The Meaning of Being Attacked in a Dream

To dream of attacking or being attacked often relates to issues of control or criticism in life. Even if you feel you are in complete control of your life, you may still have an attacking dream, because deep down, you could be waging a war to stay in control, and fear what would happen if you lost control. Attacking dreams are not usually about wanting to hurt ourselves or others, but can be about our own unresolved internal conflict. Dreams of being attacked or attacking can disturb us with their violence, but attack dreams show us a way to peaceful resolution. (Please note, these insights may not be relevant if you have PTSD and are suffering traumatic dreams that relive your experience. If this is your situation, please do seek personal, empathetic, professional help.)

Attacking dreams are challenging to address because they are often asking us questions such as:
– Where am I being defensive in my life?
– Where may I be hurting myself or someone else in real life?
– What old patterns of behaviour do I need to break?

If you dream you are being attacked, where in your life are you insecure or vulnerable? If in your dream you are doing the attacking, this does not mean you actually want to go out and hurt someone! Consider if you may be self sabotaging your own efforts (bad habits, not finishing things you started, letting people down etc.)
Or for both attacking or being attacked dreams, is there something in your life you need to get rid of, a behaviour or belief that you have outgrown? You may be attacking your own fears and doubts, so to “eliminate” them can be a good thing. Remember, you are not dreaming of real people, but what those people represent to you. If you dream of being attacked by Bob your neighbour, who you see as highly critical, maybe you feel your own critical nature is preventing you from achieving your goals – the voice of self doubt. If you dream you are attacking your old head master at school who you saw as authoritarian and a bit scary, it may be that you need to escape the restrictive rules of authority that you place on yourself.

It can be helpful to look at where you are being attacked in the dream, or doing the attacking. Is it a dream of being stabbed in the back?  You might be betraying your own principles, lying to yourself or someone, or perhaps you should be more careful about whom you trust. Are you being wounded in the heart?  This might be where you are denying your true feelings, or reminding you of when your heart was broken in the past, and asking you to let your heart heal – to stop revisiting an old wound and blaming others for your hurt, and move on. Are you being cut in the throat or cutting someone else in the throat in your dream? This could be asking you to speak up for yourself, to find your own voice. Is it your legs or feet in the dream that are under attack? This could mean you “don’t have a leg to stand on” – that you are basing your beliefs or attitudes on something that has no real grounding, or that you need to learn to stand up for yourself. Is it your eyes? This might mean your dream is asking you where you are turning a blind eye to something, what is you don’t want to see? Or maybe you are seeing something clearly for the first time, as if your old eyes were blind but now you can see. These are just a few ideas to get you started. See what works for you.

Also look at the weapons of attack.  Think what these symbolise to you.  Describe it as you would to a child.  For example, a sword might be described as sharp, precise, a bit old fashioned, used in children’s fairy-tales. How does this relate to your own feelings and behaviour? It might be the critical voice in your head, with sharp words, judging you in an old fashioned manner for behaviour that you learnt as a child was bad.  Whereas a tank is impenetrable, fires from a distance, is large and strong.  This may remind you of a distant father or boss, who didn’t support you but would criticise you and not realise they hurt you.  You might still carry this pain with you, and every time you get hurt, you react to the person as if they were your father or boss, head master, or whatever. Attacking dreams can help release you from that pattern of old pain and start building a new, fresh positive way of interacting with other people, and a more positive voice in your own head.

To help move on, try writing a letter to your attacker or victim, telling them what you feel, why you need to move on from them. Forgive them and release them – tell them you have no need for their outdated behaviour.   You can then burn, bury, or flush this letter down the toilet – symbolising releasing that old pain from your life. It can also be helpful to write one from the attackers point of view – this can give you insight especially if you are attacking your “internal critic” who it can be quite a good thing to silence!

See how your dreams over following nights change to ones of you befriending the attackers or them transforming into something more pleasant, or of them becoming insignificant, powerless, or small.  Look for positive changes in your life where you feel more confident, people seem to relax more around you, and you yourself feel more relaxed.  This means you understood your dream clearly, and acted on it well.  If the attacking dreams continue, keep working at it, try new ideas to see what they are really saying.  And don’t feel bad if it is difficult at first, attacking dreams are often about our own conflict, if it was easy we wouldn’t feel conflicted!

On another note, attacking dreams can signify a possible health problem.  Review your eating/exercising/sleeping/substance using behaviours.  If you have any cause for concern beyond taking it more easy, getting a bit of fresh air and exercise or eating less processed foods and a few more fruits and vegetables, you should see a doctor. I am not sure who said this originally, but this quote is most appropriate here: “Listen to the whispers before they become shouts.” Your subconscious knows what’s going on with your body, often before your conscious mind does, especially in a world where we are all so busy and stressed. An attacking dream can symbolise your immune system, your body fighting some kind of infection. Or it could be your deeper self struggling with the rigid rules of work and effort our conscious mind places on it.

Dreams about attacking animals will be reviewed a bit more in a future blog about the roles of symbolic animals in dreams, but most of the rest of this post can still apply to an animal attacking dream.

