Someone was attacking me and my family and every time I’d try to punch him I wasn’t strong enough or fast enough to hurt the person
Dreams of being attacked or facing an adversary can reflect feelings of vulnerability and powerlessness in waking life. It may represent a situation or person in your life that you feel powerless against. The fact that you are unable to hurt the person may also indicate feelings of inadequacy or low self-esteem. Your desire to protect your family in the dream may suggest that you are feeling protective and responsible towards those that you love in your waking life. Alternatively, it can also imply that you are currently coping with intense feelings of fear and insecurity that you need to address in order to feel more empowered and assertive.
