To dream that you have been stabbed, signifies your struggle with power. You may be experiencing feelings of inadequacy and defensiveness. Alternatively, you may be feeling betrayed as the popular phrase goes, "being stabbed in the back".To dream of being attacked by someone with a dagger, warns of physical injury from an enemy or a mugger.To dream that you die in your dream, symbolizes inner changes, transformation, self-discovery and positive development that is happening within you or in your life. Although such a dreams may bring about feelings of fear and anxiety, it is no cause for alarm and is often considered a positive symbol. Dreams of experiencing your own death usually means that big changes are ahead for you. You are moving on to new beginnings and leaving the past behind. These changes does not necessarily imply a negative turn of events. Metaphorically, dying can be seen as an end or a termination to your old ways and habits. So, dying does not always mean a physical death, but an ending of something.

On a negative note, to dream that you die may represent involvement in deeply painful relationships or unhealthy, destructive behaviors. You may feeling depressed or feel strangled by a situation or person in your waking life. Perhaps your mind is preoccupied with someone who is terminally ill or dying. Alternatively, you may be trying to get out of some obligation, responsibility or other situationTo see the dead in your dream, forewarns that you are being influenced by negative people and are hanging around the wrong crowd. You may suffer material loss. This dream may also be a way for you to resolve your feelings with those who have passed on.

If you dream of a person who has died a long time ago, then it suggests that a current situation or relationship in you life resembles the quality of that deceased person. The dream may depict how you need to let this situation or relationship die and end it.

In my opinion, I would say it was just a bad dream. When nightmares occur, your heart rate usually increases which naturally involves heavy breathing. I've has dreams where something happens and I wake up just before something major happens. Depending on people's beliefs, you could take this as a death encounter or a bad dream. But I'm leaning more towards bad dreams, since it is more common than dying from a nightmare. I hope this helped.

friends who are dead in real life that come to talk to you in dream are a protection. It is advised to meditate on their presence and you should receive an answer or message within 4 days.
Being stabbed is receiving injury toward your pride or self-love from an enemy. The face symbolises the true 'colors' of a person...and seeing friends and ennemies together shows a back-stabbing plot against you.
Maybe someone you love wants to deliberately hurt you for some reason.

stabbing pains in your chest is from the panic you felt in your dream. Now from the experiences of my passed away family members they saw their dead family before they died. They didn't have to be sleeping to see them. It was like their minds were slipping and would be talking to them. Then poof their dead within a few months.

I hope that's not the case with you. Perhaps your missing someone close to you that recently died. Or perhaps your subconscious wants to be able to put your mind at ease with familiar places for the after life.

Sounds like you were astral traveling and met up with them on the otherside. You scared yourself upon reentry into your body.