An attacking dream invites us to stop, reflect, and see what needs changing.  Attacking dreams gives us hints as to how we can change our lives to improve, to grow, to develop new behaviours and beliefs that serve us well, that do not cause us internal conflict.  They offer us a chance to relax, and feel confident, safe and empowered.  But only if we listen to, and act upon, the messages in our dreams.

  1. This makes since now why the past two nights i’ve been dreaming about being attacked by wild animals! Like last night i dreamt i was attacked by a Grizzly Bear and the night before it was Africanized Bees! I have a lot of things been going on in my life this past two week or so and it’s just getting to the point where i dream about being attacked *laughs*

    1. ive been having a horrible dream that is about there being a giant rainstorm and out of no where a giant demon dragon goat thingy and it paralyzes children by saying its name dragoat then he takes the paralyzed children to a private place where he bites there heads off and he doesn’t stop until he has eaten 10 children im always the last child and he always chases me around and i always have a diff ending today was the latest time and every time this dream happens my back heats up and starts burning until i get hurt and wake up. im scared for next year. plz help.

      1. Wow…that’s some dream. intriguing. Would make an awesome scary movie! Maybe try and think of the dream at night (maybe even in bed before sleeping) and make up your own script and ending (make yourself the hero of course!). Maybe doing this will take the fun out of your subconscious dreaming of it and your subconscious will give up!

    2. I had a dream were someone broke into my house and tried to attack me with a knife but I fought back and ended up cornering each other. He went to stab me but stopped, what does that mean? I’m utterly confused 😩

  2. It’s really interesting you are dreaming a lot about wild animals – I’ll attemtp to get to my blog on animals soon so hopefully that will help shed a little more light. In the meantime, I used bears as an example of how symbols work on our website, so if you’re interested check out this link, there may be something of relevance there for you to help get you thinking!

  3. I’ve only been reading since the last few posts, but I am enjoying your views more and more. I’ll be back for more and will be sure to subscribe!

  4. I love your site. I hope you are still active on it. I just completed a Master’s degree on Jungian psychology and the Bhagavad Gita’s process of Self-realization. I’ve been analyzing my dreams for at least 30 years, and I find your site extremely appropriate in its knowledge.

    I would like to learn more about the author of the site.

  5. In my dream I keep getting stabbed or slashed in the stomach by a women with a knife. I don’t know who the woman is but I know that the goal of the dream is to kill her. She has other women that do this to other men almost like they are a group of serial killers. I am running away from these people but I feel that the only escape is to kill them. I feel no rage in this dream or any other overwhelming emotions. To me, feeling no overwhelming emotions is normal since I tend not to feel any in my waking life either. All I can say is that the place I am at is evil and so are the women.

  6. I’m not exactly sure who/what was attacking me in my dream because it was a hand who had very VERY sharp nails. It was stabbing me in the right side of my back. It would press harder and harder into my back as the dream went on. I just remember wanting to wake up. My dad used to press his nails into my back but not as hard when i was younger.. not sure if the two things relate? Do you know what this dream means? In this past year I’ve also had dreams about being tortured and not allowed to leave..

  7. I keep having this dream, that very strangly vivid and easy to remember, where i am walking down an very dark alley when i get attacked by a person i cant see, the only reason i know its a person is that i can see they have human hands when they threw a punch. The first punch hit me in the left side of the head and knocked out my left canine, i reacted by throwing a right hook into the dark which didnt hit anything before putting my hands up to protects my head, then i was hit in the stomach, doubling me over, when i stood back up the i was kicked in the hip putting me down on one knee before being kicked in the right side of the head, breaking my right canine and knocking me out. The dream then continued after i woke up, in dream, to me pulling the remaings of my two broken teeth out causing them to bleed.

  8. So for longest time I’ve dreamed that I was on one side of my bed watching myself sleep and PennyWise was on the other doing the same…it’s been going on for a good while…he never does anything except stare at my lying body like he’s mourning, and it’s like to him the me watching isn’t even there… But recently outta know where He turned and pushed me attacked me and yelled “you did this to her”. What does this attack mean?

  9. Its good information and a pleasure to read. I’ve been having conflict dreams the last few nights. The dreams are strange. I was dreaming that I’d be attacked at work. So I got moved to another department, but the frets got stronger. I started to feel afraid and began looking for an escape. I was traped in this situation. I tried to stay away from the source. Then it got out of hand, a man jumped over a wall. I ran and became blocked in a cornor. This man was going to smash a varse on my head, but he attacked over people first. Strange, but I can remember so much.

  10. This is really useful and it helps me a lot however i have dreams where i am struggling and fighting my attacker and then get stabbed in the stomach multiple times. This also happens alot when im day dreaming aswell, does this mean anything?

