Disturbing dream involving crosses and Jesus

I had a disturbing dream and I’m trying to make sense of it.

Honestly, i can’t remember the details, just the essence but here we go : in the dream, I kept seeing multiple crosses and Jesus crucified but not in a peaceful or holy way. The atmosphere was dark and frightening, and I felt uneasy. There were also sick or malformed children with blood on their face, a presence of demons, and an overall nightmare-like energy. Toward the end, a bad or abusive man appeared and replaced one of the crucifixes with something covered in serpents. Someone next to me seemed shocked, and there was a sense that everything was “energetically tied” ,as if evil was mocking or corrupting something sacred. I remember feeling kind of afraid of Jesus because he was surroudned by bad things.

I woke up around 3 AM (the so-called “devil’s hour”), which made it even more unsettling. Even though I wasn’t that scared afterward and I prayed, I was left with a strange feeling, like the dream was twisting my view of Jesus or trying to make me afraid of Him, or to make me question his goodness, which I know isn’t right.

It’s also kind of important to mention that I used to be an atheist and only recently I started trying to get closed to God.

Has anyone else had dreams like this or thoughts about sacred things being mocked or inverted in dreams? What do you think it means? I’m feeling a bit disturbed
