The prayers of a believer don't fade away. They rise up before God like incense. He doesn't forget the prayers of His children.
Revelation 8:3-5
3 Another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel.
5 Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar [where these millions of prayers are burning] and threw it on the earth, and there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

I keep getting intense nightmares and waking up upset and getting sleep paralysis. I stopped having those nightmares until october when they starged again. It's not a specific nightmare, just weird scary dreams and a lot of them take place in my old childhood room. Stopped having sleel paralysis until oct too.
I'm concerned that I don't truly have the holy spirit within me. I'm disobedient to god and I still harbor unforgiveness although I do my best to let it go. Would he still allow prayers to protect use even if we are like this?
I believe God wants you to surrender to Him and allow Him to reveal whatever it is that is trying to surface in your dreams. Have you asked God why you keep having nightmares about your childhood bedroom?
I've asked him. I don't think I'm doing a great job listening though. I think I need to be more in my word as well. He definitely speaks tl me there.
It's unforgiveness toward people. Particularly my sisters and sometimes mother. I will say too though, that I kept having dreams about one sister in particular. So maybe he's calling me to truly forgive that sister.
Can you identify exactly what it is that you're struggling to forgive them for?
It was some pain that they caused me. It was around the same time I lived in that room. My sisters would bully me and exclude me and recently this specific sister copied something that she used to bully me for. That has made me upset and I've thought about it a lot. It sounds really dumb I know. I feel like these siblings genuinely traumatized me and it's the reason I don't speak to them now. They always made me feel too anxious to be around the family and I feel like yhose are years I'll never get back.
Are you able to distance yourself from them, release them to God, choose forgiveness even if you don't feel it yet, and work on these wounds with the Lord?
It's hearing about how this person's life is transpiring. It's making me envious because a lot of the things I wanted they are copying and completing when i was the person that came up with the ideas, but didn't get a lot of them off the ground.
Praying with you for peaceful nights and a free heart. Psalm 4:8: "In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety." Your prayers are not wasted, and He keeps watch over you while you sleep. A few verses on His peace gathered here: Bible Verses for Peace: Scriptures for an Anxious Mind
Release those dreams to God and seek Him. Maybe He has something totally new and different for you. What HE has for you is far beyond what you can imagine.