  11. Hi there. I am 18, and I really need help to decipher this one; I keep having these recuring dreams where a cat-like creature is incredibly prominent. In some dreams this creature is attacking, and in other’s it simply makes it’s presence very apparent. Last night I was in a room where I was sleeping (this all in a dream, of course). A brown wooden door, farm-style (top and bottom split) kept openning (only the top half though). I kept leaning out to close the door but every time I did so I would feel something unlatching and tugging at the other end. The door would then pop back open and this figure would pop out and look at me, then disapear (but would still be around, not far from the door). I was able to decipher that the figure was cat-like due to the sounds it made and its general silhouette. I also had a dog with me that was wining in fear. I would then try and shout at the animal but no sound came out of my mouth. I would then try and bang something to create noise but I had no control over my body. All i could do was grunt, and even that was a dampened sound… Eventually I woke up from the shaking in my sleep. Anyway, ‘why can I not chase this animal-thing away’ – seems to be the most prominent question… also I understand the components of loss-of-control that are apparent in this dream, however I just don’t know how this all ties together? Any suggestions or input will be great appreciated. Much thanks in advance.

  12. Thank you so much for the interpretation of this dream. It seems to be dead on. I’m going to try the coping technique that was give to relieve my subconscious.

  13. I had I dream of a ghost attacking me with its powers and it was extreme pain I felt the pain and at the end of dream turns out there was two ghosts so the one who wasn’t attacking me I killed it by throwing a sword through its chest then the other one who attacked me I first cut her neck then I stabbed her heart with a knife and she dyed

    1. Also I’m in a abandoned house and it is day time and for some reason it’s on the same road my dad lives on and both of the ghosts look like humans and I couldn’t see them till the end when I killed them I went to the house with a youtuber I watch for some reason and we went there to kill them and the one ghost who was attacking me I could actually feel the pain usually if I have a dream and something attacks me I can’t feel it

  14. I had an odd dream about this little ghost girl who kept fallowing me everywhere i go with an ax, but something very unexpected happened, and she attached my ass with the ax and i threw a knife at her. Later, I killed her with her own ax. (Throwing her ax from a distance, while shes on the ground, and cut her head off.) Btw, it took place by a church. Help?

  15. His helped a lot. I didn’t know my subcontious could be telling me all of this. I didn’t know that I might have fears of certain things.I learned something new today

  16. I have this dream quite often but never in row. The dream is I get Chased by wild animals, sometimes more than one, I keep running hard and I am successful in misdirecting them but because of some mistake they come back to me and dream breaks. Also everytime my little sister is with me and I’m protecting her. Place is zoo mostly but sometimes it’s city. I’m having this dream since I was nearly 7-8 years old now I’m 20. The animals are tiger, lion, horses, etc. What does this means I’m really worried. And yes I feel insecure for many things but I don’t know how to overcome from that. Please help.

  17. I’m 5 months pregnant, Every night I wake up around 3:30-4AM sometimes I wake up out of a vivid dream but tonights dream had me completely petrified. I dreamt I was being followed by a guy (who I’ve seen before, he was a customer at my job about a year ago + was always so sweet, never caused any trouble completely no reason to be attacking me) so my uncle was driving, and the guy drives by in the opposite lane, I saw this guy like 4 other times throughout the day so I let my uncle know hey I think this guy is following me, and we wait for him to turn around + when he does that’s when it got intense, he started chasing us and pulled up on the side of the car and pulled a gun and pointed right at me, towards my hand (which is weird, idk what that means)! So I jumped from the car and rolled onto some grass + he continued shooting at me but missed all the shots. My uncle helped me out from the grass & the guy yelled something and drove off. When I got back in the car he had thrown the gun on the passenger side floor which I thought was weird. I then woke up. I’m not sure what this dream means but it put me in a panic.

  18. I had a dream that I was hanging out with a group of friends, when my friend’s sister (who I don’t know very well) started to run with a knife towards me after I yelled that she had stabbed someone. Everyone told me to run, and I did. I didn’t get stabbed though. One of my friends had a giant globe, and put her inside of it, then lit her on fire.

  19. I dream of killing black horses with two horns i cut their heads off with a sword thàt appears on my hand. I don’t know what that means ?

  20. My dream was strange. I was attacked by different animals.They running around in my bedroom. But funny enough. My was not worried or scared. She was also in the room.

  21. My recurring dream is about a fairy that has four ears and is completely blind she is wearing a black ball gown and tries to speak to me ,my friends and family keep her away from me but I seem to be afraid of my friends and family and not afraid of the fairy creature the creature turns her head toward my boyfriend Jon and frowns . Then I wake up and when I try to go back to sleep I can’t it’s so bizarre then I have the same dream night after night and it doesn’t stop I’m so scared

  22. My dreams of being attaked, other people around me seem to be able to by pass the threat. In some cases my husband is in it and be can speak to the animals as tho they are human. He seems to connect. But for me its painful and I ask him to help me he normally does. But I’m other dreams he says I have nothing to worry about.

