or going to go upstairs most of the time in these dreams but I turn the light on and it is dim like in your dream and it's annoying and scary. Last night the dream was a little different when I tried to turn the light in my room on it was bright and I was like "LIGHT!" and then it got dimmer and dimmer until it turned off. So then I went to my parents room to wake them up and a white ghost was going towards me and then it became a deer. If anybody can help me with what this dream means I would be so thankful!
Fri Sep 15, 2017
I have this dream every couple of years. I just had another one. I feel like there's an evil presence around so I turn on the light, but as soon as I do the bulb burns out so I go to the next room and the same thing happens. It happens thru every room in the house as I get more and more afraid. I eventually wake up in a panic.
Fri Aug 18, 2017
Since I was younger I've had a fear of the "dark", they call it Nyctophobia..it's basically where you're more afraid of what is IN the dark, as opposed to the room just being dark.
I've believed my room is haunted for a long time now. For some reason this dream happens/has happened more than any other dream I've ever had. It's always the same thing..something strange is going on in my house and I go for the lights and they won't turn on...eventually they do sometimes.
But this damn dream has been reoccurring so much to the point that I do feel like my dreams are being influenced by another force that is present while I sleep. I'm 29, male, have both parents, straight, I work, feel like I'm a good person, believe in God, not of one religion, don't drink or smoke, idk what the #heck#it is

This is also a recurring dream I have, only in my dreams I try to turn on the light and the bulb is burned out. I go to another light and same thing. It is always an omen of a dark presence that I have to get rid of by invoking the name/blood of Jesus.

Same exact thg i lose my voice and cant remember scriptures. I just ask Jesus 4 help.

I just woke from that kind of dream and then searched it online and then I found your post.
In my dream I woke up and got the feeling that i wanted to pee. I tried opening my phone to use it as a light but it didn't open. Then i tried opening my room's light but wont open also. Got out of my room, tried the other light switches but they won't also open. Then when I got to the bathroom the lights wont open also. This time I am starting to get scared but the scariest part of it is that it felt so real.

Hi, my name is Charie. I live in NC. I have for approximately 8 years had the same dream over and over about waking up and not being able to turn on the light. The very first time I had the dream I dreamt I woke from sleeping and fell to the floor and was crawling because I could not walk, all the lights were off and I tried to reach the light and couldn't, as I tried and tried I yelled out, "please God help me" and I woke up and was very sweaty from my dream. Another dream I had same situation, but when I woke up couldn't turn on the light and a prescence was there and it was an angel and a demon and I got afraid and yelled out to God again. I just had a dream the other day during a nap before work, I'm a nurse and work 7p-7a. I dreamt I got up and tried to turn on the light and couldn't and I opened the blinds and it was dark, and I said oh no not this again in my dream. But I didn't wake up. But a voice kept saying my name over and over until I woke up. And I woke up and I was so afraid. And I talked to my mom about it. And she told me she thinks it's Gods way of wanting you to come back to him. She told me when she tried to convince me she was unsuccessful and she was afraid she would never get pregnant with a child. She told God that she would dedicate me to him, that she wanted to get pregnant. Now I don't know about all that and everything. I am a Christian. I have always been afraid of the dark and always keep a light on. I'm just wondering why I keep having this dream. I always dream in color but the light switch dreams are always in black and white.

I'm getting really tired of having these dreams constantly. The light switch will work like once, then after I'm walking around in a dark house, trying to turn on the lights and none of the switches work.
Thu Aug 04, 2011
I have had the dream where I wake up and I am afraid that if I try to turn on the lights, they won't work. So when I get up to turn them on they don't work and I am very frustrated by it. I don't know what this means. Or if it means anything.

Hey guys! I had similar dreams few times in my life, I would say horrors with light swithes. Last night I dreamed strange dream. I was in my apartment in the building on the fourth(last) floor alone during the day, and after a while some force or energy started to push me and pull me. I began to really fear and got goosebumps through whole dream, from start to finish.That force was invisible, of course. After some time the night came and I was still in my apartment. There was some light in dining room, but it gave the poor lightning; enough to see interior of apartment in dark blue color. And since the force still bothered me, I decide to turn on the light switch in kitchen. (It is difficult to describe, but in this kind of dream the light switches always represent some kind of salvation from all bad things and negative emotions. Or, it felt like that). So after I pressed light switch, guess what.. it doesn't work. At the same time I thought.. Oh # manure #, I knew it, there's no electric power now, always when you need it. Then I opened apartment's main door and pressed other light switch in corridor of staircase and neither this didn't work. After that I searched for other source of salvation, people, just any people around. But unfortunately, there was no one near. So I returned into apartment, I went quickly in my sleeping room and immediately locked the door. Then, I waited for a while to see where is the force, is it in my room now, I thought. It felt like the force isn't in my room, but again I was scared to death because I knew that the force is still in other part of apartment. Dawn was coming. I looked at the window and I saw the children playing in the garden of kindergarten at half-night. I felt relief for a while. Then I looked on other side of my room into the little space between door and floor. There was some kind of poor lightning, and then, suddenly I heard some sounds close to my room, as if things are falling to the floor. After a while, I saw some shadow throught that space. I wanted to open the door, but then again I was sure I won't see anything, it will dissapear. When I realize I'm out of options, I decide that the best is lie down in bed. I mean, dawn is here, it will soon be a day and everything will pass away. I lay down in bed, covered with a blanket and after that, I woke up with sudden kick.

The bible teaches is that The devil is The prince of this earth, so it is normal he wants to scare you! You have no idea how Many people stay decades with this presence always haunting their dreams. But there are hundreds of cases i know of that broke this recurring dream just by accepting Jesus in their life! In The bible says there is nothing more powerfull than The nAme of Jesus and that everything whatever it is must kneel before The nAme of Jesus!! So of you are having these dreams and want out start by reading The bible and praying To Jesus If you dont know what To pray just talk To him as you would To a loving father. And ask for his protection he will protect you! I know for a fact this works 100%! Why not try it???

