Most dreams contain messages that serve to teach us something about ourselves. Unfortunately many a times we forget what we dream about as we go about our daily routine. With recurring dreams, the message may be so important and/or powerful that it just will not go away. The frequent repetition of such dreams forces you to pay attention and confront the dream. The dream is trying desperately to tell you something. Such dreams are often nightmarish or frightening in their content, which also helps you to take notice and pay attention to them.
Recurring dreams are quite common and are often triggered by a certain life situation or a problem that keeps coming back again and again. These dreams may recur daily, once a week, or once a month, but whatever the frequency, there is little variation in the dream content itself. It usually points to a personal weakness, fear, or your inability to cope with something in your life - past or present.
The repetitive patterns in your dream can reveal some of the most valuable information on yourself. It may point to a conflict, situation or matter in your waking life that remains unresolved or unsettled. Or some urgent underlying message in your unconscious is demanding to be understood.
Following are some tips in overcoming your recurring dreams.
1. In understanding your recurring dream, you must be willing to accept some sort of change or undergo a transformation.
2. You must be willing to look within yourself and confront whatever you may find no matter how difficult it my be.
3. You must be able to look at the dream from an objective point of view. Try to get pass the emotional and reactive elements of the dream and get down to the symbolic images. Many times dreams are masked by elements that are disturbing preventing you to delve any deeper. This is a defense mechanism that your unconscious may be putting up.
4. Be patient. Do not get discourage if these dreams still recur even after you thought you have come to understand them.
5. Learn to accept yourself truly and fully.
Often times, once you discover what your recurring dream is trying to tell you, these dreams will change or altogether disappear.

I was taught that everyone in your dream is actually you. Person of the same sex=concious aspect of yourself, person of the opposite sex=subconcious aspect of yourself.
IMO, it sounds as if you are worried that part of you may have let your family/those closest to you down in some way, and you may have felt helpless as to the circumstances of that incident, and/or guilty that you didn't do what those around you pressured you to do with your life.
Black dress=what do think of/feel about this article of clothing? Then that's what it means TO YOU in the dream. (Some people think of funeral attire, some people think of what they wear for a special event). Tie this black dress into how you may have let someone down; by not saying good-bye to someone when you had the chance (funeral attire)...? Perhaps by not attaining a college degree or that special job (special event)?
And finally, because the dream doesn't scare you but instead upsets you, it sounds as if you feel a tad guilty that you are leading your own life and making your own decisions, and refusing to succumb to the will of others. The act of killing, in dreams, is rarely literal; instead, it usually means the end of an old situation.
It's okay for you to be in the driver's seat of life. Have faith in yourself that you are smart enough to be the master of your destiny, and confidence that you're doing a good job in *your* life.
Again, all this is only MHO.
Now, get that slinky black dress out of the closet, and go do something special this weekend! ;D
Good luck!!

Have you ever had something important in your life happen that you stood back and did nothing, when now in retrospect you should have stopped or done something about? That's what this sounds like to me. I don't think it's about the killing at all, it's about you being present in a situation but not stepping forward.
Do you often feel like you fade into the background in life and get walked all over?

wearing black and killing...that girl that is killing might be you and wearing the black dress makes it even more enhanced...you might have some shyt going on inside you or outside elements that you need to tend to. Open up your psyche, because there are things you are not addressing or following...
Good luck!!

If you are a witness to a killing in your dream, you may be reflecting on changes going on around you that you don't particularly like
