English term or phrase: sympathetic dread
O contexto é o seguinte:

‘Do you have any idea what he looks like?’ I asked.
‘Sometimes in my dreams I see a face. It could be him.’
‘What kind of face?’
‘You know.’ He raised his hands to the side of his head and
made horns with his index fingers. It might have been an
amusing reversion to childish caricature, but Jim’s expression
was serious and I couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathetic
dread. What must it be like, I asked myself again, to feel
so profoundly violated?

É um jovem que conta a seu terapeuta estar possuído pelo demônio.

Obrigado a todos desde já!
