1. You\u2019ve got a lot of anger bottled up inside you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nSeems obvious, doesn\u2019t it? If your dream is really violent, but you\u2019re a generally amiable person, this might not make sense on the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, since you always get on well with others, no matter the situation, then it\u2019s not unreasonable to have violent dreams, so you can work out all the rage you\u2019ve got inside you, that you never let yourself express in real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your subconscious mind is working to help you process your feelings. Don\u2019t be afraid to be angry. Just be sure to channel it constructively, and only speak or take action after about ten deep breaths. Finding ways to vent that are safe, is a good way to quell those violent dreams.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. You\u2019re feeling really helpless in some aspect of your life<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIt could be in work, or with family. No matter what it is, the feeling of helplessness makes you wish you could exert some sort of power and control. It makes you wish you could just take the bull by the horns and get it to do exactly what you want it to – but you feel like you can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So you have violent dreams<\/strong> – especially the kind where you\u2019re the one inflicting pain and suffering on everyone else. This kind of dream is cathartic. It\u2019s a coping mechanism for whatever it is you\u2019re going through. Also, your subconscious is preparing you to actually take action, so you can end the feelings of helplessness.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n3. You\u2019re afraid of someone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf in your dream, the violence is being committed against you by someone, it could be that you\u2019re afraid of this person in real life. You\u2019re afraid of the way they attack you physically, or psychologically, and this fear carries over into your dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The way to fix this is either to address this bully head on, or in a situation which calls for it, call on law enforcement, or find a way to remove them from your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the very least, try to have no more interaction with them than is required, while you work on rebuilding your damaged self-image.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. You\u2019re dealing with repressed memories of child abuse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s an ugly issue that needs to be confronted. Growing up, there\u2019s not much you can do to defend yourself from the predators around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you were an unfortunate victim of child abuse, chances are as you grew older, you did your best to blot out that experience from your mind. However, it\u2019s always there, lurking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your violent dreams could be a way of allowing yourself to deal with all the trauma you went through in the past. It helps you release all the rage, and feelings of utter helplessness. It could also be that you\u2019re not quite over what happened, and in that case, you should<\/em><\/strong> seek professional help.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n5. You simply watched something really violent<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe thoughts we have before we sleep have a way of showing up in our dreams. So if you were up playing a really violent video game, watching a violent show or movie, or reading a book about blood and gore and war, don\u2019t be so surprised if your dreams give you more of the same!