Yes, I often(for years now) have dreams of being in a room not being able to switch on lights. It is always associated with sensing a demonic presence. I have found that in my dream I have started rebuking the evil spirits in the name of Jesus, where I would then have the lights coming on. Tonight I had the same dream again. There was only one light I couldn´t get on, and then I woke up. Its 12:38 AM now and I am searching the web for answers....
Wed Feb 22, 2017
Whoa...last night I dreamt that I was in my room, it was dark and foggy in my room with a little outside light coming in a very eerie color. I tried to get off my bed and I was so heavy like something evil was pushing me back down, I made my way to my door and tried to open it but something was keeping it from opening, I tried to turn on the light but it didn't work. I tried to scream for my mom ...(I live 12 hours away from my mom and some screaming for her in the dream had to be a symbol of me looking for someone I trust purely) but as I screamed my voice was barely a whisper. I felt like something was after me like something was trying to take me away. I felt terrified. For about a second in my dream I realized it was a dream and had woke up in the dream, and I screamed mom loudly and in my dream I heard a man yell "shutup!" I then started praying the lords prayer and I woke up. When I woke up I went to the bathroom and then came back in my room and turned my light on. I was so so sleepy and I was trying so hard not to fall back asleep immediately because I knew I would fall back into the dream so I picked up my phone to try to keep myself awake until i came out of this sleepy powerless state. The reason I responded to your post Phillip is because when I picked up my phone and looked at the time, it was 12:38 am. I have recently been reading about enlightenment and the connectedness of everything. There is no doubt that all of us are connected. Reading how we all have the same dream , we pray to God to save us and we even wakeup at the time opens me uo more to the pure truth that we are all connected, we are all part of this oneness that is life...
Wed Jan 04, 2017
I just had this exact dream last night, I just read somewhere that it means your having trouble figuring out an issue or situation in your life.
Tue Jan 31, 2017
Hi I have just read your post and I am glad to know I'm not the only one who has these dreams, they can be very scary and I have to sleep with the light on which makes me feel like a baby, I will certainly have to try saying Jesus when I next have one of these dreams, hopefully it will work for me to..
Tue Jan 24, 2017
I always have the same dream. I wake up and try to turn on the lights, but they don't work and the room (s) stay dark. I have had this dream numerous times.
Mon Jan 16, 2017
Yea!!!Same here almost every Night I dream the same exact thing ...I go into a panic ... I can sense an evil presence around me and I just keep trying all the switches in my dream . The only difference in mines is that there is always and extra room that doesn't exist in real life ...I never understood that either cause everything else is exactly the same!!😓
Tue Jan 03, 2017
Yup. Have that one all the time. I don't get scared as much as I do #angry#ed off . It's gotten to the point that as soon as a light switch shows up in a dream, it rapidly turns into a nightmare. Something is always in the dark antagonizing me . I woke up cussing at my open closet one night. I think it may have to do with a fear of the unknown or in my case a lack of control.
Wed Dec 21, 2016
Ur definitely not alone. I started getting this dream after I moved into care at 15. I'd wake up in my dream like I was actually awake but paralyzed from shoulders to my toes, being lied down on the bed exactly how I was, I tried to move but I couldnt, then had a horrible feeling of fear in my stomach like something was coming at me, it was so dark I couldn't see a thing. Tried to bang the wall so my foster parents would here me, tried to shout but nothing comes out, like I've got no voicebox. Then I'm just struggling in fear to try and wake myself up cuz I get so scared, and I figured out if I tried to move myself or make myself twitch I'd wake up! And it worked!! So every time I'd wake up in that dream after abit of struggle I'd always make myself twitch to wake up.
Sometimes the dream would slightly change, sometimes I'd wake up in variouse rooms in the house, never a strange or unknown house always my own, it was dark and the feeling I had in my stomach was just fear and I was always scared, I couldn't move propley again like I was hammered off a bottle of vodka stumbbling and dragging myself towards a light switch to put it on, when I manage to get to the switch in some dreams the light NEVER comes on. Then I panick.
All in all I'd say I've a gd fare share of the dreams to say I dread going to sleep just incase I dreamed that dream.
At times they stopped for abit, and Havnt had one for about 5-6 years. But last night was just awful. I fell asleep and it started,iI managed to wake myself up then fell bk asleep, it happened again I was in one and I was downstairs, just felt fear in my stomach and leaped towards the light switch to turn it on and I fell so it woke me up.
I got that scared and put the telly on hoping that'd help somehow, then fell asleep.
I've read up loads about sleep paralysis and come across this today with hope to finding out abit more on why like everyone else. I hate it so much wish I'd know exactly why to overcome it.
Tue Feb 01, 2011
I've been having the same dreams for years and found an answer that I think may help alot of you. Your dreams certainly reflect a feeling of being trapped in the dark and your helplessness to do anything about it. The lights not coming on reflect you inability to do anything. I would wonder if anything happened to you when you were younger. Your name suggests OCD problems and this always suggests control issues. OCD individuals want to over control themselves and these dreams reflect your fears regarding these issues. I would imagine you would have these dreams when you have been in a situation where you felt you did not have control. So try to figure our what in your life past or present and beat it. Your past is your past nothing you can do there but move past it. Your present however is in your hands and you can do something about it. Change your destiny!

