To dream of an evil old woman hag attacking you in your bed (old hag syndrome) by placing pressure on your chest represents feelings of being paralyzed by the demands or negativity of someone with passive behavior who has wasted their time, and the fear that giving into these demands could result in your own stagnation or decline. The overwhelming stress or emotional burden you feel in dealing with an irrelevant person who has grown bitter, resentful, or manipulative over time. This type of dream is often an amplification of your anxieties about being manipulated or used by someone who is stuck in a negative mindset and expects you to sacrifice your own well-being or progress for their sake. This dream may be a sign that you are holding back anger because you think it might get back at you. It may be best to avoid or cut off communication with someone passive who is causing you frustration which you have privately kept to yourself. Evil or ignorant irrelevant passivity that feels like it's sucking the life out of you while you avoid discussing it.

Example: A young man dreamed of being attacked in his sleep by an old hag who sucked in the energy of his words while he tried to curse at it. In waking life, he was dealing with a friend who wasted all their life never getting an education of any kind and then talking to him like he needed to help them build a business while doing all the work or be made to feel he wasn't a real friend. He felt trapped being unable to get angry about what he really wanted to say to his friend. In this case, the hag may have reflected his feelings of frustration about his friend's persistent passive behavior that was stuck in a negative state of jealousy, wasted time, with an unwillingness to change or improve their own life unless it was completely using the dreamer.
