Dreaming of Murder

murder, assassination · mostly negative, with one happy exception

Murder mostly signals sorrow and threats, though one tradition sees an unexpected reunion.

What happens in the dream

  • You witness a murder: by one tradition, you will welcome someone you never expected to see again, the one happy sign
  • You commit murder: you are getting into a dishonourable venture that will stain your name
  • You see a murder committed: much sorrow from others' wrongdoing, and stagnant affairs
  • You are murdered: enemies are secretly working to bring you down

How you felt

  • Anger or fear: the dream often reflects a violent feeling you don't allow yourself
  • The urge to end something: it may show a wish to put a stop to a situation or a part of yourself

Ask yourself

  • What anger am I holding in?
  • What would I like to bring to an end?
