Dreaming of Satan

satan, demon, Lucifer · mostly negative, unless you defeat him

Satan warns of dangerous adventures and temptation; defeating him means choosing a better path.

You try to shield yourself from him: you'll try to shake off selfish pleasures and treat others better
You kill him: you'll leave bad company for a better way of life
He takes the form of music or a beautiful person: you may give in to seduction
You see Satan: dangerous adventures, and scheming to keep up appearances
He appears as literature: beware of flatterers and easy friendships
He takes the shape of wealth or power: you'll fail to use your influence for the common good

Temptation: the dream often reflects an inner tug-of-war between desire and conscience
Fear: it may echo worry about being led astray
