The Big Dictionary of Dreams
by Martha Clarke
The image of the devil in a dream (whether he has horns and tail) indicates that you should not be tempted to use illegal means in order to achieve your goals. It means that you are in an obscure, hidden situation, or that you have a double intention. In addition, the devil can impersonate your fears, desires that you repress, or some misconduct in real life. The best weapon against the latter is to make use of love and honesty.
The figure of Satan appears in the Jewish, Islamic, and Christian traditions. Originally, it represented fertility and the powers of nature. Maybe your unconscious is giving you the keys (compost) for your inner growth.

The darker side of the spiritual realm, a demon is a being that feeds on fear and hatred. When a demon appears in a dream, you are being put on notice that your shadow side is out of control and things that are sparking fear are getting the better of you.
A demon can also be an indication that you have been ignoring a destructive pattern for a very long time.