Last night I had a dream about the light switch but mine was different. I was trying to turn on one light but it wouldn't come on, but the kitchen light was on. For some reason I felt the kitchen light being on was odd so I played with the switch to see if it would shut off and on. When I did that nothing happened then suddenly darkness and a strange shadow touched me. I felt that touch throughout my body and screamed for a friend. Then I woke up scrared out my mind of course. I think I know what it means but idk. I would like my dream would start off with me in darkness then light but it was light then darkness. I've heard of light at the end of the tunnel but not darkness. This really messed up my morning. My heart is uneasy right now. Nerves are extremely bad and I feel something bad is about to happen. Pray for me

You're not the only one! I'm having terrible dreams of lights burning out! I hate those! For me, it's in my basement bathroom in my dream. Sometimes it just gets dim and I end up raging at the light on my dreams and sometimes if I'm lucky enough, it gets a little brighter, but there's two of them in there. One time one burnt out and the other worked just fine but the burnt out one sometimes unscrews from the socket on its own and flies to me and attacks me! It's 3 in the morning for me right now and I'm worried about dreaming about that, it keeps messing up my dream cycle. Does that kind of stuff happen? I keep dreaming about it about 4 times a week and I never want to dream about it again!! I know this might seem childish but that's my greatest fear!! Everytime I go down there, I always get that really intense feeling, if it actually burns out in real life, I might almost lose consciousness, that's how scared I am about it! I always look away from it when turning it on! I look at the walls and if it looks a little darker, it definitely means it burnt out, I thought it burnt out the other day (in real life) and I almost got unconscious, had the intense feeling and got really shaky but was relieved when it wasn't burnt out but was very shaky! Mine is probably way worse than it would be for most people, I don't know and it's only that light in particular right now and it's been happening for about 4 years now, that's my deepest fear, dreaming about it. It might stop if I got LEDs for it instead of the tungsten incandescent ones in there now. If it still happens, this might seem weird but it might help if you get LEDs for whatever light you're dreaming about if it's a specific one in particular. They last way longer like more than a decade of normal use probably. I hate these light burning out dreams more than anything!!!!
Sun Nov 13, 2016
On October 9th, the right one went out. I thought the left one would go out. In my dream the right one was the one that kept going out and I thought that was ridiculous! But it turned out the right one went out! I could not sleep for couple days. I started having nightmares about my dream being right and me being wrong. Well, just today (November 13th 2016) or last night, the left one went out. That didn't make sense! I looked at the wall again it seemed obvious it went out and sure enough it did! Well, now there's LEDs in there. They are 5000k, the old ones of course were naturally 2700k. I like 5000k better personally. Yeah sometimes objects make me nervous, I end up spending a lot of time rearranging them to stop the nervousness. I think I have OCD. I hope the dreams pretty much stop! I might only dream about how the NSA uses LEDs to spy on you now. I'll let you know how it works soon
Mon Nov 07, 2016
today i had a dream where i was turning the light on, but it would not turn on. so i tried another switch.
Sun Nov 06, 2016
I was just woken up by a similar dream. Hence on the site. I usually dream that I am being tortured by an evil spirit, but I never see it just feel it. And get paralysed, it doesnt let me move. And when I can finally move I run for the switched and I sometimes wake up. I am 27, I am not religious and I dont really believe in anything, maybe angels, but not in the biblical form but some spirit that protects me. So I usually call for angels to help me and I wake up but I dont always wake up. When I get up it's very hard to fall back asleep. Makes me very tired. I noticed it always happens before or around 3am but I guess that's when I REM sleep. Can't figure out a pattern but seems to come more often when I'm depressed. I also suffer from OCD
Sat Feb 18, 2012
Wow, I did not know this was a universal dream theme! I have had this same type of dream 100s of times for 40 years (in the dark, evil presence, no lights in the house work, panic) and I only managed to turn the bathroom light on once! I don't believe in the devil, but he/she/it still shows up in my dreams. I wanted to find an explanation for this dream, but I guess no one has one. I have learned to go outside when I have this dream. Last night I had to swing an axe wildly all the way from my bed to the door in the dark, but I got out. I am, like I assume anyone reading this blog, a very lucid dreamer. Think during the day, if the light doesn't come on in my dream, I am going outside. If you think this enough while your awake, you will eventually go outside in your dream when it happens.
Thu Sep 22, 2016
I have had the paralysed no lights working dream for most of my life, I learnt years ago to fight the things you can't see. I tell them to bring it on and then fight them. As I always know when these dream are occurring I get a bit of a buzz and can feel myself getting stronger and shouting out to "them". Probably have this dream about 10 times a year. Fight them, always!
Sat Apr 30, 2011
My dreams are like this but in a different meaning. I am a lucid dreamer and I know directly when I am dreaming due to the lights not working. In my dreams, no light switches will work and it is always dark when I am having a nightmare/ night terror. I have learned to realize this and am sometimes able to change the dream by knowing something bad will happen..... So I just wanted to know if anyone else has these dreams where they know they are in trouble due to no lights not working, and if they have ever changed the dream?
Sat Feb 20, 2016
Yes, in my dream I try to turn a light on when, it won't work I think nothing of it, then I try another, same thing, I try lamps and wall switches then I start to thinking "oh crap this isn't good", I think that in my dream and in reality, when next one and next don't I get more and more scared, I realize I'm in a dream but am not able to do anything about it, I know it means something bad is coming. Don't know what, when or how. I'm just really scared standing in a dark house. This time I recognized the house, sometimes I don't.
Thu Sep 01, 2016
Wow, I fid it real strange to read this. I got the exact same dream. I also know I am dreaming, but cant wake up. I never tried to call out Jezus name though. Most of the times I can sort of feel when I get the dream and I would really like to know what it means. Nothing ever happend to me in the past, so that's definitly not it.
( sorry for my bad english )

