I dreamt of demons last night

They weren't scary until mom told me they were demons

Before that, it was just a door that wouldn't stay closed

It was my asking it (the door, a previously inanimate object) to stay closed that prompted mom to enlighten me to the demon in the closet

She said that my interacting with it would give it power over me

I forgot that advice the next time the door opened until after I had already told it stay closed, when it was too late. The demon had hold over me

It brought me down to my hands and knees on the ground, unrelinquishing in it's power

I begged mom for help

She was reluctant but finally helped me

And then quit halfway through

I barely had enough strength to complete the banishing

Usually these types of dreams only happen when I get so hot that I sweat and essentially fever dream

But I woke up dry and comfortable, for once

So why did I dream of demons in a closet and an abandoning mother?
