Detailed Meaning of the Dream
Anger and Frustration
Dreaming of being attacked by an invisible force can be connected to feelings of a loss of control. You may have been sabotaged, manipulated, or gaslighted recently in your waking life, evoking strong emotions. The invisible force could be representing these feelings, such as anger, frustration, or anxiety, that you’re experiencing in your waking life. It may be an indication to find healthier ways of dealing with negative emotions.
Creativity
A dream about being attacked by an invisible force can be related to your longing for success or even peace and security. This can also be connected to your individualism and sense of self-expression, which may be associated to feelings of creativity and wanting to blossom and fulfil your potential.
This could be an indicator that in real life you might feel like your sense of freedom is somehow negatively impacted by people or events, and that you are not able to achieve your full creative or expressive potential.
The threatening force can be a metaphor for the longing of being your true self. Your subconscious mind may be hinting that what you might need is some way to channel these emotions more positively and transform them into positive outcomes.
The Sense of Control
Feeling like you have been attacked by an invisible force might also be connected to a sense of not being in control over your life or some aspects of your life in your waking state.
This may be an indication that you are longing to re-establish a sense of control over your life or events in your everyday life. You may have to face the realisation that this control is beyond your reach.
Spirituality
It is possible to associate the dream of being attacked by an invisible force with spirituality and a spiritual world. The invisible force may be representing an aspect of the spiritual world, connected to the spiritual or religious aspects of your life.
This force implies feeling disconnected from nature, spirituality, or religion and an indicator of internal longing to reconnect to these aspects of your life that goes beyond material things.
If this invisible force is manifested in the form of invisible people, you may feel that you are longing to express yourself, your worries, thoughts, or beliefs in your everyday life to people that matter to you or people that should receive your message.
Wrapping Up
As we have mentioned, this type of dream might relate to your feeling of deeply built-in anger and frustration over negativity in your life or the feeling of not being able to control the things happening in your life or perhaps the feeling that your creativity and self-expression is not surfacing as much as it should or as much as it feels natural to you.
Finally, dreaming about being attacked by an invisible force might also be connected to the fact that you may be longing for a more spiritual connection with yourself and your surroundings.
In general, such dreams can be your subconscious mind telling you that something needs addressing in your waking life. You may want to assess any stressors or triggers in your life, as this may help in overcoming such dreams.