I don't know why my other reply did not work, but I have NEVER had this dream. However I have had this experience happen to me in real, on numerous occasions in every single house I have ever lived in since I was a child. Not only in the houses I have lived in, but also in other peoples houses, hotels etc.
The first time it happened I was about 6 years old, my parents were outside and I woke up frightened from a dream, went to switch on my light, nothing happened, tried numerous lights in the house, nothing happened. My father came inside and the first thing he did was switch on a light...which worked. I told him what had happened and he switched on every light in the house...ALL of them worked, even the ones I had previously tried.
He was confused but he believed me and told me not to worry that it was an old house with bad wiring and that he was going to fix it (he was an electrician by trade), it put me somewhat at ease, but I could see he was still confused, as if he knew that was not really suppose to happen. This phenomenon (that's all I can explain it as) happens to me, till this day, all I can say is, I am now used to the dark and these experiences no longer scare me. I am always prepared now with something handy beside me that WILL light up and my advice is, get used to the dark, because there is not always a light.
Sun Aug 21, 2016
I have NEVER had this "dream" about lights not being able to be turned on, however I have actually experienced that very thing, in every single house I have ever lived in and more.
It all started when I was a child (I'm in my 30's now), we lived in a very old house around 150 years old (which we still own), it's now the family holiday home, however most of the time it is vacant. It's located in the country directly across from the sea, so of course it has an eeriness to it.
The first time I experienced the lights not turning on was about 6 months after moving into the house, my parents were outside and I had had a bad dream. I was feeling frightened so I yelled out for my parents (but of course no answer), so I got up and searched for the light switch (the thing about living in the country is there are no street lights, so most of the time it's pitch black).
I slid my hands along the wall until I felt the light switch, flicked it on and nothing happened, which of course frightened me more, so I opened my door and walked out into the hallway, turned left and opened the door to the lounge/kitchen, there are two light switches in there, one right next to the door I had just opened, so I felt for the switch again, flicked it on, and again nothing happened.
By this time I was freaking the #love# out so, so I ran back down the hallway to the end room (kind of like a foyer), where there is multiple light switches for different areas in the house and I switched them all on...once again nothing came on. As I was about to scream, the light in the lounge came on and illuminated the whole hallway and the area I was standing in, my Father was standing there (he had just come in from outside), he asked me what I was doing up, and I told him, none of the lights are working, he came down the hallway toward me, as he was doing so, he switched on every single light he passed, the lounge light I had previously tried, my room, the spare room, my parents room and then the multiple lights I was standing next to.
ALL of the lights switched on no problem, he looked at me with a confused look on his face, but he never said he didn't believe me, he just told me not to worry the place was old, and it had old wiring and that he was going to fix it (as he was an electrician by trade), this put me somewhat at ease, however I could tell by the look on his face, he knew that was something that really shouldn't happen.
Ever since then I have had trouble with lights not turning on, however as an adult I have learnt to deal with it, to the point of, if I don't need the light on, I won't even bother switching it on, I will just walk around in the dark (as we all memorize our houses to a certain extent). In saying that I am always prepared for the lights not switching on, cell phones are a huge help, laptops, torches, candles etc. I now always have something handy next to me that WILL light up, regardless if my light will switch on or not and I am no longer afraid of the dark.
The most recent event happened Christmas Eve 2015 and guess where I was? That's right! I was back in my old room lol. I was getting ready for bed, switched off my light, turned around and remembered I had to get something out of my suitcase, turned back around switched on the light and surprise, surprise the light didn't come on. I thought to myself "typical" I had a bit of a chuckle to myself, walked over to my bed, opened my laptop and instantly illuminated my room, I got into bed forgot about the suitcase and went to sleep. The next morning I got up and immediately turned on the light and of course...it came on straight away, I just shrugged it off and got on with Christmas day.
This phenomenon (that's all I can explain it as) has happened to me on numerous occasions, in every house I have ever lived in, it also happens when I stay with other people, or hotels etc. A few times I have even thought about it happening, and intentionally gone over to the light switch to test it out, and a few times, it has not come on.
If anything it has taught me, get used to the dark, because there is not always a light.

