Abuse others, abuse

The root cause of sadism is often anger. This anger comes from the psychological trauma suffered in childhood and still does not fade to this day. He wanted to hurt someone else-usually someone he loved-or to provoke a reaction from her. Most people do not behave violently when awake, but in dreams, suppressed desires will escape.
It is important whether the dreamer behaves violently in the dream or dreams of another person abusing him. In dreams, other characters often reflect a certain part of the dreamer's character, so in this case, he must think about whether he will intentionally or unintentionally cause himself to suffer. Perhaps the dreamer wants to punish himself for his imaginary illegal behavior, and dreaming about abuse is the way to punish him. Sadism in dreams may also imply a masochistic nature while awake.
On a spiritual level, sadism symbolizes misguided vitality.
