A beast appears in a dream as a manifestation of open enmity. This image serves to process the presence of a raw, unmediated hostility that the mind is currently sorting through. The dream makes this conflict visible so that the source of the friction can be identified.
The dreamer finds no way to hide from this aggression. This specific experience of being attacked by a beast indicates that the mind is rehearsing a state of being without shelter against an onslaught. The suddenness of such a dream reveals how an external or internal pressure is currently being felt as an unavoidable force.
The pressure remains a part of the current psychological processing. There is a clarity in knowing that this hostility is a subject to be observed rather than a part of the self.
The dreamer experiences the sensation of being attacked by a beast to navigate the feeling of being exposed to a sudden strike. Such a dream occurs when the mind works through the impact of an unexpected blow. The intensity of the encounter shows that a conflict is currently being felt as a direct and unshielded experience.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
