  • You take revenge: an unforgiving streak that, left unchecked, will cost you trouble and friends
  • You avenge an injury: disgrace
  • Others take revenge on you: you'll have much to fear from enemies

How you felt

  • Anger or resentment: the dream often reflects a wound that hasn't healed
  • Fear: perhaps a worry about retaliation

Ask yourself

  • Which hurt am I still struggling to forgive?
  • What would truly bring me peace?
