I haven’t really mentioned this until now. I dreamt I was sleeping in my house and the first guy kind big with two horns, When I looked through the demons that looks like Renove accompanied by many others we’re outside my window and he was looking in. Outside my window was an open field
But I felt safe because my windows were shut and my door was locked. Then the second guy came by He looks like he had the head of a unicorn and sharp claws, I think it look like Amaducsias and he was also accompanied by many others. I vaguely remember many feasting upon me. I look and realize the window was left unlocked. And it was open. When I woke up in the morning I was totally drained of energy.
I really don’t know anything about demons. Except for that I was possessed by one before, and I took a picture of one. And that I talk to my guide whose name is Bera, I think it means son of light.
Maybe I’m losing my mind, but upon research, and finding Amdusias’ animal is a bird, I froze. I’ve had a hawk who perches outside my window. I thought it was because I own bird (albino mourning dove), and her cage is right in front of that window, but I’m not too sure. I’ve seen him since October. Also, when I was on a cruise in December, getting off I saw two ravens fly and land on the railing to the exit. They flew away when I past. I may seem like a loon, but I never saw it as a coincidence, my boyfriend just told me it’s nothing (he’s not a believer). I’ve always noticed birds, even a robin who sits on my fence as well. And what ever my bird doesn’t eat at the end of the day, I give to the birds, and refill her bowl.