I had a nightmare just now. I was sleeping then I got up since my boyfriend brought in visitors. After they left, I remember one of the visitors used to live in this same apartment and she said there was something evil in this place. I stayed at home then sounds were being made. I shouted with fear but mostly with bravery, "COME OUT QND SHOW YOURSELF!!!" Then it started to come out. It was a little boy. It wasnt coming near me but it was tfying to ruin all our stuff so I tried to turn onn all the lights but suddenly there were soany lights and making it difficult for me to find the switches. I tried to turn them all on but non. The light was so dim until the boy attacked me. It has fangs and it was trying to bite me. I was calling my boyfriend for help but no success. I screamed, "IN JESUS NAME I COMPEL YOU!!! WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!" Then while screaming the holy spirit, I woke up. I was actually screaming in my sleep. It was scary..
Fri Oct 22, 2010
i too have been having this dream since i was a child. i am a christian but have not discovered that saying the name of jesus helps. these dreams are terrifying though. i try to wake up but i can't. im always in some type of room that may be familiar (my childhood home) or somewhere i have never been, and i cannot turn on the lights.. i feel an evil presence so i try every light switch but none turn on lights. i had night terrors as a kid and this was always one of them. all of my other night terrors included satan or demons. glad to know i'm not the only person with this type of nightmare.
Mon Jul 11, 2016
Holy cow, I have those about 4 times a week and it's my greatest fear! I HATE those! It actually disturbs my sleep because of how scared I am!
Sun Nov 28, 2010
Yeah, ive had a bunch of nightmares like that. actually in fact a lot of my nightmares are about being in my house with dim or not-working lights. i always try to rush to a light switch to try to turn it on because i could "feel" something was there with me. one of my more recent nightmares i saw the evil creature demon thing. i tried turning on the lights but they wouldnt turn on, and when that happened i realized what would happen next. i ran to my room but the demon caught up with me. it blocked the door from closing then stabbed my stomach. it was horrible i could feel the pain and i screamed... i thought maybe if i pretended to die it would go away...and it did. i dont remember much after that, but in most of my nightmares its always those dim lights. i know what youre going through, its not a pleasant dream at all
Fri Apr 29, 2016
today i had this dream , a big damn plane crashes into my house and then suddenly i was standing in a house it was darkness everywhere i didn'nt heard a single noise at that house and i was getting weird kind of negetive feeling that something's wrong here so i ran to the lights but when i switched them on it was very dim so i tried another but same thing happened i think saw the whole house maybe but i didn't found any way out of there but i also knew that i was dreaming.... i went to that house 2 times by my will but then when i got much darker i woke up i just wanna know what these dreams really means??
Sat Mar 05, 2016
I have had this exact dream recurring lately. I have always suffered sleep paralysis, however, since I became Christian the dreams have changed to being in a dark room - running to turn on the lights (feeling an evil presence) but the lights do not work. Then I am physically attacked. Calling out to Jesus doesn't always work for me. Sometimes it does. Either way, the dreams are my crying out for the Lord to save me.
Wed Feb 24, 2016
I have these dreams also. Wondering how many of us might have the type of sleep apnea where we breath very shallowly at night, or stop breathing altogether for a while. It may develop a buildup of carbon dioxide in the system which could cause panic attacks while sleeping. In addition to praying, I find that if I focus on my breathing and breath deeply in the dream, I wake up every time.
Sun Dec 26, 2010
And I thought I was the only one... I do occasionally have a dream like this, say when I go down the stairs to get something and needing to turn the light on but it doesnt work. Then for some reason I think, "I hope scream isn't here..." you might think that is pretty funny but seriously, Scream (from Scary Movie I believe?) actually does appear! I get scared to absolute death and wake up with a funny feeling inside of me. I cannot find definitions of it anywhere and it really scares me.
Sun Feb 14, 2016
I have this dream a lot and researching about it today. Where I feel terrible and scared and I go to turn on the lights and they don't work. There's always some sort of evil around. I wonder if saying Jesus name will help. Or if I'll remember to say it my dreams. Doesn't hurt to try. These dreams are awful
Fri Jan 08, 2016
I to have similar dreams. My dreams would be fine at first, but whenever I go to a light to turn it on and it doesn't come on, I begin to get scared because I believe there is an evil presence in that room. So I stay in the light, and I am fine. But there were many instances where I was completely caught in a dark house, where there were no lights on. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, try to calm my emotions. I try to think of something that would give me a different emotion other than fear, such as a loved one, or a happy memory and this wakes me up. There has also been instances where my eyes were open, but I couldn't leave the dream (nightmare). I assume this is because since the room is dark, even though the light switch didn't work in the dream but you still managed to wake up. The darkness in the room replaced the room in the dream, and it makes me feel as if i am still in the dream which causes the grasp on me to be extended. It's only after I fully gain conscious of myself, I then realize that my eyes were open, and the thing I was looking at was only my ceiling, or fan, etc. The love of someone and their bond with jesus can also be a strong enough emotion to take your mind off the fear. As it makes you feel safe, and protected, it gives you relief and you begin to feel less afraid.

I've had my second dream regarding this. In the first one, I was a couple feet away from the light switch, every time I'd turn it on I'd end up back in my bed in the dark, I then realized I was dreaming and tried to throw myself off my bed, but something would hold me up, laughing and speaking tongues, the second time was last night, I was in a new room convinced I had moved, and in a second I felt a presence and felt the need to turn on the light, my body was paralyzed, and everyone is manage to turn on the lights I'd succeed, but end up back in my bed in the dark in an instant. The similarities between these two dreams is I was incredibly aware that I was dreaming in them, I was just manipulated to believe my surrounding were real. If you have any information or advice please let me know.

I just has another one an hour ago and stumbled upon your post while looking up finally after years of this dream/nightmare if anyone else had such a dream and if so did anyone know what it means.
For me because of this dream I sleep with my light on. So it goes like this..I go to sleep and wake up in the dream just as I would if I were to wake up for real. everything looks the same my eyes will not focus tho. Since my vision is not fantastic I then try to turn on my room light which should have been on..it does not work and I am wondering at this point am I dreaming?
I then go out of my room and try the bathroom light that one does not work either..
I went all the way across my house to my sons room which looked like he was asleep in his bed but it is pretty dark in the dream and I try o turn on his bathroom light it did not come on either.. It is at this point I am convince I am having one of these wake up in a dream dreams and the lights wont come on.
I am not sure what it means but I close my eyes right and will myself to wake up sometimes i blink several times..I have the feeling I have passed on in my sleep and just did not know it yet..
We are not alone I am seeing with these dreams..I am going to look into it further now...
Thank you for sharing your story.

I too have had the same dreams from childhood, I'm 41 now, what you described in your original post is exactly what I dream about all the way down to calling out Jesus's name. I always take these as being demonic dreams, but for what reason I do not know.

I have the same type of dreams just had one this morning , can't go back to sleep now also I have the same fellings about the dark , I think someone or some thing is watching me.

I had the same dream just moments ago. This is from some one on Yahoo Answers:
This dream is about stepping into your destiny. You have the potential to use your gifts and abilities to enter your destiny, but there is no true power to drive them. You have a really cool destiny that will fulfill the purpose for which you were created to do. You just need to tap into the proper power source (God) to turn on your gifts and abilities brightly, so the light will shine.
The dim light is coming from tapping into an inferior power source (not God). This is actually a great dream about the potential of your destiny, which can shine and provide illumination for yourself and others. All you have to do is plug in.

