A hand strikes down, on an object, on a body, sometimes on yours, sometimes on you. The gesture is abrupt, the sound often clearer than the image.
The emotional tone
Released tension or conversely a cold fear. Whether you're the one striking or the one receiving, the dream speaks of two different things.
Symbolic meaning
Striking in a dream symbolizes anger that hasn't found its waking expression. Being struck signals a feeling of injustice not yet formulated. In both cases, emotion seeks a path.
The palmistry link
In palmistry, a broken head line and certain marks on the mount of Mars evoke unresolved conflicts. This dream often wakes these signs.
What this dream signals in your life
This dream arrives for people who feel old anger rising without finding whom to tell. It asks for naming, not acting out.
The striking hand in a dream is often the one that could never say no while awake.
