Anger Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation from 22 unique sources about Anger

In a dream scenario, anger may express the tension between your conscious and unconscious urges. The aggressor in the dream will often represent the part of you that is demanding to be acknowledged. Freud spoke of an aggressive drive which he believed revealed itself in all walks of life and in all types of people.

He believed that the aggressive drive was just as much present in sex as in war.

Alfred Adler (1870-1937), an early disciple of Freud, believed that anger was the most fundamental force of the psyche and, if repressed, it could express itself in dream images of anger and aggression. Whatever may be the trigger, anger is one of the most common emotions to express itself in dreams, either by physical violence or by using symbols of anger such as weapons. Such dreams are likely to continue until the trigger for your anger is discovered and dealt with.

If a person has recurring dreams in which they are assaulting, raping or attacking someone, this suggests deeprooted sexual problems that they might want to talk over with a doctor. A single dream in which aggression, sexual or otherwise, occurs is not so worrying and is actually quite typical. Such a dream will be expressing negative feelings of anger, hostility, rejection, embarrassment or envy that have probably been repressed in waking life. Dreams of assassination or murder have the same interpretation. Dreams in which you are evicting someone from their home or your home suggests that there is something in your life you are angry about and of which you desire to be rid.

This may be some characteristic within yourself or another person. Dreams that focus on ambushing may have the same theme but in this case there may be something about the person or thing being ambushed that you want to possess yourself.

Libel dreams in which you are attacking someone verbally may suggest that you are spreading vicious rumors or someone is spreading them about you. Any dream in which you have a feud, dispute or attack suggests either a disagreement with someone in your waking life or inner conflict with an aspect of your character. Dreams in which you are rebelling against someone or something have the same interpretation. Pay attention to the atmosphere of your dream as it may reveal much about your emotional state at present. The dream may also be describing your feelings of being threatened. [1]

To dream of feeling very angry, forewarns that you will be involved in a tense situation. People you care about may let your down and disappoint you. Being angry in your dream may also have been carried over from your waking life. In your dream, you may have a safe outlet to express angry emotions that you have not vented in real life.

If you dream that someone is angry at you, this indicates inner turmoil. Some aspect of yourself is in conflict with another aspect of yourself. Perhaps a part of you that you don’t acknowledge, is fighting to be heard. This dream is also common when we’ve done something wrong, and feel guilty about it. [2]

Material aspects: Anger in a dream can often represent other passionate emotions. Aggression (an unprovoked attack) can be perceived as an extreme form of anger. We are struggling with the right to express that which is distressing us. We probably are unable to express emotion appropriately in waking life, but can do so in dreams. Annoyance is a mild form of anger which is a reaction to a perceived threat. It reflects our feeling that we are being denied what is ours by necessity or by right. Consult the entry for argue / arguments. [3]
This may be a carry-over from your daily life. In our dreams we can experience and express such feelings safely. Feeling great anger in your dream may be disturbing but pay attention to it and attempt to deal with all of your emotions in a more appropriate and productive manner. Also, you could be being warned to release your anger in a positive manner.

If you are not aware that you have anger, this dream is warning you of its hidden power. Anger is just another pattern to be dealt with.  [4]

1- Anger in a dream can often represent other passionate emotions. We arc struggling with the right to express that which is distressing us. We probably are unable to express emotion appropriately in waking life, but can do so in dreams.

2- We can give ourselves permission to feci passion, which could be sexual or otherwise. Often the way we express emotion in dreams can give us information as to appropriate behaviour in everyday life.

3- We are suffering divine displeasure. [5]

Anger in a dream at someone you know is usually an expression of pent-up hostility toward that person. In waking you may not be able to express your anger, because you do not wish to hurt their feelings or they may be your employer. In sleep anger comes out because you have to vent it in some fashion.

If you dream that someone is angry at you, then this means that you either suspect that the person in real life is angry at you, or you have that particular paranoia. [6]

Psychological / emotional perspective: We can give ourselves permission to feel passion or aggression, which could be sexual or otherwise. Often the way we express emotion in dreams can give us information as to appropriate behaviour in everyday life.

If someone is angry at you in dreams in an uncharacteristic way you may have offended them without consciously being aware that this has happened. [7]

To dream that you are angry signifies vexation and regret within yourself. You push the negativity down and this reveals itself in anger toward others. Evaluate yourself. Anger could have followed you into your dream from something that happened in waking hours. Dreams are a safe harbor with which to deal with these intense emotions. You simply haven’t yet consciously accepted these strong angry emotions. [8]
Frustration, hurt, disappointment in self because of unexpressed emotions and needs. You are always angry at yourself even though yelling at others. Insecurity, fear and negative programs are projected on others because of refusal to acknowledge that source of problem lies within. Anger may be used positively or negatively: to see areas for work on self, or to avoid responsibility and blame someone else. [9]
To dream of anger, denotes that some awful trial awaits you. Disappointments in loved ones, and broken ties, of enemies may make new attacks upon your property or character.

To dreams that friends or relatives are angry with you, while you meet their anger with composure, denotes you will mediate between opposing friends, and gain their lasting favor and gratitude. [10]

Throughout history societies have believed that if their gods are displeased they will show their anger.

If a dream figure is angry, therefore, we may feel that we are offending our own code of conduct or are suffering divine displeasure. Often anger is symbolized in dreams by, for instance, a flaming torch or a raging animal. [11]

Dreaming of expressing anger is a healthy way to release or vent your frustrations and hurt feelings at what may be politically incorrect, or socially unacceptable in real life. Keep in mind that your anger, if channeled properly, could be the creative fuel you need to manifest your hearts desires.

(Fury, Indignation, Rage) Leaving one’s home angry in a dream means entering a prison. Ifone gets angry for material gains in a dream, it means that he has disdain and contempt toward God’s religion. However, should he get angry in his dream to defend God’s rights, then it means gaining strength and power. Becoming angry for someone else’s sake in a dream signifies a corrupt contract, a tainted agreement, a marriage consent with a hidden intent of a divorce to follow, fighting for unlawful earnings, or it could mean accumulating money from usury. In a dream, usury and anger mean falsehood in wakefulness.
