Thank you for sharing. Obviously we as Christians believe in the reality of spirit beings and spiritual forces. I don't have any direct experience, but friends of mine have: various dreams, visions, spectres, etc., like yours but different (obviously).
In one period in my life I was very interested in dreams, and actually made a point of keeping track of my dreams for 3 years. When I became aware of a dream during the night I would rouse myself (never fun) and write down enough of the dream to be able to remember it the next morning. Then I would analyze it, using sites like dreammoods.com. What I discovered after 3 years of disturbing my sleep and faithfully journaling is that there were never any real messages or meanings to any of my dreams, but somehow they were all just weird versions of me processing my thoughts. In other words, if I was upset I would dream about whatever, and when i looked it up the next day it would say, "Well, 'whatever' means you're upset." Duh, I knew that. But that's what all my dreams were: new initiatives, fear, upset, setting goals, failure at something—whatever I was going through, feelings, thinking, and doing, that's what I was dreaming about. I was surprised through the years to find out that the elements in my dreams were common enough that the website (most of the time) pretty much nailed it on the head.
I also learned through that experience that there were certain symbols in my dreams that were common to my dreams. But I figured this out through the years. For instance, even though I'm long gone from my college years, whenever I dream I'm in college, it's a symbol for failure, death, confusion, and disarray (which is odd, because I liked college and did well in it.). "House" was a symbol for my life. "Camp" was a symbol for my job—you get the idea. I started figuring out the pattern of my dreams. But they never really meant anything. They were more like a weird visual journal of my mood and what was going on with me.
I still have that journal of 3 years of dreams.
So, I went to that website, and of course, neither Isis nor Osiris are there. From this site (
https://isiopolis.com/2014/12/14/the-is ... ur-dreams/), Isis symbolizes that others view you as a healer. From this site (
https://www.universeofsymbolism.com/god-osiris.html), Osiris is a symbol of balance (between good and evil, harmony and chaos). I'm not gifted as a dream interpreter, but I wouldn't necessarily think that demons are plaguing you. Dreams can be VERY weird (you should read mine!), and I found they're often symbols of my psyche, not of anything spiritual.
But if you feel spiritual oppression in your life and in your home, what I've heard from people who have experienced the same kind of stuff is that they had some decor, furniture, statues, or pictures in their home that were remnants of that era of dabbling in the occult, and they had to get that stuff out of their home. Spiritual forces are real, and sometimes these material items maintain an "invitation," so to speak, of them to you. It's just a thought. See what others say.
