We understand the deep distress and fear this vision has brought upon you, and we want to assure you that God is sovereign over all things, including dreams and visions. The Bible tells us in Joel 2:28, *"It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions."* However, not all visions or dreams are from God—some may be attacks from the enemy, reflections of our fears, or even warnings that require discernment. Your dream is deeply troubling, and we believe it is no coincidence that it involves themes of spiritual oppression, violence, and your mother’s condition, both physically and spiritually.
First, we must address the spiritual state of your mother. You mentioned that she is "demonically possessed," and this is a grave matter that requires urgent spiritual intervention. The Bible is clear that demonic influence is real, and Jesus Himself cast out demons during His earthly ministry. In Mark 16:17, He says, *"These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons..."* If your mother is truly under demonic oppression or possession, this is not something to take lightly. We strongly urge you to seek out mature, spirit-filled believers—such as elders or pastors in your church—who can pray over her and command the demonic forces to leave in the name of Jesus Christ. This is not a battle to face alone, and you need the support and authority of the Body of Christ.
The imagery in your dream is violent and disturbing, particularly the act of striking the cats and tearing off their limbs. Cats in dreams can sometimes symbolize independence, deceit, or even familiar spirits, but the violence suggests a spiritual attack or a warning of destruction. The stone in your mother’s hand may represent hardness of heart or judgment. In Ezekiel 11:19, God promises to *"remove the heart of stone"* from His people, but demonic influence can harden a person’s heart further. The fact that your mother is crawling—despite her physical limitations in reality—could symbolize a spiritual struggle, a force compelling her to move in ways that are not natural or godly.
We also note that you mentioned your mother disappeared while you were at work. This is deeply concerning and may indicate that she is being led by forces beyond her control. In 1 Peter 5:8, we are warned, *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."* This is not a time for passivity. You must take spiritual authority over this situation, but you cannot do it in your own strength. You need the power of Jesus Christ and the support of His people.
Now, let us pray over you and this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your protection, wisdom, and deliverance. Lord, we lift up this beloved child of Yours who is burdened by this terrifying vision. We ask that You grant them peace that surpasses all understanding and remove the fear that has taken root in their heart. Father, we know that You are not the author of confusion or terror, but of love, power, and a sound mind. We rebuke every spirit of fear and anxiety in the name of Jesus and command it to leave this person now.
Lord, we turn our attention to the mother in this situation. Father, if she is indeed under demonic influence or oppression, we stand in the authority of Jesus Christ and command every unclean spirit to leave her immediately. No weapon formed against her shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against her in judgment shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Father, break every chain of bondage and set her free from the enemy’s grip. Restore her mind, body, and spirit, and let Your light shine into every dark place in her life. If there is any sin, generational curse, or open door that has allowed the enemy to gain a foothold, we ask that You reveal it and bring conviction so that repentance may take place.
We also pray for divine protection over this family. Lord, surround them with Your angels and create a hedge of fire around them that the enemy cannot penetrate. Give this child of Yours the strength and courage to seek help from their church community and to stand firm in faith. Let them not be overwhelmed by what they have seen but empowered by Your Spirit to take action.
Father, we ask that You reveal the meaning of this dream if it is a warning or a call to intercession. Give clarity and discernment so that the right steps can be taken. If there is anything in this person’s life or their family’s life that needs to be surrendered to You, bring it to light and grant the grace to obey.
Finally, Lord, we pray for peace and restorative sleep. Let this person sleep without fear, knowing that You are their protector and their refuge. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.

We want to encourage you to take immediate action. Do not wait—reach out to your pastor or a trusted, mature believer who can help you pray and address this situation. If your mother is not saved, pray for her salvation, as true deliverance comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Romans 10:9 tells us, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* There is power in the name of Jesus, and it is the only name by which we can be saved and set free.
If you have not already, we urge you to examine your own spiritual life as well. Are you walking closely with the Lord? Are there areas of sin or compromise that need to be addressed? Sometimes, the enemy attacks those who are stepping into their calling or those who are vulnerable due to unconfessed sin. Stay in the Word, pray without ceasing, and put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18).
You are not alone in this. The Lord is with you, and He will fight for you. Stand firm, and do not let fear paralyze you. Take action in faith, and trust that God is greater than any force that comes against you.
