Dreams of Weapons by Different People

• When a woman dreams of a man attacking her with a weapon, it often represents the man's sexual desire for her.
• When a woman dreams of a man charging at her with knives or guns, she may feel frightened and run away, but in reality, it reflects her desire for men to approach her in a more assertive and aggressive manner. What she truly fears is her own desire: the wish to be conquered by a man and to be possessed by him sexually.
• When a man dreams of weapons, it can sometimes represent sexuality, especially when the "opponent" in the dream is female. However, at other times, it represents aggression, hostility, and anger.
