It's a release of pent-up aggression. On the other hand, dreaming about being hit by something or someone can indicate feelings of being attacked or criticized in your waking life.

Dreaming of hitting an object or person may be a manifestation of repressed aggression, a Freudian 'return of the repressed', where the unconscious mind seeks to express what the conscious mind suppresses.

Taking that analysis a bit deeper... It could symbolize a struggle with the 'Id', the primal part of our psyche that houses our basic drives. Conversely, dreams of being hit may reflect a sense of victimhood or perceived threats from the 'external world', a projection of the 'Super-ego', the moralistic part of our psyche that deals with societal rules. These dreams may be a call to reconcile the 'Id' and 'Super-ego' with the 'Ego', the realistic part that mediates between the two, to achieve psychological balance.

Dreaming about hitting something or someone can be a spiritual signal that you are grappling with unexpressed anger or frustration. It's a spiritual release of suppressed emotions, a call from your soul to acknowledge these feelings and seek resolution. Conversely, dreaming about being hit by something or someone can be a spiritual message of feeling under attack or overwhelmed. It's a spiritual cry for help, a plea from your soul to seek protection and balance. Both scenarios are spiritual wake-up calls, urging you to confront these issues head-on, to seek inner peace and harmony. They are spiritual invitations to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing.
