I grew up in a house with a basement and the house always had a creepy vibe. My family had several supernatural experiences while living there. After I moved out my father committed suicide in the basement, in my old room.


Strangely enough a friend of mine bought the house and moved in after my father committed suicide and he and his family also had strange experiences, including his young son (around 8 I think) seeing a "man with a bloody face". My friend swears his son didn't know about my father committing suicide but did it by shooting himself so I got the chills when I heard his son had seen that.

Anyway, for around 20 years now I've had a recurring dream where I'm in my old family home and some force would pull me down into that basement room. I could never see what was pulling me down, but it was always the same and it was always terrifying. I knew whatever it was was evil and it was after me. I would feel this force pulling me down into that basement into my old room and then I'd wake up absolutely scared and shaken.


It got to the point where I was so terrified of the dream and this "force" that I finally snapped in my dream and confronted it and lashed out at it which seems to be my default mode when confronted with stress or danger. I managed to "defeat" the force in my dream and woke up feeling much better having conquered my fear.


I still have the dream from time to time but when I have it, I'm now aware I'm having it and It's gotten to the point now where I almost enjoy confronting and defeating the "force" in my dream.

Sorry for rambling but has anyone else ever experienced something like this?

I've had people tell me it's my subconscious trying to tell me not to follow in my dad's footsteps as far as how he dealt with his mental illness goes but I don't know if I believe that.

I get the feeling it's your own mental illness pulling you down. It could be that you still have a lot of grief to work through, as I know I still would in your case. It could be a reminder to be vigilant about your own state of mind and health. They are your dreams and your interpretations are what matters most.