Sun May 31, 2015
I've been having this dream, i am wondering in my house running or hiding from someone or something. So I tried turning on all the lights on but none of them work, but I keep going. I'm scared # manure #less. I don't stop till I make it out my house that's when I wake up.
Mon May 11, 2015
I just woke up from the worst dream ever and found this thread. I've been having these dreams for at least 25 years. The house I'm in is always home. And I know the power is on, and the light aren't burnt out, and I know that its just the light in the room I'm in that won't turn on. Something evil is in the room with me and keeping the light from turning on so I won't see it but it can see me. I am always terrified. I can feel the evil gwtting closer and follwing me.
I did beat it years ago. As soon as I saw the lights werent coming on I would run outside. Id just sit on the stairs in front of my house waiting for someone to come home because it won't attack if I'm not alone. And my dreams will drag on with me just sitting there, like it can't end. But I'm not scared anymore by that point so it never really mattered. Tonight though was the first time in a couple years I've had it (I used to have it every week). And it was quite different. I was a guest in a strange house and a friend was in the other room (before I was always alone and in my home) and I went to the bathroom. The lights in the room I left were working but the hall light and bathroom light weren't and it was dark in the bathroom.my friends dog came to the bathroom with me, so I felt safe because I wasn't alone. Then the dog started making a scared noise and backing out of the room. I was in the act of using the restroom so couldn't get up but was looking at the doog in the door way and talking to it. Then I saw a huge, muscled man without a shirt on, he was monster huge and disproportioned. He started running at me from the end of the hall and was screaming this deep, loud horrifying scream. I was terrified. I sat there screaming at the topbof my lungs. and my husband woke me up because I was screaming in bed. I had told a Dr about these dreams years ago and was asked if I was #love-ually abused as a child which I was. I faced that and thought I was over these dreams. I'm scared this new, more terrifying dream is going to be recurring now. I am also a Christian, like the original poster, but have never tried using the name of the lord to save me in my dream. I will try to try that.

Very interesting post. I have been having these types of dreams on and off for a long time. It first started when I was in medical school and once or twice a year I get it. Unfortunately I had one yesterday where everything was pitch black and wanted to turn on my ipod light (it failed), mobile light (failed), main switch light (failed). I have become so used to this that, I know it is a dream and chant prayers and wake myself up to silence in the room, with a tick tock of my wall clock and the refrigirators noise, but feels bad and a little uneasy. After seeing such dreams I usually turn on a small light for the rest of the night, do prayers and sleep.
However there is an answer to all this (esp for myself, may not be true for others) which I have found myself during my medical years. Most of the time I have noticed that I have slept very awakwardly with my hand slightly touching one of my carotid arteries in the neck. Now as we sleep all the muscles tend to relax and we get relatively "heavier". This puts pressure on the carotid artery (obviously just one side of the neck, not both otherwise something devastating may happen!!!) and the response of the body is to cause fear so that we wake up. Scientifically thinking it is a preventive mechanism to wake us up from awakward sleep, as invariably 100% of the time, I have found my hand somewhere close to my neck (or even on my chest). Yes prayers always help or even a sudden noise. This also happens when I am very very tired and just fall alseep with my face on the pillow. Some of the experience with carotid compression are rather frightening but I have been so used to it I fight it back. Once I felt something dragging me across the room and in my dream I kicked it so hard, I woke up and again my hand was near on one side of my neck (I juts hope no entity is/was trying to stanglulate me with my own hand while I am asleep!!!!). So there is nothing to fear just sleep properly with prayer and meditation before sleep. I generally tilt my chin slighly up (like smelling morning fresh air, as this opens the airway) on my pillow and make sure my hand is nowhere near my neck or chest to prevent breathing or circulatory difficulties when I am in deep sleep. I hope this may work for others too.

yes very much the same thing.
Tue Feb 17, 2015
So glad to read this thread as I've had this exact same type of recurring dream since I was a child, I'm now in my 40s and they are equally if not more terrifying. What I do find ironic is that one time I got such a fright I just automatically said 'Jesus' as one might if they get startled, I immediately awoke and knew it was this that ceased the nightmare. I am always aware in the dreams that I am asleep but trying to wake up is not so easy despite how terrifying the situation is. Thankfully they don't occur too often but still wish they would stop altogether!
Sat Apr 07, 2012
I to had the same dream ;one night as I was sleeping ;I was awaken thinking I had too use the bathroom but as I got up to go too the bathroom I could not r the lights would not turn on in the bathroom r threw out the house.I assume some one had cut the electric box.it wasn't a great feeling.I begin to pray an then I was awaken.I believe that the devil was trying too place fear in my heart but. By the Almighty God an praying the devil had to flea.Jesus is good,I know when u have them kind of dream we r suppose to pray in the natural an spirit. That way the devil will not have domino over us.TO GOD BE THE GLORY.

