What are possible meanings for dreams of anger?
To be angry in a dream or to express anger can mean that you really are angry. The dream imagery and scenario are chosen to trigger it—you subconsciously recognize the symbolism and react to that, not to the overt imagery. The purpose is to help you understand the source of the anger, to vent it, to deal with it, and to use it constructively.
Dreams act as emotional outlets, so if you aren’t expressing your anger, your dreams will help you express it. However, it is better to express it consciously, because your dreams amplify emotions and it’s sure to come out raw and powerful. Anger is a needed emotion, but some people have difficulty with it. Your dreams will try to teach you to channel it into assertiveness. Anger is needed to help you defend yourself and your boundaries.
Look closely at what gets you angry in a dream. You know that the dream is pushing your buttons, so you can look at your reactions for clues to the symbolism. After an anger dream, you can sometimes decode the meaning simply by answering the question, What am I angry about? Sometimes a direct parallel can be found in the symbolism used by the dream.
For instance, a woman dreams that she and her husband are eating dinner and her husband lets half-chewed food drop from his mouth, thinking it’s funny. It really ticks her off. The dream has followed an evening when she got angry but had to hide her anger when her husband said something embarrassing in front of a group of their friends—then kept it up all evening. He, of course, thought he was being funny.
The dream scenario triggers the same feelings of anger and embarrassment she felt at dinner. The husband-character’s sloppy actions with his mouth is a metaphor for his sloppy words. Both come from the mouth.
An active volcano is a classic symbol for anger building or exploding. See: Volcanos
Firing a gun can be an expression of anger. See: Guns

Question about a recent dream of mine
So last night I literally dreamed about God himself being dead. In my dream, twitter was grieving, putting up hashtags about it and all that, my mom was extremely upset and mad at me for some reason and I almost cried when I woke up.
I was never a religious person and never really cared nor believed the Bible/all things religion (much respect to those who believe).
But for some reason I'm really intrigued about this and wanted to ask you guys could that mean.
I'm open to clarify any detail about it.
PS: English it's not my first language so I apologize if it's kinda hard to read or understand what I'm trying to say. Love.

i need help
hey so I am wondering if anyone else has this or if anyone has advice for this so whenever I have a dream like 90% of the time it comes true I know right that sounds crazy but ill give you a few times this has happened.
1) if anyone remembers that tragic shooting in Florida back on February 14 2018 well I'm British and one night I had a horrible nightmare about a school shooting but not the shooting part I was sat under a desk in lock down position then I was pulled awake by a notification on my phone I was sleepy as well as terrified I looked at my phone the notification was from that news app about the Florida shooting.
​
2) one that strikes closer to home and one that im still trying to rationalise to myself is the Manchester attack no matter where you live you probably know about this and what a fucking horrible situation this is anyway the very night before I had a dream about a terrorist attack at a Katy perry concert I know this isn't the same artist but here is the bit that sticks with me in my dream I was watching the news and the death count in my dream was exact and the death toll wasn't released for another 3 days.
​
3) another less scary yet still strange dream was the death of Steven Hawkins I had this dream then the next day I asked my brother if Hawkins was dead we looked it up and nothing came up so we just continued on with our lives then it couldn't have been more than three days and the tragic death of Steven Hawkins was on the news
​
these are just three examples that are the first that came to my head there are more like the little ones where I have a dream conversation with someone and then have that exact conversation a few days later or once I had a dream that my neighbours had a party with loud music and it pissed my mum off then what do you know that happened.
​
obviously this isn't the worst thing on this page but its still scary and if anyone knows what this is or just can relate as everyone who ive told either thought Im mental or lying thank you for reading this thank you
hey so I am wondering if anyone else has this or if anyone has advice for this so whenever I have a dream like 90% of the time it comes true I know right that...

How to handle the loss of my dreamed-up son?
Had a very vivid dream last night. At one point in the dream, I had a son called Ezra but I asked a friend's mum to look after him (uni classes). Came back later and friend's mum now believes she will have Ezra permanently and she wouldn't even speak to me. I was distraught. That and being angry at the circumstances of Ezra's birth (I'm a Lesbian, got blackout drunk, Emmy (friend) didn't stay with me and some guy got me pregnant at 19). There was way more to the dream than this.
I've woken up now but I still feel the loss of my dreamed up/fictional son. I don't know what to do? Do I just forget about it?

I dreamt about the real world
It was as if I had seen the real world, not the one that we are in but, a dystopian place where people who consciously dream are locked away for fear of finding the real world. I escaped from the prison to eat my favourite food, chicken schnitzel, due to the fact that in the prison you barely got to eat and a lady (That I knew was guarding the real world trying to catch dreamers) spoke to me and asked me if I was ok, I stared blankly at her, she replied with "Oh good I almost thought you were conscious" with a sinister smile. I heard speak of someone once I had left the restaurant talk about words that would unlock the gates to the prison and let the conscious dreamers be free, I found other dreamers, fell in love and walked amongst the rooftops of cities and through streets for what felt like days. I found myself reaching a pinnacle of a grand tower, that stood above the city and the code words that would set the dreamers free, I returned to the prison, near the restaurant that I had broken into, the same lady spoke to me she was angry with what I had done, that I would let people know of the real world and with the words of power, I let out all the people into the real world and woke up.

I asked God about the meaning of life?
I just had a semi-lucid dream where I was winter hiking with a photographer and my two cousins and we stumbled upon a small hole in the snow/ice that led to an enormous lair/dimension.
A godly statue that was in this lair thing started flashing light and eventually started moving. He made is way up to us; I said hi to him and asked him how he was, and he waved at me peacefully.
I then asked him, “What’s the meaning of life?” He didn’t answer or stop, he just continued walking up to us.
Once he got to us, he slowly started winding up the right side of his body, and he says, “The meaning of life… is THIS (slaps me with his ginormous right hand)”.
Everything around me (and myself) breaks into colourful fractals. It’s like with this one slap, he destroys the entire world.
After a few seconds of falling backward/downward into these small fractals, and hearing screams around me, I awoke in my bed.
Any possible ideas of what this might mean, if anything?! Did I piss off this God when I asked him the meaning of life, or was that the meaning of life?!
