Hmm... It might be too late for this, but maybe you should try summoning a table and offering him a seat, then see if he will explain the situation to you. when and why he is there. Otherwise, you could try charging up the spear with energy, making it stronger and deadlier.
Also, you may be giving up too easily, if the first plan doesn't work, try to think of something else, stand your ground I would say.

with the dream journal, If you plan on continuing journaling (I recommend it highly) you should create one here, otherwise just post the dreams in this thread.

one last note, please take my advice with a grain of salt, I don't have a ton of experience with this kind of thing, just what I've heard from other sources, not much first hand experience.