  23. I dreamed that I was set up by a long lost friend, while I was on vacation. She went with me and my four year old daughter into my room and a knock came at the door. Immediately 3 masked men came in and began cutting my legs stomach and arms with a knife. The girl trried to cut my daughter behind her legs but I took her knife and began battle with her and the 3 men. By the time it was over, my daughter had 2 cuts behind her neck and I was cut all over my body. I was trying to get out while the police came and said they couldn’t help. Not even my sisters, friends or family would help. They were concerned about other things. Please tell me what this dream means.

  24. I had a dream where I was with a family of people who I don’t recognize, but in my dream I knew very well and cared about, and it started out in an old house, there was an older woman (maybe 30s or 40s) like an older sister figure, I think she was the mother two the two kids, two girls one was probably 2 and the other 3, I cant remember if there were two kids or just one because some parts there were two but other times there was only one and nobody was panicking about someone being missing.. And there was me and I believe another teenager.. A boy ? And there was an older man trying to attack us, he was very determined he was going to kill us all, he had no weapon s but we were all very scared of him like he was very capable. And in the dream we all seemed like this was the second time this has happened and he was just back for us. He threw things and chased us and we ran and I took the girl and we ran down the street to this local outdoor swimming pool, it was a massive rectangle pool and it was full up of people, and there was a big parking lot beside it with some trees in between the parking lot and the pool, we got into the pool and the man drove into the empty parking lot in a car and slowed down to look for us ( nobody in the public seemed alarmed that we were being chased and trying to be attacked, and the man was only after us and nobody else, so we got out of the pool and we ran into the grass up a dirt hill with lots of trees and went to the top were the boy was and climbed to the tops of the trees and stayed there for hours just hugging the tree tops. He didn’t come there after us. Hours later we realized the treetops (which were not high off the ground) were having over a Walmart parking lot, and there was all this carnival equipment being set up and carnis all around and lots of people all doing their own thing, and so we got down on the other side and we saw him in the distance across the street but he didn’t see us. I can’t remember the end but I remember on thing about the other little girl drowning in the pool and going back into the house again not sure how I got there…

  25. I had a dream a couple of days ago where my boyfriend showed up at my home in a tirade and beat me up really bad. All of the blows were to my head. It was later revealed in a dream that his rage stemmed from a lie that another female he had been involved with told him. Basically she told him that I did something that was not true.

  26. I had a dream the other night that I was driving up a narrow road on a hill. I pulled over to give way to another car coming down the hill. Next myself and the man (in the car I gave way too) were standing on the road, it was night time. He shot me in the chest and I fell to the ground and didn’t get up. I remember wondering if I had died or not? The man then poured over me what looked like beer (but i’m assuming was fuel) and tried to light my lips on fire. Then I woke up…

    Very strange and I rarely have vivid dreams like this! I didn’t fell scared while I was having the dream but I woke up a wee bit shaken.

    Curious to know if there is any meaning to this….

  27. I have just woken from a dream that felt so real. All the emotions, anxiety scared and the feeling of being let down by a friend at the end. It started with me finding out my ex had a new girlfriend, I happened to bump into her so I told her exactly what he is like and the truth of how I had been treated. I then left her home to be threatened by this big bloke who tried to give me a £500 note to sleep with him, he tried to grab me and force him self on me and then as I got away he had a big baseball bat and hit me on the head really hard with it. I managed to get the bat from him and attacked him. I could see his head changing shape as I hit him so many times. I then ran onto the street where I flagged a taxi down, I didn’t have any money and had to be taken a good few miles to get home. Because a friend of mine lived on the way I phoned him to see if he could meet me and give me some money so I could get home and he made excuses so I had to think of what I had at home to give the taxi driver and decided that I would give him a gold watch that I had for my 21st birthday.. also when i was in the taxi my little boy turned up next to me and was sleeping at my side. I feel quite unsettled now and I am not sure if I am going to be able to get back to sleep 🙁 would love to know what you think of this xx

  28. My dream was quite confusing, so I’m not sure how to interpret it.. I was inside my church which actually didn’t look like my church. But I felt or knew it was because I saw the pastor’s wife and family like I always do. I was sitting alone near some teenagers when suddenly a boy physically attacked the young girl during next to me from his seat in the row behind us. She screamed and shouted, threw several punches back at him in defense. But for some reason, she was kicked out of the church after two adults broke up the fight. Even more strange, service continued on as if nothing had happened. Next thing I know, the teen boy moved in to that girl’s seat next to me and within minutes he began pounding punches on my head! I screamed and rather than hit him back, I cowered under my arms screaming for him to stop. But he kept going and no one was doing anything to stop it. I must have been so scared that I just woke up, so there was no real conclusion to what happened.

  29. I dreamt of being running away from two kids, a boy and a girl. They were trying to kill me. I saw that the boy ran towards me with a Big Sledgehammer but the girl didn’t. He tried to hit me with it but instead I took the Sledgehammer from him and hit him four times. Then as I was about to run away, I woke up. What does it means?

  30. I dream of a gang of people around me and someone slices my face I feel the blood but then it heals I finally get away

  31. For the past few months, i’ve been attacked in my dreams. The place where i’m being attack always changes and what i’m being attaced with are everyday objects. Last night, i was attacked in an empty gym and I was being attacked with an eyelash curler. The guy who is attacks me is the same guy but I don’t know who he is.

