Interpretation from the Book of Changes (Yijing):
Psychological interpretation of dreams:
Dreaming of a demon generally symbolizes the need to acknowledge and accept one's wild and primal side, even though it may cause fear and discomfort. It is essential to embrace and align with it rather than resist it. When you realize that it is a universal aspect that everyone must face, the power of the demon diminishes.
Psychological analysis: The demon in the dream represents the evil side of human nature personified, the beastly nature that one dares to confront. If you fear your own passions, anger, and emotions, they may manifest as demons in your dreams.
Symbolic representation: The boundary between friends and enemies can sometimes be blurry. You may need to examine yourself closely to discern any evil or hypocritical behavior.
