What it Means When you Have a Dream of Murder
Dream Interpretation of Murder
Dreams are very hard to figure out exactly what they mean. Analyzing your dream of murder may not relate to actually committing the act of killing someone. Often it can be connected to a recent activity in your conscious days. If you are someone that really needs to have a meaning behind such a terrible dream then think about the last 48 hours of your life. Likely there will be a relationship between day activities and your dream of murder at night. What you can recall may have a special significance when trying to interpret your murder dream. More times than not, a dream of murder has something to do with unfinished business or unresolved problems in your regular day.
Nightmare Meaning of Murder
Another interesting finding around repeat murder dreams is when dreamers stop trying so hard to get a true meaning they go away on their own. Nightmares that contain a dream of murder can often serve as a release and you may wake up in a friendlier world, feeling somewhat relieved. If you or your mate toss in bed at night, sleeping terribly and dreaming of murder; a therapist can begin to investigate the murder of a patient’s dream for a more precise meaning. In the meantime here are some simple interpretations related to killing someone…
- KILLING: a) If someone is killed in your dream and you are a terrified witness to the crime, you will change your place of abode and be sorry for it. b) Dream of killing a person, whether purposely or by accident, is an omen that you will be criticized for having bad manners.
- MURDER: When you have committed the crime in a dream of murder it is bad luck, especially with younger people. The nature of this dreaming of murdering is symbolic of losing your temper towards people that have no moral values or scruples.
- GUN: If there is an injustice done to you or a family member it is foretold by the firing of a pistol, gun, shotgun or high caliber firing arm. When you hear the sound of a gunshot it is a sign of unrest.
- ANGER When you are angry in a dream it can mean good or bad things. It is good when the source of your anger is from unjust wrong doing. It is bad when the source is losing your temper. When you have a Dream of murder where you are physically striking and trying to harm someone it means you have been shamed through amour.
In our conscious life we understand that homicide is unlawful. Killing another human being is usually the result of arguments, drugs, robbery or crimes of passion. There are two kinds of murder as defined by the judicial system: murder 1 (in the first degree) and murder 2 (in the second degree). Does any of this relate to having a murder dream? Yes, in the sense of our conscious mind being aware of the unconscious mind and vice versa. When waking, the acknowledgement of that a dream of crime, homicide or murder are not acceptable in society become real.
When your dream is reoccurring it is a good plan to seek professional advice. When an affected patient brings a dream of murder to professionals it is taken seriously. Some patients honestly believe that they are going to commit this act. Rarely is that the case. Finding a symbolic meaning is often not what you think it is. HYPNOSIS Mental heath care professionals will often use hypnoses to recover memory movement. It is often the best way to find the underlying truth! When under hypnosis you may also find other psychological issues that are causing your dreams of murder. Unfortunately our subconscious mind crosses into our conscious world and vice versa. This is a human brain behavior that we have no control over in our sub-conscious thoughts. An example of undesirable dreams that are deep seeded, which relate to being a murderer, is an adult woman that was abused by her father as a child. She may have a dream of murder and castration of the abuser (her father). With the right medical care and analysis this frightening, reoccurring dream can be overcome.
Dream Murderer Meaning Summary
Maybe you have had to refrain from engaging in a heeded discussion during the day. In your deepest thoughts you may find that there are serious feelings of resentment towards an individual or situation. Possibly the person you are trying to inflict pain on is someone you see as a threat. It could also mean that your are trying to destroy a part of yourself for reasons only you can resolve.

In my occurring dream someone(family members)is arguing with me and my mother cones to my defense and shes shot in the head. Tonight, it was several shots and I watched her brains hit the elevator door and I grabbed her to keep her from falling hard and I had to hold her open head together. The friends of the family member stood there holding us hostage while the others fled. I was screaming for help and then I woke up in tears. My husband & son wake & tell me I cry, like a hard hard cry in my sleep. I’m afraid to go back to sleep. Please help???????????????

