An interpretation of ambushing dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. To dream about being ambushed might warn of hidden danger. You have overlooked something that could come back to haunt you, or a situation has potential for trouble, now or later. The idea of ambush applies to any situation where an attack comes out of nowhere. Someone undercuts you at work or school, and you dream about being ambushed by an animal or mugger. You can be ambushed by a spouse who brings up a loaded subject at the perfect time to gain advantage, a co-worker who pulls a surprise, or an unexpected change of plans. These are situations where people say they are ambushed, and dreams can portray them through imagery of a sneak attack. The symbolism can be used anytime you feel betrayed or unpleasantly surprised. The shadow side of the psyche is known for being a trickster. It can interrupt your life, sometimes forcefully and deceptively, seemingly out of nowhere. The ambush is a favorite trick of your shadow because it pops up when you least expect it and sabotages you. See also: Animals, Attacking, Escaping, Fighting, Hiding, Running, Shadows