  32. I WAS ATTACKED MY MY OWN FATHER, USING A KNIFE TO STAB ME IN VARIOUS SPOTS, AND SHARP CLAWS TO CLAW OUT MY ORGANS VIA MY BACK?????? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?????????

  33. I and my brother have never had a hand to hand but somehow I had a fight with him in my dream and I woke up with a welt on my hand that I got from hitting my dresser as I woke up from my dream. What does this mean?

  34. In my dream I remember standing in my lounge talking to my partner when someone bursts through the front door to the back tries to open it he is chases by a man with black cloth wrapped around all around him I am now in the hallway I open the door the first man escapes I shut the door to help the man escape the man in black cloth turns his attention to me he straddles me pinning me to the ground before going to hit me with a lead pipe also covered in black cloth I scream wonder why my partner doesn’t help me and how much will this hurt and prepare to get hit by the pipe

  35. I see you don’t monetize your page, i think there is one opportunity to earn additional money on your blog,

  37. Ive been having a dream about a friend who was stabbed in the throat and she was stabbed by her ear but there where staples in that cut. And ive had the same dream twice not sure what this meaning could be and not sure how to find out. If u can help me understanf i would forever be greatful.

  38. Please help me understand my dream. I was sitting outside with my family when suddenly a small but violent tornado pops around the corner of the house, I yelled for my family to run inside but they remained calm. The tornado was actually an evil man who was attacking anyone in his path but with his bare hands. I grabbed my grandson and kept running to different hiding places in the house, I am then running around the house to lock all the doors, my father was at the back door attempting to let the man in. I am begging him not to but he insisted, as he opens the door i wake up with my heart pounding in fear. Everyone but myself was blind to his evilness.

  39. I was tortured in my dream my legs smashed then cut off then I was locked in an old fridge. Then all of a sudden my legs were reattached and I was walking my daughter to the bus stop but she was little and she was telling me that her older self wasn’t going to school today because of a vehicle she had to go get.

  40. I,just dreamed last night that a mean horse attacked my sister and almost ripped the one side of her face off? In my dream I hurried and took my shirt off in front of people to help her and ice to help with the swelling then escorted her down a hall? Looking back at the horse and how mean he was and wondering why he did this? I keep on looking online to find out s significance of my dream and I can’t? I dream often and some are really nice dreams and some not so nice. I believe they try to tell me something but just can’t figure them out?

  41. I realized someone peeping on me when I was in the washroom. Suddenly the person found that I have seen him he started getting into the washroom from the small window trying hard to pass through it to get inside. By seeing him coming inside i was so afraid that I took a sharp wooden stick and started attacking him by poking the stick onto him sometimes on the face and eyes, and that person too became aggressive on me, he also had a wooden stick and was counter attacking me. The only thing is he was not able to touch me because he was struck on the vent and that he was only able to tackle my stick but I every attempt of mine was painful to him. I was screaming without using words and no one was listening to it in my home and since i was in subconscious mode, i was able to listen to my voice in reality as i was screaming for real while sleeping. I woke up suddenly after listening to my own voice and then my dream ended. What could it be for me?

  42. . .i just woke up 2:30am because i was dreaming that i was being chased and attacked of a person with a knife, theres so much happening, he even followed me to our house, im so scared running until i woke up, but when i go back to sleep my dream continue and theres a group of people now chasing and attacking me, i was running and asking someone for a help but he is also scared, .that i have no choice but to fight them, i beat 1 guy, the other guy was really angry walking towards me, i grab the wood from the fence, im so scared that i made myself to wake up, .thats why im here searching for the meaning, but im not sure what my subconcious telling me?

  43. I dreamt that I was laying in bed and someone was in my room and he was by my bed and I was calling out to my mother becuase that felt weird like who was he? How did he get in there? And then he turned around and he tried grabbing me but I did nothing and then he started do other things that I can’t quite remember but I was calling out to my mom and he got upset at that, so I hit him with something and I bolted out of my room, he chased me down the flight of stairs then I made it outside to the front of the hotel and when I got to the desk I told them about everything but then I felt a gun or knife on the side of me and without a word I knew it was him and then I woke up. I can’t think of anything that I am insecure or I need to move on about since its 5:02 in the morning and I woke up gasping air but I keep reading about how the attacker represents something, where it happens represents something and being chased represents something. I don’t know what to think

  44. What about watching people you love (such as husband and kids) being attacked? What does this symbolize?

  45. You really helped my girlfriend with a nightmare that she has been having and I want to thank you for that.

  46. I am continuously dreaming ( 3 times in a month) about this old short lady who is planning to kill me. she always pop up as am going to my parents house and attacks me as am trying to get inside. i always try to shout and ask for help but i never manage to find someone (family or neighbours) who hears me. in my last dream the lady herself knocked on my parents’ house and she had an injection with a bent neadle. i do not know the lady

  47. I’m a little concerned. I’ve been having dreams of being attacked by this really strong, tall, muscular man because I accidently injured his eye with my sodalite necklace (but when I see the sodalite necklace it’s in a different shape than the one I actually have). He ends up landing on my stomach when he attacks and I get a fever and go to the hospital and told that I’ll never be able to have kids. I wake up soon after that. Any ideas?

