Benedita LumeA child getting killed in a dream marks the sudden end of a hope or a way of being that you have nurtured. This dream speaks of a state that cannot be mended because the very thing that was beginning to grow has been cut short. When a dream shows such a finality, it points to a part of your inner life that is being closed off or lost.
The heaviness of this dream is the way a thing is taken away so completely that nothing can be salvaged. You find yourself standing before a door that has been barred shut. I have sat at my own kitchen table and felt the ache of a small joy that was snuffed out before it could bloom. There is a way to keep walking even when the path you intended to take is gone.
The sight of someone killing children changes the scope from a single loss to a widespread feeling of vulnerability. It suggests that the things you depend upon are being threatened by a force that targets your very capacity to care and grow.
The presence of a weapon in a dream of a child getting shot or shooting a child adds the sharpness of a sudden, unkind blow to the loss. This detail shows that the end of this hope is not a natural fading, but a wounding caused by a biting malice.
A child getting run over or running over a child in a dream feels like being trampled by a heavy, moving force. You are seeing how the small, fresh beginnings you have tended are being pinned down by the sheer momentum of the world around you.
For its more general meaning: Dream about a dead child
Benedita LumeInterpreter interprets your dreams
Well, dear, the old houses never treated a dream as a stranger at the door. A dream was given a chair at the table like a cousin from far away. Most of what it carries is a warm sign about the life already around you, and even a hard one is usually a reminder about something small at home. Rest easy. The house is still standing.
