Attack

An attack in a dream represents feelings of being attacked emotionally in our waking lives. Identify the attacker in your dream to learn who-or what-is causing you the distress. Other common attack dreams-a man or woman being chased by males at night, someone shooting you or attacking you with a knife-may reflect literal fears of violence or vulnerability. If you are attacked and are unable to defend yourself, this reflects a feeling of powerless against whomever or whatever your attacker represents. Attackers may also represent internal struggles-"battles" with drug, alcohol, or food addictions, for example, that a person "just can't beat." Attackers may also represent social pressures to conform.
