To dream that you are attacking someone could represent a conscious or unconscious desire to physically, verbally, or emotionally attack someone in your waking life. Dreaming of attacking someone is a healthy and safe way to expel negative emotions and energies without actually hurting anyone. In this way, you are able to act out your aggressions, without causing harm – provided, of course, that you don’t act out your dream in your waking life. Further, dreaming of attacking someone could represent feelings that you are being attacked in some way. It can also suggest feelings of vulnerability, defensiveness, or hurt.
