Killing someone in a dream is how you cut down an adversary that holds you back. This action comes from a place of needing to clear a path so that you can move forward without being held back.
The dream shows a sharp division between what you are and what has been blocking your progress. You are putting an obstacle to rest so that your own life can breathe again. I have cleared the table of old scraps to make room for the bread, and I know this need to make space. There is a certain stillness that comes when a fight is finally over.
When you see someone trying to kill another person in a dream, the meaning shifts from your own hand to an outside force. A conflict is moving through your world, but it is not your own battle to settle.
Killing two people in a dream doubles the weight of the victory. It suggests that you are resolving more than one matter at once, clearing a wider space for yourself, dear.
If the person you are killing is a bad person in the dream, the act is a matter of justice. You are simply setting things right by taking away a wrong that has been present.
Stabbing another person in a dream makes the strike feel very close and certain. Because the strike is so focused, it shows that the injury you are inflicting on the problem is sharp and immediate.
For its more general meaning: Dream about killing
What does it mean to see my best friend killing someone I don’t know
Dear Becky,
Dream about your best friend killing a stranger is a signal for realisation, spirituality and birth. This dream means you will realize the authentic dimension of a problem that you had already decided. There are spiritual forces that turn on you. The birth of a new work project has you excited.
