Last summer, when I was still experiencing supernatural stuff I dream about plenty of things such as portals to other worlds and other entities and even made some friends with them together with cousin and two of our neighbors. I had a dream somewhere at that time. I dreamt that my house was destroyed and had some fire inside of it too, me and my sister evacuated but before I went out I went back inside the house to save my dream journal but instead of doing that I took another notebook that I own. I passed by my mom's room and saw a long white candle stuck on the table I went inside and I just somehow knew that an entities soul was trapped inside the notebook, I had the urge to burn the notebook but then I saw the entity begging me to not burn it for he will die, that entity had a very deep male voice and he looked like a black figure with two white oval eyes and long fingers.
I pitied him so I gave him a second chance but I jokingly put the notebook near the the fire and he would be frantic about it but I accidentally put the notebook too near the fire and a small tip of it was caught on fire and I immediately put it out by stepping on it.
A few days after the dream I told my cousin and she freaked out on me. We had another entity who was our friend and he told her that the shadow person that I saw in the dream was his enemy and it was some kind of trial or test for me but I messed up for saving him thus my cousin scolding me and I felt really bad. Another few days had passed and I woke up in the middle of the night and I saw at the corner of the room that shadow person in my dream, just standing there but now I noticed that he had antlers or branch-like horns on his head, terrified I shut my eyes and went back to sleep. The next night I woke up again and I saw the shadow person again but this time he's a few inches closer to me now. He crouched down and tilted his head to the left, I was paralyzed with fear I couldn't move, I was scared that if I move he might do something so I just shut my eyes and hope that he will go away and prayed a little, while my eyes were clothes I heard scratching noises on the floor which made me even more scared, after a few minutes have passed I opened my eyes again and he was gone and he never showed up again.
Thank you for the meaningfull comments, I have already knew the morals of playing with such things and they never showed up again. The entity that was my friend was lying to me for kicks and I knew it and drove him away and he is angry at me but I did had a dream that he was rather patient with me and was willing to talk about it but it just stopped.
Anyway I'm getting off topic I know what youe getting at and thank you for the advice
