An interpretation of bully dreams

An interpretation of bully 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. Dreaming about acting like a bully can symbolize the need to dominate conversations or situations, to be in control or impose your will. In an exaggerated way, the image fits. A bully can be the image of anger, rage, or even weakness. A common assumption is that bullies act that way because they compensate for feelings of weakness. See: Cowards The bully is actually trying to be a hero, someone with courage. See: Heroes In archetypal psychology, the Bully is understood as a shadow manifestation of the Warrior archetype. The Bully covers over feelings of cowardice and lack of power and is actually an immature attempt to be a Warrior in the truest sense. See: Warriors Bullying can symbolize being at the mercy of more aggressive people. Situations with bullies are usually uncontrolled and can symbolize lacking control over a situation or yourself. No authority will intervene. Dreams can create scenarios that trigger certain feelings. For example, you can dream about being humiliated by a bully and it corresponds with a recent experience of feeling humiliated by failing a test or being rejected. Dramatic dreams about being tortured or humiliated can connect with the experience of being bullied and are known to crop up even decades after the fact. It’s a sign that something is trying to work through your system. Bullying is torture for the people who endure the worst of it. See: Torturing For example, an adult woman dreams she’s cornered by the high school bullies who used to make her life miserable, and is forced to perform fellatio on a henchman. The dream is designed to help her heal from the experience by realizing what’s keeping her holding onto it. For the full story, see: Revenge.