I awake to a darkened house. I step towards the nearest light switch and flick it up and down..just as i suspected..no light comes on. As I move throughout the rooms I'm flicking light switches that don't work. I can feel the presence of evil spirits around me. I am barely able to say the Name of Jesus but at best it comes out slurred. This time I decided to use Spiritual warfare to take control of my dream.
Welcome to my nightmare! Are you willing to try something new? Here's what I did.
I moved through the house saying these words; IN THE NAME OF JESUS I COMMAND THAT YOU LEAVE. I AM A WARRIOR FOR THE LORD AND AM READY TO DO BATTLE. PREPARE TO LOSE NOW. ETERNAL DAMNATION AWAITS YOU. At this point the lights came on and the evil presence was waning. I suddenly awoke in my bed to find my wife startled and asking me who I was arguing with. She said I was speaking out loud. Personally I felt much better after waking up because I felt I gave it my all. DO or DIE
Mon Jan 26, 2015
I had a dream like that this morning. I had a dream that I was in my childhood house and felt an evil presence. As I made my way to the light switch it felt like my feet were walking in the swamp. As I reached the light switch I noticed that they did not work. At this moment I ordered the name of Jesus and the lights came on. I went to the bathroom and prepared to shower and the lights went out again. This time I walked through the house and under the name of Jesus. As I passed the floor furnace I noticed that it was lit and growls were coming from it. I holler down inside, Satan prepare to meet your doom, you do not scare me the Lord has prepared a place for you in eternal damnation and you will burn forever and ever. The lights finally went on and I could feel the evil presence. I quickly awoke from a dream and my wife laying beside me in the bed, asked me, what were you dreaming about? You kept saying forever and ever.
I've had these dreams for years. I found the best way to deal with it is to say to myself , do or die, I will put on the armor and fight and I have Jesus behind me. For some reason I always prevail.
Thu Oct 23, 2014
I had that dream last night. I was in a dark room in my house and felt an evil presence. Couldn't turn on the lights. The thing with my dream was that the beeing spoke to me and wanted to show me how to produce light from my hands. The entity told me that I should say a word. When I tried to pronounce it I couldn't speak. I tried harder and harder to pronounce the word but ended up screaming jibberish and waking my girlfriend and myself. I don't remember what the word was.
Wed Oct 15, 2014
I am blown away by how exact your nightmares and evil feeling that you get is exact to me. Apart from the god/lord stuff I dnt belive in him bt I had a nightmare when I was a kid and my mum was trying to wake me from it I could he's her voice bt could nt shift this dream it lasted 5 mins and behind me was a presants I cnt explain since that day I feel it every where I go and as of yesterday I have had a dream u explained hear it is the most scarist # manure # I have ever experienced and I am worried that It or what ever is back because I have nt dreamed since that day ever or that can remember
Sat Oct 04, 2014
i just had that dream and i believe it has to do with the spirit world. you may being drawn to jesus or he may be allowing it to keep us alert to prayer and for your own family. it could be about an unfinished issue that you cant quite put your finger on or figure out and he is allowing you to ask for his help. hope this helps. i think this was more for me than you. ; )
Fri Sep 26, 2014
yes, i have researched that too with my out of body experiences. i used to have very vivid dreams of flying when i was younger but that has not happened for some time. i have also experienced while in the lucid dream phase just recently an almighty searing pain in the small of my back that renders me paralyzed, like i've been shot or stabbed which eventually, not straight away, awakes me in real life. i've read that while experiencing astral projection, an important part of protecting your body and your astral self is a 'silver cord'. apparently there are 'beings' out there that can sever this silver cord while you're astral but the chances of this happening are very rare. this has happened to me a few times over the past few weeks having never experienced it before.
Fri Sep 19, 2014
i've been plagued by this for so long i decided to see if anyone else has experienced these 'dreams'. i'm so surprised to read what i've been experiencing over the years by so many people. i thought i was going insane. however, during my experiences, i wake up, in my own bed, in my darkened bedroom. i feel a sense that i am not alone and the surrounding darkness feels somewhat suffocating. i climb out of bed and turn my light switch on, knowing the light will never come on. no matter how many times i flick the switch it never comes on and i am always aware that this happens before i try flicking the switch. i then begin to levitate and float out of my room all the while screaming but no sound comes out. i then float down the stairs knowing my parents are in the living room watching the tv. i float into the lounge to show them what is happening to me as i'm unable to verbally tell them as i am mute. all the while mouthing 'look, look what's happening to me, i told you and you didn't believe me!'. it is at this point i physically wake up. i know throughout this all i am aware that i am dreaming. i have since found out that this is maybe a lucid dream reality check. another reality check of lucid dreaming is..powers - 'are you able to fly (just visualize it), unlock doors or use other magical powers? try to change the shape of your body or walk through a wall, window or mirror?' hence my experience of levitating and floating down the stairs.
li switches and powers are both lucid dream reality checks. i have been intrigued by the lucid dream phenomenon for some time and have since been able to practice lucid dreaming whenever i experience these reality checks and this 'dream' no longer frightens me.
Fri Sep 19, 2014
that's similar to astral projection. like the movie insidious, i used to fly around my town in my dreams a child. i always thought it was my imagination gone wild till i looked it up. there's ways to tell if you're really doing it or just dreaming.
Mon Sep 15, 2014
i've had these dreams all too often. i always feel a dark presence in them. most of the time i can't wake myself up, someone else does, or i wake up in a screaming panic. i just want them to stop i'm only 21 and i've had them since i was a child, they truly terrify me.
Sun Nov 28, 2010
ive had it for years. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? i dont get it. i have it on and off.
Tue Dec 27, 2011
I have these same exact dreams alot and I think it might be attacks from the enemy...I was hoping to find answers too.
Fri May 16, 2014
i've had this dream before many times but it was this time that it felt so real, though i believe in god and jesus i have never yelled their names,when i was in this dream instead the same dream would be happening over and over in the same dream until i finally say my room isn't this big. the reason i say that is because in my dream my room is like a long hallway with light switches that won't work in not scared of the dark but i feel like there's something there and so when i figure out that my room isn't so big or even if i see the slightest difference i wake up. i think the reason might be that you got upset because of someone and it might be haunting you. but that's my opinion, if i helped in any way your welcome
Thu May 15, 2014
i thought that this dream was related to post traumatic stress disorder..
Tue Dec 27, 2011
This has happen to me over and over again for years and still havent found out what it mean. Seem we are all part of something bigger there no way so many of us have the same dreams, our minds are trying to tell us something but yet we feels lost, afraid or even confuse to whats going on. Last night it happen again but this time the lights was dim and i was back in my old apartment were it all started years ago. Im thinking we need to play out the whole dream, from darkness come the light and what we might be afraid of knowing the truth behind all this. Its called the awakening and if your like me and feel your here for something much bigger then you know what i mean.

