What Does It Mean to Dream About Hurting?

Being hurt in our dreams represents our own inner sensitivity – the location of the pain on the body is metaphor clue. If a child is hurt it connects to the dreamers own inner child that needs attention. Hurt animals can relate to our unconscious masculine or feminine side that is damaged – instincts, behaviors and traits need your care.

We tend to end up hurting the ones we love the most in our dreams such as kids, animals and husbands. Hurting others belongs more to the dreamers repressed feelings of frustration or anger mixed in with their inability to express in their lives.