  48. I deamt that…
    It was almost early in the morning 5-6, and i am going to a house where there is gym and.. That house is in a jungle…. It was like.. A luxury house in jungle….. And suddenly a man comes out behind me… And watching on his phone at my pic… And trying to confirm…and then he was about to proceed with a dagor. But suddenly then.. An another.. Jumps on him and.. Trying to stop him… But fails… And.. The killer is standing now.. And coming back… Just in a few seconds he gets to see his one of his close frnds… In front of him.. And busy in talking… And.. M in the house..and then i was awake..

  49. my dream is kinda complicated, I was walking in the park next to my house with my best friend in the whole world, Then out of nowhere a grown man ran towards us, he kidnapped my best friend and beat me up, I tried my best to protect me and my friend, and she tried to defend herself too, but eventually he succeeded and I had to run home, I was home alone when I saw a black panther in the hallway, for some reason I connected the man in the park to the panther, it growled and attacked me, specifically it got a swipe on my leg. I ran into the bathroom with my phone and dialled 911, Theres a window in my bathroom and when I looked out of it the man was looking the other direction, but was really close to my house, When I called 911 I woke up, and the dream had scared me so bad I called the friend I was with at 6 AM…..

    Any idea’s what this means?

  50. I had a dream and i am 14 years old. I love to travel on the subway because it is fast. I had a dream some crazy guy blew weed into my face. I slowly walked away. Then he got mad so he punched me about 3 times. After that I kicked him in the balls (because it hurts there). Then the train started to approach. I pushed him against the train and he fell and didn’t wake up until a few hours.

    Please tell me what this means. Is it safe to ride the train again? Should I take the bus?

  51. I had a dream that my mom was attacking me 🙁 she disfigured my face and cut my throat in lots of places. then i tried to get out and ended up in some kind of basement with a wolf and some other animal i can’t remember. But just when i thought i was safe both animals attacked me until i woke up. wtf just happened to me. this dream has made me really sad.

  52. I dreamed I was being attacked by this evil nonhuman mirror image of myself. Was so terrifying!!!

  53. This kinda helped me, thanks!
    But my is a little weird…In my dream, I was being attacked;
    But I did not stop my attacker…I let them hurt me. They used a metal rod that was in fire. I let them burn my right shoulder, I closed my eyes thinking it would hurt, But after a few seconds, I open my eyes because in my dream it didn’t hurt? I did not feel the pain like I thought I would in my dream. I knew my attacker too in my dream, it was someone in my life that I very much dislike. In my dream I was surprised in that dream as well that it didn’t hurt…Then after that I woke up. Can someone help further more interpret this dream better? I tried googling some of the stuff in it..but I’m not getting much results. Can someone help?

  54. I don’t see anything peaceful about a person as large as a 3 story house trying to kill me specifically even if I’m around other people in my dream, has been happening 7 time this month.

  55. I dreamt I could feel threat towards my partner and someone came at her to stab her with a screwdriver as they plunged forward I stabbed them with a knife in the dream but my phyical body liturally punched her in a stabbing motion right under the beast basically tummy and she and I woke up frightend I appoligise and explained what happened does anyone know it felt as if it was a warning

  56. I have had a dream a night ago that i was in an abandoned city and a black entity with no recognizable features( no eyes no eye sockets no nose no head no body etc it was like a blob of my hight) suddenly materialized in front of me and stabbed me in the chest(middle of lungs) with a pitchfork and then i woke up and walked around my apartment for a bit and went back to bed and when i fell asleep i was in a forest when the same thing happened again.If someone has any info on what that could mean i would really appreciate it and thank you in advance.

  57. Fantastic analogy. I dreamt I was being slow motion attacked and could only slow motion try and fail and unable to call out to my husband. When I went back to sleep I dreamt we were in bed and I was stopping a man, then a lady trying to attack my husband with large spears but I couldn’t wake him up he just lay there asleep. When he woke me up from my dream I yelled at him for not waking up!! Your analogy has helped me realise a few things that were in front of me, thank you very much.

  58. Lately I’ve been dreaming that I’ve needed to defeat something. Usually not in the sense that I need to have a physical fight with them, but more in the sense that I need to do something to get rid of them (last night I was dreaming that I had a connection with Satan in the form of a dragon and the more pain I was in the more pain he was, I ended up needing to sacrifice myself by allowing myself to be tortured to death to kill the dragon demon) and I’m sort of confused about it. Usually it’s something like a ritual that involves me, like I’m the key to defeating the villain in the dream. I feel like this has a lot deeper meaning because it’s somewhat reoccurring and in every dream I must do something to myself to save others. Any thoughts?

