i do have a dream catcher...but its been with me for a long time and it doesnt seem to keep everything out...so dunno, maybe i should replace it? i dont think i ever properly charged it myself. it works but only minimally. as for gargoyles, i will follow your advice.
I've noticed that when I sleep under a dream catcher my dreams are always hazy and hard to remember. So I have never really found much use for them. However I have wondered how long a dream catcher would work because basically what it does is trap negative energy like fly paper traps flies. And we all probably know that fly paper only works for so long. I think maybe all you might need to do is cleanse the dream catcher you have and it should to its thing. But if a dream catcher is like a spider's web it'll catch flies and such, but big things will still break past it. I think a nice big ole dragon could be useful at stopping anything negative or harmful.

you have a good point that i may have guides trying to reach me. that is why i chose to treat this more delicately and posted the question on forum rather than follow my first instinct and just blast my problem with 20+ fortified magic (my brother is the gamer ) hehe. anyway, its not TOO serious but if i let it sit, these things tend to fester and get worse.
Have you been keeping a dream journal? That is probably the easiest way to know if you're being contacted - or targeted for that matter. That or litterally be lucid while dreaming and be able to interact with what ever forces may be at work.

Sounds like a personal matter (IMG:

If people are actively trying to intrude within your dreams then it is no wonder you're dreaming the things you are. If more than one person tries to invade your dreams you mind can get overwhelmed by the thought that you are powerless to stop them. This is only the power of suggestion and it is false. All the people in the world might try to invade your dreams and you could stop them.
Dream incubation is the art of manipulating your dreams through the power of suggestion.
I remember when I was a little kid, like 7-8, I would have bad dreams now and again. And the way I ended up coping with them was to set up little plastic army men around my room to create a sort of perimmiter around me. And I don't men I just set up little soldiers I had tanks, helicopters, jets, cannons, and some GI joe ninja assassins to boot. I had an army on my side. Being that at the time I was a child the feeling that I had an army on my side made me feel safe and protected from bad dreams. This is a form of dream incubation. The army suggested to my mind that I was safe and believed it and it was true. Now the army men really didn't do anything they simply allowed my mind to compensate for its insecurity.
You are not a child. You are an adult and such childish measures probably wouldn't affect you the same way. But what you can do, alternatively, is is place items of importance around you. These can be pictures of loved ones, jewlry from a lover or family member, really anything of importance to you, even old childhood toys if they carry signficance. What this does is fortify your mind and reinforce the idea that you are safe within your room and able to sleep peacefully and safely, free from intrusions. If your room is already packed with such items then before you go to bed just spend a few minutes going over some of the more important things and remember the memories you stored within them - ummm but only if they're happy ones though. Once you're satisified that you are relaxed and feel safe then go to bed and before you close your eyes tell yourself - "tonight nothing or nobody is going to bother me while I sleep".
Think of your room as a temple, a sacred place where magickal things cannot bother you. Each time you step into your room its like you're really stepping into an impenetrable fortress. Use this, or anywhere you sleep for that matter, to recognize that you are protected and safe from invaders.
