Dreamers Dictionary

Vision + Depth Psychology: Hitting or shooting somebody expresses anger that has not been acknowledged during the day. Dreaming about being murdered or attacked: the murderer (a certain person in your life) makes impossible demands on you.
If we can’t fulfill the wishes, demands, or expectations of others, we feel guilty and our unconscious often “lets off steam” by way of aggressive attacks.
See Murder, Steam.
The Big Dictionary of Dreams

Situations in which we attack others or are attacked by others represent a difficult time and a hostile environment around us.
It is possible that the dreamer is refraining from openly expressing negative opinions due to fear.

Aggression in a dream may indicate repressed sexual or ego needs, particularly if the dreamer is the primary aggressor. More generally, aggressive action in a dream often reflects a conflict in one’s life.