there are two main types of scary phenomenons in sleep(nightmare and sleep paralysis) that are caused by two main scary symptoms of cardiovascular disease {palpitation and fainting (syncope)}. persons who palpitation is easy to occur are easy to have nightmare, drugs can cause nightmare because drugs can cause palpitation. females are easier to have nightmare than males, because palpitation is easier occur to females than to males. women have a huge amount of nightmares during pregnancy because women experience more palpitations in pregnancy. physical factors that contribute to bad dreams include fever as also sleep because fever causes an increase in the heart rate, when palpitations occurs, people will have two most common feelings: one is tachycardia cause a feeling of seeming to be chasing ; the other is bradycardia or premature beat cause the feeling of heart suspension or heart sinking. therefore, people in sleep accordingly will have the two most common nightmares : one is dream
Tue Apr 30, 2013
Why is this nightmare so common? Here is my unusual, but maybe true answer. I believe evil spirits rather they be Satan and his demons or some thing entirely different bring this and other nightmares to us while we sleep. The said nightmare is the 1 and only recurring nightmare I have. 1 thing that never fails is that an evil spirit who I call Jashin is always there in the darkness waiting for me, and if I do not come to him...then he is going to come to me for torment sake. I am 28 years old and have been having nightmares about the said evil spirit ever since I was 9 years old. My family and I, along with other families in my neighborhood have had our share of bad fortune and experiences with the paranormal ever since the mid 1980s. 1 family down the street had a spirit medium visit their home in an attempt to get answers. In the case of my family and I our home has been "cleaned" more than once. My only explanations for why we are the prey of evil spirits are as follows. They are interested in the ruin of man. They are interested in turning man away from God. They feed on our negative energy, which gives them strength. Finally, they find amusement and pleasure in tormenting us. Your thoughts are welcome.

When i was little i had a dream wher i was walking up he road in the middle of the night. as i looked into the night sky the moon was an giant eye. i continued to walk up the road then i was teleported to my friends backyard. then to my room. i woke up but it was an false awaking. so i woke up again and feltl such unease. i went to turn on a light but it didn't work. i woke up again i felt like i was going to die if i didn't turn on the light. i tried again and again but to no avial did it turn on. one of the last times i woke up there was somthing looking right at me. i was frozen, screaming but no sound came from my lips. i tried to call out "in the name of Jesus devil begone"didn't work and that usually works for me. but it was like i was muted. i screamed and screamed and nothing came out. i couldn't wake up. i cant remember what finally woke me up. lol tis creepy
Thu Mar 21, 2013
i once dreamt i was stuck in my bathroom and i could not turn on the light and i could see "someone" (kind of a shadow of someone) observing me from outside the bathroom and it was scary. since then i get chills when a light don't turn on in real life.
Sun Mar 10, 2013
I hate when I have dreams when I can't turn on the light, because it always makes me feel like something bad is going to happen to me, and something usually does. the room I always try to turn the light on is my bathroom. It scares me just as much as you, and I wish these dreams would stop, but obviously we can't really control it

Genuine Tantric massage, London
I have been offering tantric massage in London and elsewhere since 2007: I have trained with many world leaders in this field and now also teach internationally myself. From my studies and practice, I have evolved my own system that I am really delighted to offer to you. It draws together different kinds of touch from my training, into a massage based on the elements:
Water: flowing & sensual touch / welcoming emotions & feeling / cultivating wave like expanded orgasm (as oppose to peak model)
Earth: feeling weight / earthiness / form / focusing on releasing tension (can include bioenergetics de-armoring, good for healing PE and ED)
Air: circulating energy / awareness of subtle pathways / energy and breath orgasms / awakening subtle sensation
Fire: passion and creativity / turning up the intensity of sensation / going to the edges of what we physically experience as pleasurable / can include the erotic pleasures of pain and intensity
From my practice I see that everyone needs very different kinds of touch. A muscular person for instance who does lots of yoga, is going to need a very different kind of touch to someone who is very sensitive and psychically aware. The system I have evolved helps clients to better know their own unique channel of pleasure, and to maybe also try out new kinds of sensation you are unfamiliar with.
I also work successfully with issues such as shyness, low self esteem, premature ejacualtion, errectile dysfunction, simply becoming more confident about yourself sexually, emotionally and your body image. For more information on this see Tantric Massage Therapy>> and Awakening Eros>>
I often work with women, sessions can be tailored to go at a pace that feels right for you and don't have to begin with tantric massage (though can do if you want to!). For themes that women might explore in a session read more here Healing Yoni Massage London >>
Tantric massage sessions also include:
- meditative practices to help you enter into a genuine tantric experience
- cultivating ejaculatory choice & / or learning to edge to increase pleasure
- circulating and expanding erotic energy
- how to enter erotic trance states
Sessions create a safe, sensual and fun learning environment for you – from nervous first timers to seasoned sensual travellers, you are in safe and experienced hands with me! Don't take my word for it, read some of my client testimonials>>.

Hundreds of people packed a Poulton church to pay tribute to former Blackpool FC stadium announcer Chris Hull.
The 64-year-old died suddenly on holiday in Italy.
Funeral director Chris was the man behind the microphone at the football club until 2006 when he retired.
St John the Evangelist RC Church, Poulton was overflowing on Saturday as family, colleagues and friends paid glowing tributes to the larger-than-life character.
The service was relayed by loudspeaker to scores of people outside the church - many of whom were wearing the tangerine colours of his beloved Blackpool FC.
Blackpool FC owner Owen Oyston was among the mourners. The service heard that Chris "lit up a room" with his personality and humour.
It's the saddest of days for all of us - for his family and all who knew him.Fr John Walsh
Parish priest Fr John Walsh said Chris was a good man and a good friend to everyone.
He said: "It's the saddest of days for all of us - for his family and all who knew him.
"It will be difficult to find a man like Chris again.
"He was a very good friend to me too and I shall miss him very much."
Chris was raised and lived in Poulton and was well known to all in the area as a funeral director, and beyond through his work at Blackpool FC.
His son, also Chris, said his dad lit up the room with his personality and sense of humour.
His personal touch was appreciated by all bereaved families he dealt with.
To laughter, Chris joked: "He would have loved this, wouldn't he? There's a sea of Tangerine.
"As Blackpool fans we're not used to such a big crowd."
Chris junior said his dad was "a diamond of a man. He was unique."
Chris senior was the stadium announcer at Bloomfield Road for 28 years until 2006 and led a fundraising campaign to have a statue of 1953 FA Cup Final hat-trick hero Stan Mortensen put up outside the ground.
Chris senior also leaves a widow Kate and daughter Claire.
