I was just looking at an on-line dictionary. I know our dreams are personal interpretations but I think a dictionary could help give me some clues.
It's tough to decide what to look up but I choose 'attack'. It said it may be warning me of my own temper against the attacked person. Since it turned out to be my daughter, maybe this is a warning of my temper with her, and actually all my children, which I was fiercely defending in my dream. I have been irritable and stressed lately.
