I have seen good and bad things in dreams
i have had premonition dreams
and also was blessed by a great sage during a subconscious time
I think regular spiritual practice and chanting keeps away negative entities

I had seen a shadowy figure standing over me while I slept a few times but I don't think it was a demon. It's a symptom of Sleep Paralysis. I don't believe in things like demons

My experience was while I was practicing Tai Chi Chuan, or rather Chi Kung exercises that aid in Tai Chi Chuan involving focusing energy.

As far as the experience?

"Tao that can be called Tao
Is not true Tao
The Name that can be named
Is not the true Name"

Sorry. I will say this: It was more of a promise than anything else. And it was extraordinary.

I used to dream about the devil. He was either systematically destroying the earth or pretending to be my friend in order to get me to do what he wanted. Somehow in my dreams I always knew he was lying, even though I can never tell when people do that in real life. :P I don't consider them spiritual experiences though, just dreams. I am not a spiritual person.

Certainly, but not ones based on western dualistic traditions.
I have many spiritual experiences while out in Nature, and while meditating.
To describe them would not do them justice, so I'll have to leave it there.
