I don't know at what point of the night my dreaming became interrupted this morning (2am-3am est) but a really strong dream caused me to become increasingly agitated and I began talking out loud in a moaning incantation (my wife said it sounded native american) and I realized in the dream I was trying to ward off and evil spirit or presence that was affecting me I know I was speaking english in the dream because I heard myself, but my outward speech was different. The few words I do remember "Evil spirits leave....this". I never experienced anything like this before and was wondering if someone had any insight into it?
My rational thinking is that I was just having a bad nightmare and reacted to the situation with a fight or flight response, for which I fought back with an incantation or prayer influenced by television or a book.
My other thinking came up with the conclusion that during the night I was being attacked by some presence or physical condition and some benevolent spirit influence or astral persona took over and handled the protection for me.
It's my personal experience that . . . yes, there are "benevolent possessions"
AND teachers that I find incredibly reliable tell me that there is no such thing and that my perspective is just confused (which does indeed happen on occasion)
I do know (safety tip) that when "benevolent possession" as you called it has happened it's an indicationt that I need to get really busy dealing with some doorway I've somehow left hanging open. Spirits don't bail me out of the same trouble much more than about twice.
