A punch is read as anger or frustration looking for a target. Tradition takes it as a symbol of conflict and of energy held back too long, not as a call to act it out. Punches that land softly or not at all are among the most common versions, read as feeling powerless to make yourself heard. Being punched is linked to feeling attacked or criticised, while punching a wall points to frustration with a situation rather than a person. It can help to ask where you need to set a boundary or say something clearly.

My Cosmic Code has a private dream journal. Write a dream down and the app picks out the symbols in it, shows what dream books say about them and, over time, which words recur across your entries. The journal is stored on your device only.