I’m in first year in high school and in history we are learning about the Scottish wars of independence.I just woke up from s dream crying because I was crying in the dream and feeling guilty. Thai is how the dream went….. I was on the Scottish side and first we were fighting Greece (year I know they are not involved in the wars of independence) and we won but they had teamed up with England so we had to fight England.The English team were the people in the year below me when I went to primary school.Me. Being in the Scott’s side just attacked them but they were sitting on chairs in rows so they didn’t attack back.I had a huge knife so I just stabbed them in the head and then all over their body’s because I wasn’t allowed to kill them anymore just put them in pain.When we won I ran back to school to apologise to the people who weren’t dead and they forgave me but they then told me I had killed an autistic little boy named James but in the dream he was only sick,i then broke down in tears and said “I didn’t mean to kill him,I swear!!” But it was too late. I then woke up crying and balling my eyes out and I still feel guilty because I killed people.

I had a dream last night about being a passenger of a car driven by my mother who passed away about 20 years ago. We were driving by the ocean taken in the calm beautiful waters. As we turned a corner the water levels were all of a sudden so high our car was over taken by water. Before waking up in a state of panic my first thought was to help my mother. In life she was parallelized from the waist down from a car accident as a teenager
Sally-Anne says
Perhaps you are not in control of aspects of your life that you’re on the fence about. Your mom can help you make decisions which will restore the control you seek. When excess water is present it means it’s time to find peace with emotions. The drive by the ocean can be representative of starting fresh with new found spirituality. Perhaps you feel some sense of responsibility for your mom’s parting but you should not…each one of us are eternal beings occupying a physical body. You are soooo much more that your body.
jaded says
i have dreams of being surrounded by water with no visible escape.

My sister dreamt last night that we are in the river. She washed clothes there then suddenly the dresses were floating and asked me to get it. I jumped into the river but there was a narrow hole and suddenly the lizard passed through my body then we’ve shouted. After that dream she woke up.

JDrake says
I had the strangest dream last night. The information above only speaks to part of the dream. In my dream, I was catching up with a friend from middle school. Haven’t seen or spoken to her in years. We were standing outside and she walked into a fast food restaurant. While she was inside, I witnessed a murder of 3 men. I tried calling the police but the phone was working. Apparently someone else called because by my 5th or so try, the cops were pulling up. As I was trying to give the cop a description of the killer and his accomplices, I looked across the street and there they were, but then I noticed the killer rode by on a bike with a mask on as I was talking to the cop. The killer went to the next block in wait for me. As I was driving away, there he was standing at the stop sign and he shot me in the face and ran. I kept driving and saying to myself, “I will not die today, I will not die today, I can’t die right now.” And finally I woke up, but I could still feel the gunshot. The pain ran down the front of my body. Help?! I need to know what this means!

Awesome post.

