What is your interpretation of this Psychologically WILD Dream I Had?

[Zenterus]

I had one of the most psychologically interesting dreams I’ve had in a long time.

 

In the dream, my mom, my sister and I went to hell. Not in a dramatic fire-and-brimstone way, more like it was some kind of building or place you could visit. I am merely a child in this dream. At some point they left me alone on a different floor. I remember them reassuring me that it was safe and that they'd be back soon, but once I was alone, strange and frightening things slowly started happening around me.

 

I called out for my sister and could hear her answering me from another floor, so I knew she was somewhere nearby, but she never came. I wasn’t completely abandoned, but I was still alone in dealing with what was happening around me.

 

I became more and more afraid as weird eery phenomena were increasing in prevalence and eventually I started breaking things around me almost as a form of retaliation. Like I was trying to reclaim power or stop myself from feeling weak and trapped.

 

Then the devil appeared.

 

Oddly enough, he didn’t torture me or attack me. At first he reprimanded me for breaking things, but eventually he became almost like a companion. I remember cleaning up the mess while talking to him and how comfortable I felt in his presence.

 

At one point I looked in a mirror and my entire body was pale white, almost powdery. There was also a strange white spot on my lip that briefly made me panic, as if it were some kind of disease or STD, but then calmed myself down and I convinced myself it was nothing.

 

After that, the dream shifted into normal day-to-day life, except I was older and the devil followed me everywhere. He looked almost like a white shadow. He was constantly present beside me yet ackowledged by no one except me.

 

Eventually I fell in love with a girl, and I realized that if I wanted a real relationship with her, I had to get rid of him. At first I tried fighting him whenever he appeared, especially when he tried to interfere while I was with her. Over time his interference became violent and we would end up in these anime-style battles where I was trying to protect my girl and myself from him. But over time I realized something strange:

He couldn’t actually hurt me.

His strikes would just phase through me.

 

Over time, I also realized that he also couldn’t hurt her.

In fact, the more I stopped reacting to him, stopped fearing him, stopped acknowledging him, the weaker he became. He would still lash out sometimes, but it stopped affecting me. I'd just ignore him and eventually, over time, he just faded into the background and disappeared.

I woke up from that dream with a lot of clarity. I know exactly what this dream means and what it is pointing me towards.

But I wonder, what is your interpretation of such a dream?
