If the dream involves the dreamer doing the hitting, it represents anger and frustration on the part of the dreamer. If the dreamer is being hit, it represents opposition or a threat from some other source. Details of the dream may provide clues as to the source of the threat.

Answer 3

Dreams use symbols and metaphors to express the dreamer's emotions. Violent dreams usually represent the need to relieve stress, frustration or anger. By fighting violently against opposition in dreams, tension can be vented in the safety of sleep, allowing the dreamer to function more normally when awake. Without this expression of stress through dreams, one can become physically and emotionally ill.

Answer 4

Violent dreams can have a variety of meanings. Often they express anger or rage that the dreamer is unable or unwilling to express in real life. As such, the dreams provide a vital form of stress release. Alternatively, a violent dream might express the dreamer's fear of being abused or mistreated, literally or figuratively.
