Violence in Dreams

Have you ever dreamt of violence, or of experiencing the fear and terror of harm coming to those around you? If so, you are not alone! The dream of violence is a common one, and it often symbolizes the feeling of threat and danger in the waking life.

When you dream of violence, it can be a powerful message from your subconscious mind, telling you that you are feeling threatened and vulnerable in your waking life. If you manage to go unharmed while others are harmed in your dream, it may be a sign that you are feeling a sense of responsibility for the actions and experiences of those around you.

To understand the meaning of your dream of violence, it’s important to pay attention to the details. Who was being harmed in the dream? How did you feel during the dream? These details can all hold important clues to the message your subconscious mind is trying to convey.

Let’s take a closer look at the symbolism of violence in dreams. Violence can often symbolize the fear and insecurity that comes with facing big challenges in life, such as those related to work or relationships. When you dream of violence, it can be a sign that you are feeling threatened and vulnerable, and that you are seeking a way to cope with the difficulties and obstacles in your life.

For example, a young woman who dreamt of violence felt a sense of fear and panic. She realized that this dream was a message from her subconscious mind that she was feeling threatened and vulnerable in her personal life. She had been facing a big challenge in her relationship, and this dream gave her the motivation she needed to seek help and work through the difficulties she was facing.

Another man dreamt of violence at work. He felt a sense of fear and vulnerability, and he realized that this dream was a message from his subconscious mind that he was feeling threatened and vulnerable in his professional life. He had been facing a big challenge in his career, and this dream gave him the courage he needed to start seeking out new opportunities and taking control of his professional life.

Finally, a woman dreamt of violence in her community. She felt a sense of responsibility and guilt, and she realized that this dream was a message from her subconscious mind that she was feeling a sense of responsibility for the experiences and well-being of those around her. She had been feeling a strong sense of obligation to her community, and this dream gave her the inspiration she needed to start seeking out ways to make a positive impact and help those in need.

  2. I had a dream that a grotesquely shaped human (humpback with a long kneck and bulging eyes) was killing all my family and eating them, I forget most of the details but when he came for me I was sitting in my room with a kitchen knife and he said your going to be as tasty as the rest and then he came at me and somehow I got the knife around his kneck and was strangling him with it and at that point I jerked awake and still struggled for a few seconds not realizing I was awake. It turned out I was strangling a pillow. I am utterly confused and worried about what this dream may mean.

  3. I had a dream that I was talking to my step dad and he was telling me that I needed to get a ride home from work that night and that my mom wouldn’t pick me up (because my mom helping me out in situations has become an increasing issue with him for some reason) and I responded saying “Whatever.” and all the sudden he stood up and walked behind me to the couch where my mom was sitting and I heard her say hi to him, and then I heard crashing like he someone had fallen over, and I turned around expecting something absurd like he had tackled her and was kissing her. Instead, he was on the ground strangling her and I heard her struggle for breath and I woke up. This really disturbed me.

  4. I have been having dreams where I get so mad at loved ones that I just start to hit them for stupid reasons and reasons that aren’t me. It’s like for no reason I just get so mad that I start hitting people, and even my dog. I’m the type of person that only gets mad for like 5 minutes and I say my peace and then I’m over it. I don’t get mad to the point of hitting people or anything so naturally these dreams are scaring the bajesus out of me. Why am I attacking the people and pets I love more than anything in this world?

  5. I had a very disturbing dream. Near where I grew up there was a rapist on the loose. Everybody was looking for him, and I saw him pop up out of the grass, and there was a chase. He went into the back yard and into a shed that had stairs that went down into a labyrinth. I went into it as well, I wandered the halls looking for the rapist. I was not afraid, the place looked like something out of a bad horror movie, I was not afraid at all. I didn’t find the rapist, but again up in the backyard I kept seeing him pop up amongst all these people looking and I would point him out and he would hide again. Someone in the crowd gave me a paint bucket on the end of a rope to defend myself with. When he popped up again he went running across open ground. Nobody else was going after him, so I went with my paint bucket. He fell to the ground and begged me, I hit him with my paint bucket, once, twice, three times. The third time landed squarely on his head and there was a cracking noise and his eye was half open and watering and I thought maybe I’d killed him. I walked away, thinking casually of how he could possibly have been innocent, that certainly even if he was guilty that he was human and someone’s child, and that I couldn’t take it back but that I would live with it forever no matter how I felt about it. It was VERY DISTURBING, I am not a violent person, had no idea as dark as my nightmares can be, that my subconscious self could be capable of such things. Wow

  9. I had a dream about my catching my boyfriend coming down stairs with a another girl trying to put their clothes on, I engaged them very upset and crying saying how could you do this what did I do to you and my boyfriend started slapping me and then the girl did as well the last part I remember is being on the floor and watching them walk out hand in hand kissing each other.
    This is the second cheating dream I’ve had in a week.
    I’ve never had dreams like this before, violence is nothing new to me in my dreams but cheating with violence is and its scary because it felt so real like my face felt like it hurt when I woke up.
