Have you had a particularly violent dream that left you shaken and breathless when you awoke?
Don’t worry; this dream is a rather common one. It doesn’t mean you’re about to get into a literal fist fight with someone, of course.
Actually, in some cases, this spiritual message could be a good one.
Let’s take a closer look and unlock your violent dream meaning, shall we?
What Does It Mean When You Have Violent Dreams?
Violence can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people, and it can be meant in a lot of different contexts, too.
You can get violent with another person, yourself, or even an item or object. Most people believe there are different levels of violence, too.
In the sense of a violent dream, however, violence is whatever the word means to YOU.
Your dreams are created in your mind, so they are going to be a reflection of how you think and feel.
What Are Violent Dreams a Sign Of? – 4 Signs
The kind of violence you see, and who the violence is aimed at, will play a big part in the message of your dream.
Watching a violent act take place means something quite different to having a violent act directed at you.
You’ve Committed a Bad Act (Is That Guilt?)
- Are you watching someone else get hurt in your dream?
- Are you the aggressive one, being violent to that other person and potentially even going as far as killing them?
This is said to be a sign that you have done something that you’re not particularly proud of.
Is that your guilt peeking through?
Do you have a constant fear of getting caught?
You can try and bury it down as much as you like; if that guilt wants to poke through, it will.
It already is, in your dreams.
A Taste of Karma?
This is actually related to the guilt of committing a bad act.
If you dream of being violent towards someone else in your dream, there’s a chance that you’re going to get bitten by a taste of your own medicine.
Have you done someone wrong? Think back over the entirety of your life. Karma doesn’t wear a watch, after all.
The old saying, “what goes around, comes around,” is true whether you choose to believe it or not. If you do bad and out bad out into the world, it’s going to come right back and hit you at some point.
It might be in five minutes’ time, or five months’ time, or even five decades’ time.
Eventually, one day, karma will catch up to you.
Maybe it’s time to do some good?
A Sense of Injustice
Whether you’re the one being violent or not, a dream filled with violence can be interpreted as strong feelings of injustice and being wronged.
Is your mind exacting the revenge you wish you could get in real life?
Maybe you don’t even realize you’ve been wronged or served an injustice, and you’re just starting to put the pieces together.
Either way, something inside you is feeling something, and it is feeling that something STRONG.
It’s time to work out what is making your subconscious so angry and aggressive.
Make note of all the things you see in the dream, then make note of their meanings. Which ‘bits’ go together? It’s a process of trial and error.
Remove the things that don’t feel relevant, leaving you with the pieces of the puzzle to slot into place.
Repressed Memories of Abuse
(Trigger Warning: Abuse)
Some experts in dreams, spirituality, and even psychiatry, believe that violent dreams could be a sign of repressed memories from somewhere in your past.
The violence indicates bad memories, such as physical, emotional, or psychological abuse.
This can be something you do remember, or something you don’t remember but your subconscious does.
If the dream happens time and time again, perhaps it’s time you booked yourself a therapy session to try and unpack some of the repressed trauma.

9 Spiritual Meanings of Violent Dreams
How much of your dream can you remember? The weird, seemingly unimportant parts of those dream are going to be what helps you slot the puzzle pieces into place. Let me explain a little better…
1) What Makes You Angry?
Look back over the dream if you can remember it.
- What made you angry in the dream?
- What drove you to a point of frustration where you had no other choice but to lash out at someone?
If something is making you violently angry rather than someone, it might be an indication of unrest or distress within YOU.
The ‘thing’ in question will be what helps you to interpret the spiritual meaning or message from a dream.
Here’s an example: You have a dream where you get angry with your car, kicking it, hitting it, and being violent towards it in other ways.
A car is something symbolic of the direction you’re going in life, or whether you have the drive to get there.
Therefore, getting…
