Attacking Dream Meaning

sleeping boy

If you dream that you’re attacking someone (physically, emotionally, or mentally), consider your feelings during the dream: If you’re attacking because you’re angry at the person, you may be angry at them or something associated with them in real life.

If you’re attacking to defend yourself, you may feel threatened in real life by that person’s criticism, hostility, ambition, etc.
