Uncover what it’s like to dream of violence and prevent yourself!

Dreaming about violence can be disturbing and disrupt your night’s rest. But know that the dream can be a warning sign and an opportunity for you to change things that are not going well in your life.

More than despairing about the meaning of this dream, it is important to understand the situation that is causing the discomfort and manifesting itself in the dream format. That way, you’ll be able to take action and change that aspect of your life that you’re not comfortable with.

Understand the different possibilities of what it means to dream about violence and see how you can resolve this conflict to have a more peaceful and harmonious life.

What does it mean to dream about violence

The dream can have different meanings, according to who is the victim of violence or the aggressor. See the meaning of each of the messages that your subconscious wants to give you:

To dream that you commit violence

If you dream that you are committing violence against someone, then you clearly have some internal conflict that needs to be faced and resolved. Dreams manifest desires that are often unconfessed — for this very reason, the unconscious waits for sleep, a moment of rest for the conscious, to manifest them.

But the desire is not necessarily expressed automatically. So, if you dream that you are beating someone, it may be that you do not have the desire to directly attack that person, but what he represents.

For example, if you dream that you are committing violence against your boss, you do not necessarily dislike the person or would like to hurt him. It could happen that your unconscious is manifesting the desire to rebel against your stressful job, for example.

dream of suffering violence

When, in the dream, you are the victim of violence, the message your unconscious is sending is that you are feeling vulnerable or helpless. To dream of being attacked shows your social fears in general, or it could be related to a specific fear.

For example, if you dream that you are being assaulted by your husband or boyfriend, this may not make much sense initially, if he is a peaceful person with no violent tendencies. But the dream can start to make more sense if you are feeling insecure in the relationship and afraid that your partner will break up with you.

Dreaming of witnessing violence

Sometimes you are neither the victim nor the aggressor, but a witness to a violent act. This dream could be related to your desire to help someone, or to a situation that you are noticing that a friend or a close person is going through.

In these cases, it is worth trying to understand what the problem is that the person in your dream is living through in order to try to help them in the best way possible.

We already published a post here about dreaming about a fight. Read and understand the meanings:

dream of physical violence

It is usually very stressful to dream about any manifestation of physical violence. The person who dreamed wakes up with a start and often cannot sleep again. But not always dreaming of physical violence means that something bad will happen.

On the contrary, it may be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for to see something that doesn’t go well and change it. In the same way as dreaming of a heated argument or a verbal fight, dreaming of physical violence indicates the presence of a conflict situation in your life, be it an internal conflict or doubts about relationships that you need to take.

Dreaming of physical violence between a couple is different from dreaming of a fight between family members, for example. While in the first case, the indication is for you to protect yourself when you have to deal with other people’s problems, in the second case, the dream can be a message for you to protect yourself against envious looks or people who don’t want your good.

Dream of violence and blood

This can be one of the most distressing dreams of all, but don’t worry. In all cases, you can change the situation that is plaguing your life and causing you despair.

If you dream of violence and blood – a fight in which someone gets very hurt, for example – it can have different meanings. When, in the dream, you watch someone suffering violence and bleeding, it can be a warning to be careful with your decisions, or with some aspect of life that can generate conflict.

But if in the dream you help someone who has suffered violence and is bleeding, it is a very positive dream. It can mean that you are about to have accomplishments, achievements, achieve positive things.

Dream about violence and gunshots

Dreams involving gunshots indicate a situation of vulnerability. If you dream of violence and gunshots, your unconscious may be warning you to protect yourself more and protect yourself from situations of great exposure.

Keep your plans to yourself, share your ideas only with selected and trusted people, avoid telling things about your personal life to people you don’t have much intimacy with.

Despite being stressful, dreaming of violence is always a warning and an opportunity to protect yourself and improve some aspect of your life.
