Abstract

Rage

Anger that has exceeded its useful size — heat without aim, often more destructive than the cause warranted.

Rage in a dream is the dream's image of anger that has exceeded its useful size — heat that has outgrown the original injury and is now seeking something to strike. Rage is not the same as anger; anger can be measured, rage has lost its measure. The dream brings rage when something in your life — a long-stored grievance, a series of small insults that finally broke into the loud version, an inherited family heat — is currently producing more force than the immediate cause justifies. Rage caught early and contained with help is the dream affirming the right intervention. Rage released onto a household with no containment is the dream noting that the long stored heat has broken its banks, and the people in the room are receiving more than they ever owed.
