What does it mean if you killed somebody in your dream?

Answer 1

Murder

To dream that you have committed a murder, indicates that you are putting an end to an old habit and your former ways of thinking. This could also mean an end to an addiction. Alternatively, you may have some repressed aggression or rage at yourself or at others.

To dream that you witness a murder, indicates deep-seated anger towards somebody. Consider how the victim represents aspects of yourself that you want to destroy or eliminate.

To dream that you are murdered, suggests that some important and significant relationship has been severed and you are trying to disconnect yourself from your emotions. It also represents your unused talents.

Note also that dreams of murder occur frequently during periods of depression.

Killing

To dream that you kill someone, indicates that heavy stress may cause you to lose your temper and self-control. Consider the person you have killed and ask yourself if you feel any rage towards him or her in your waking life. You may very well be expressing some anger or hatred toward this person. Alternatively, you may be trying to kill or put an end to an aspect of yourself that is represented by the person killed. Identify the characteristics of this person and ask yourself how you do not want to be like him or her.

To dream that you have been killed, suggests that your actions are disconnected from your emotions. Alternatively, it refers to drastic changes that are happening in your life.

This dream may also represent a part of you or your life that you wish would leave you alone and stop creating a nuisance. Killing may represent the killing off of old parts of yourself and old habits.

Answer 2

Some recent studies suggest that dreaming may literally be the brain's opportunity to just let its guard down and make incoherent thoughts while your body is is resting and repairing. Your resources during sleep are spent on the body, and your brain is part of that process. Further, the brain also needs some rest. During the day, it actually puts a lot of effort into deciding what signals are important and what should be ignored. Otherwise you would likely go insane. It doesn't do that as much while you're asleep. Maybe.

Answer 3

Short answer - you don't like him/her.

Most people have had similar dreams. The person is someone who is getting in your way, someone causing a great deal of resentment, frustration, or a threat to you.

You probably have the real or imagined idea that if this person were to go away, an ongoing problem with your life would go away also.

Answer 4

It means you dreamed you killed somebody.

Why do dreams have to have "meaning"?

Answer 5

Sounds more like a nighmare to me. Dreams are meant to be enjoyable. Now if you're saying that you enjoyed killing that person....

Answer 6

This points to repressed anger towards someone or something, if it was someone you know or family then there might be some anger you need to get over to have a sound sleep.

Answer 7

nothiung it just means that you were thinking about killing that person during the day becuase when you dream its about things that happened in the day ur brains just going through it and wha you thought and stuff....

Answer 8

It depends upon the emotions that you felt whilst you were doing the killing.

Answer 9

Please add the details of how you felt after you killed them and who it was and what they mean to you. You'll get much better speculation that way. It isn't me is it?

Answer 10

Nothing ; just possibly that it symbolises that there is something(rather than someone) in you life that you want to be rid od.
