Violence is stems from inner rage, even a baby has it. The archetypical image of rage is the screaming horrific face often drawn in paintings, I am sure you have the picture of rage in your head as it is an archetype we are familiar with. Jung said that this rage that surfaces at times often does so for no apparent reason although something may set it off. His hypothesis was that it surfaces because of some unresolved conflict in the psyche and is manifest in dreams. There is something that a person has not come to terms with. The dream is an attempt of the unconscious mind to let the person know of this unresolved conflict and it uses a dramatic symbolic dream to confront the person. If the person can figure out through understanding the dream he can come to realize what it is that is causing the rage. When the person confronts the problem it is not any longer a terrifying nightmare, the dream changes as is no longer necessary to frighten the individual because the attention is focused on the problem and what was frightening becomes less so and it is easier to see what was causing the rage. When it becomes understood it can be confronted and the rage ends, it is no longer necessary to be overcome by rage as you have confronted it and vanquished it. Everyone has felt this rage to some degree, we all have our unresolved issues and if they are not confronted they will fester until rage erupts like a fiery volcano.