  59. Well, I had a dream last night of my own father chasing me with a gun, and was attempting to kill me. I was crying and tired when I woke up. The reason I think is because I feel unacceptable. I myself are non-binary, or I have no gender and my father thinks that there is only one gender and my mother thinks the same, so why didn’t I have a dream about my mother?

  60. Very interesting analysis! Thank you for sharing.
    I’ve had a dream of a friend I am very close to who comes to my house unexpectedly. He seems to be in pain but hides it. I don’t ask him much, he doesn’t seem to want to explain what happened to him. Then he is really in pain and eventually shows severe bruises on his chest (left side) , upper abdomen / sternum and the back (left side too). He is visibly in distress and can’t really say what happened, as if he wanted to but cannot allow himself to. I calm him and he then falls asleep. Later in the dream he mumbles and hugs me in his sleep, really tight, saying my name and telling me not to go away, not to leave him. I say his name and try to calm him, he then goes on sleeping… and I wake up wondering what the heck all that meant. Ops!
    We are very close friends and are going through some inner changes. We both are getting rid of old behaviours and situations in our lives that are making us uncomfortable. Could it be that I’m projecting my desires and fears onto him in the dream, but the dream actually refers to me? I’m not sure who is who in the dream, as some bits of your analysis could apply to both of us. I think we both need to let go of some issues we had in our lives (not related to one another) and free ourselves from the people who have been holding us down, those who broke our hearts.

  61. I had a dream that I was making noise and this guy was trying to sleep and he came up to me about to hit me and everything and I crouched down in fear and I said I’m sorry please don’t hit I’m sorry I woke you please don’t hurt me and before he walked off he unplugged the game system I was playing on and brought it into the room with him but was crying and saying don’t make any noise he will come to hurt us what does this mean

  62. I’ve been having dreams about being hit over the head by some bloody person,
    And been having a dream about a saw that Keeps killing this little girl,
    Being chased by a killer with a shot gun or knife, But last night was different I woke up screaming and had a sore throat, last night was when I had a dream a dream about being hit over the head by items, Please, what does this mean?!

  63. I was trick or treating with a friend and there was this creepy “girl” following us but she was dressed up as an old man and her voice was almost identical to that of a 40 year old man… she took off her mask only to show her mouth which was old and and I said “that’s not a little girl that’s just an old man in a wig” and whatever it was got mad and started chasing me and it bit me and took a big chunk out of my shoulder.
    Thoughts?

  68. Hello, you may not be on this site anymore but I’ve had a strange dream where I helped 2 birds. One was brown the other a crow. I helped them both escape outside and the brown one flew in a tree. The crow did not want to be released and ended up stabbing me on the right side of my neck with its beak. I told a friend what it had done after I tried to help it and she didn’t believe it would do a thing like that. Anyway it’s been on my mind a lot and wondered if you may have any insight.

  69. I dreamed about my boyfriend’s wife attacking me last night,it looked like a pool when she was attacking me.and everyone who was present was supporting her and everyone against me.What does this dream mean?My boyfriend is willing to take me as a second wife in the future.

  70. 5/7/18.
    I had a dream …i was at work and the power went out. I opened my office door to go out and was physically attacked . My wife woke me up I had her in a choke hold with my hand and was growling…and was covered by a cold chill

  71. I had a dream that my husband & I were driving at night and every time I went to use the Navigation System my eyes would go blurry and I wasn’t able to focus or see the road. I would pull over and regain my focus. After a couple of times of this happening, we stopped at a rest area. I went into a stall and sat down and immediately heard someone bang on the door so hard that it opened. When the door opened there was someone dressed in a jousting outfit and their face was covered with the black mask and I woke up just as the person was getting ready to beat me up.

