They can affect moods and thoughts, and they can influence a person according to that person’s own inclinations – but they cannot influence or cause people to act against their own free will.  The Djinn have free will, too. They can possessed anyone in their sleep too.

The Djinn are able to upset anyone and makes the person lose faith in their religion. A person might go in a state of dazed and confused when he or she is spiritually disturbed. The victim of the attack may also suffer low self esteem and no confidence.

Most often these victims will behave in a state of full of anger and very suicidal in their thoughts. Fear and depression dominates their life and most of they are anti social.

Like some other entities, they can cause unpleasant dreams, especially “dreams” that are real experiences in an alternate reality.  When they wish to manipulate and control, they are capable of interfering in sleep. They can possessed anyone even during their sleep.

Many techniques are advertised, but it has been acknowledged by Middle Eastern scholars for centuries that if the Djinn don’t want to go, it is difficult to force them out.  Some may agree to go with bargaining and persuasion, and some may agree to go as a ruse, only to return at a later time.  Some may go if they fear punishment from more powerful Djinn or angels, who can be invoked against them.  The ancient practice of beating a demoniac may make the physical body too unpleasant for them.  Some of them have an ancient and strong attachment to the land and can resist dislodgment.  It is a mistake for Christian demonologists to think that remedies applied against Satanic demons will always work against the Djinn.  In some cases, they might be effective, but in others they will not.
