Self Defense – Self-defense, whether in the form of martial arts or a more conventional weapon, can be a powerful by that you feel secure or perhaps that you feel threatened. More often than not it means that you feel threatened by something in your life that requires you to have a self-defense strategy. If you dream that you have to actually protect yourself by using self-defense, it means that you feel as if you are under immediate threat. In this case it would be important to evaluate your actual level of danger to determine the need to contact the authorities about your danger. Believe it or not, many people allow themselves to remain in very dangerous situations because of a false sense of confidence or because of a fear of the very people that could help them.