  74. Laying in a bed, not our bed and not really a bed more of a mattress inside a house I don’t recognize actually not even a house more like a crack den dirty disgusting deteriorating , at first im all alone in this room with a bathroom attached. I wake up to someone (a voice I don’t recognize) saying shes awake I wake up and to see a window screened over to where all I can see is a silhouette of someone walking past holding a child, our child I can tell because I could recognize her silhouette anywhere. After I finally realize shes gone and I don’t know where I begin to scream but a muffled scream as if I cant get it out at all like my mouth cant open. Then there is my ex husband who used to hit me and caused a miscarriage where was my final straw and forced me to separate from him (obviously ending in divorce) he looks dirty and angry all im trying to do is find a way out of this room away from him he keeps grabbing me and pulling me away from getting to her I make it into the bathroom and the floor is covered with this thick sewage liquid in the floor, in the sink, in the shower. Theres no way out and he wont give for a moment it all goes blank it all comes back with a flash of shattered glass everywhere, then blood everywhere too focused to find out from where but its not from him. I make it out of the bathroom to find him standing with my phone making calls to I don’t even know who and I cant make out what hes saying as if hes underwater, a lost struggle where all I can see is red I push through what has to be a door to find a whole different group of people some I know and some I don’t the one I know are different not how they should be theres one with a bullet hole directly through his forehead smiling like he used to that same craze smile he had that thanksgiving when he went crazy when he became a new person when the cops had no choice, there was someone else that I couldn’t believe I could recognize but his face was made of snakes but through the snakes I knew exactly who he was (it was our old roomate jeremy) then his brother who was normal all but his face was made of black and white static like an old tv screen. They begin to laugh as I try and push through with blood still flowing everywhere and all I hear is her crying and their laughing I still cant see her slipping and sliding in blood that has to be mine while my ears are ringing with the most maniacal laughter muffling the sounds of her cries, then it all goes black I have a sense that im waking up but I cant I see faint vision of our room but it fades away to the darkest black ive ever seen, as I feel myself sleeping laying paralyzed as I try and struggle to get up struggle to see then all of a sudden I cant and im back again on this dirty mattress face down I regain some strength to clear my vision and there he is again with all his weight on top of me. At that exact moment there is nothing I can do and all I feel is this rush of pain the most pain I have ever experienced until I see the silhouette int he window again and that ugly voice saying shes awake as she disapears from the window and appears again with what I know is her again and in just a second shes gone as the pain remains I throw his off of me and without control im back in the most disgusting bathroom ive ever seen but the waters different this time is darker theres clots of blood floating in the sin, in the toile, in the shower, all over the floor without strenght I feel myself crawling in it trying to find someway to make him disapear but as I grow weaker he grows stronger. With what feels likes forever pushing pulling scratching fighting to get to the next room until theres a moment where it just disapears and theres the next room with all the same faces but so much much movement behind the maniacal distorted faces, theres crowds of people and the sound of a busy subway station and the faces I know are still just smiling distorted faces bloody forehead, snakes, and static. Smiles from ear to ear and so still. With the feeling of defeat, confusion but determination to find her with a rush of strength through the pain I push through. With a flash im outside in a place ive never seen theres a rush of calm but only temporary until the happy faces become angry distorted as they begin to rush toward me theres that familiar pain when my vision blurs tranforms into a rush of static and red I gain a sense that im still sleeping and the familiar struggle of wake up just wake up shes at home but you need to wake I finally feel as if it worked im waking up and theres a loud noise and with a flash im back where I started, the familiar fight but its more aggressive the pain is so much stronger as if my body is inside of a trash compacter the feeling of hopelessness as if ill be in this disgusting filthy moldy crack den everything repeats 10 times more intense then the first two times through the pain there s arush of warm from my eyes accompanied by my muffled screams, and that window that damn window to rub it in my face that I cant have her that ill never get to her, as if there is nothing I can do. Knowing I cant give up I struggle to get there room one then room two all the same and with that same feeling of releife the pain disapates as I find myself outside alone, its dead quiet and for the first time I cant hear her everyones gone everythings gone I feel my body collapse onto the grass. I know whats coming its starting again. I cant go through that again and its with the all my strength will all my determination I know I need to wake up, I cant feel that pain again as I begin to crawl to nothing in an attempt to avoid where I keep going back and then pain begins again the outside fades to the ugliest color ive ever seen ive never seen it before but as it begins to rush over me again I know I have to fight it off and with one strong push. Im finally awake but for moments after I cant shake the feeling.Laying in a bed, not our bed and not really a bed more of a mattress inside a house I don’t recognize actually not even a house more like a crack den dirty disgusting deteriorating , at first im all alone in this room with a bathroom attached.

  75. I saw two very horrifying dream at 1 day interval,in my 1st dream, i saw two women came at my door,they looked angry ,both stabbed with knife to my father and me……
    In 2nd dream, i feel some unrecognized walking sounds in my home ,and feel some one is lying beside me on bed at my husband’s place…and after asking in dream,listen some feeble voice…..which freaks me badly…..i just opened my eyes…….sir, both of dreams disturbed me till 3-4 days…..please interpret something which can help me…..

  76. I had a dream that I was being picked up from school by my mom. We stopped at a gas station and i got out to pump while she payed. A protest was going on for something along the sidewalk, and one of the girls came up to me. She didn’t talk to me but grabbed a wooden slab or something from me (skateboard or project or something). I told her to give it back, and she complied after i got a little louder. She then said “that’s transphobic.” I had no idea she was “astralgender” or whatever. I told her i wasn’t transphobic, that i myself am trans. She said I was transphobic and called me a “fucking indian”(I’m native American). Then we got in a fistfight and I woke up.

  77. Hi. I am writing about this dream while in isolation for COVID. I am Canadian. I taught in the USA for several years, and I fell in love with Americans. A child, now adult, was with me at the time. We both grew to love Americans and had a wonderful three years there. Last night I dreamt I was being attacked by Americans. I was on the ground being beaten. I was feeling betrayed. Then they left, and I noticed my adult child was there as well and had been beaten… on the face… like me. I felt no pain. I live on a river, and there was a major storm yesterday. I had worried about flooding through the dark night. As, I am concerned about COVID as my child’s fiance is a front line doctor in a hospital.