Well, I dreamt some thieves were robbing my house and one by one I ceased their existence, a couple of them held me at gunpoint, but I always regained the upper hand (without the use of any type of weapon), choked a few, snapped one’s neck throwing him off the stair… I didn’t like the dream, that feeling of restlessness because someone’s invading your home is messed up, let alone the fact that killing another human being (albeit in a dream) feels atrocious, specially considering I’m going to medical school, that’s like the N°1 fear every doctor has, not a single doctor wants to end someone’s life.
The day before was an awful day whether in regards to my family or my relationship, I just don’t feel at ease or totally trustful towards anyone, some things are just too little too late and quite some others are too much they turn overbearing.
The dream’s probably related to that, but I don’t know, I’d just like to figure it out
wildly weird says
i just had a wierd dream about killing someone i know from college. its just odd that we dont have any connections wayback then, i mean, were not even friends. we dont see each other often or even talk that much but it seems like we were very close friends in my dream. i dont hate her, i dont envy her, i dont think of her at all; but out of all people, why her? — as i remember, in my dream, there were 4 of us. we were all friends, the other 2 girls that i know of are my friends in real life (the other girl who got killed is not really part of our gang) and so, 4 of us were taking turns in front of a mirror as we brush our hairs.. when it was her time to face the mirror, i covered her face with her hair and choke her with it. (WEIRD!!!) i gave a signal to my other friends and they began to stab her with chopsticks! (Whyyy?!)… after that were series of events i cant remember now but to sum it all up and to end it, me and my friends spend the rest of our lives guilty, hiding from authorities, hiding from everything and everyone (really) and in denial of her death. does this dream have any meaning at all? or just random imaginary things popping out of nowhere.? i got creeped out while writing this comment.. 🙊
Elagar pimpale says
I felt like I killed 7/8 people, with a small knife, then I created a team with some people and killed some few people and one day I met her. I was sitting in front of her house. I saw her and she came to talk to me.
Nicole says
I had a dream my sister killed her best friend and I was a witness. What was most scary is that she cut her in little pieces into big and small boxes and stored everything in a big container, and I was scared of my own sister. I don’t know what this means…
Jme says
I’ve dreamed of witnessing and covering up a friends death and later in the dream being scared I’ll be caught. No remorse just fear of getting caughht. I’ve had this same feeling in dreams, knowing I helped cover a murder up and not feeling guilty but scared I’ll get caught. It’s always past friends from middle school..
JD says
I had a dream I shot myself on accident in the throat. It was very intense, in the sense that, I didn’t hear the shot, but felt the pain in my neck. I tried to wake up my parents, and debating to call 911 myself. I couldn’t talk or had a hard time explaining to my Mom what happened. I just remember I was thinking about my kids and that I was going to leave them alone in my ex’s care. I felt I didn’t help them or fight for them enough when I was alive. Please explain further what this means. I think it already explains itself, but looking for a second opinion.
Analicia says
I’ve had a dream where I killed myself(not me but a figure of me) and I ended up in court being charged for murdering myself. I’m lost at what it means.
Jenna says
Last night I had a dream that my mom cut my sister’s head off right in front of me. I had to live with the fact that my sister was dead.
june says
Hi, i just had a dream about me(being a police) going to a nightclub/shady area to have some fun and i met some of my past “friends” (who were very notorious) there. For some reason, they were all carrying knives/parangs and blades. Then they asked for a smoke break outside and we were outside squatting along the road side in front of the club. Suddenly a man (someone i dont know) who was in his training costume, and had to jog past us before being able to continue jogging and he scolded us “Dont occupy the middle of the road!” I told myself “oh no”. One of my past notorious friend just ran up to him and stabbed him in the heart with the knife. I quickly turned back. Upon hearing the blood splatter, I just thought about my police job vs a past friend and ran.
Since the club was quite near my house i could run home. But because i didnt want to be seen in the main road, i took a detour to get back home. As i ran, i encounter this green hill-kind-of place where coffins were layed and people who were going to die were around it, having family members beside them for their last moments. They were also sat/layed at the bottom of the hill. They were all suffering, about to take their last breaths. I observed one family for about 2-3 seconds to see what was going on before starting to run again.
Please help me decifer this

I just had a dream I went to this apartment to put on a Halloween costume and I grabbed the sexy nurse costume. Then I went in the other roo and saw this black, long ass snake with its head cut open. I felt so disgusted by the smell and fearful. I left in a hurry.
Me and my mother, my sister and maybe some guy or kaylie was with me and we were going back home to the apartment. The apartment was left open by me maybe on accident I thought. We went inside and I was hollering “is anyone here”. At one point I think the guy decided his plan. He started coming out of the closet. He looked relatively normal. He made a joke about him jizzing on my sisters face in the most normal way, but I still felt weird about him. I realize now that its weird he was probably waiting in the closet. Well he went in the other room and was sitting on the couch and my mom was in front of him for some reason. He went to cut her throat and was successful. Well I went over there seeing him pull out the knife I went to go stop it. He killed her so I was going to seek revenge except he turned the knife onto me and I was fighting him. I tiny manage to get the knife and I cut his throat open. He had brown hair, and blue eyes. He was looking up at me with puppy eyes like how dare I. Somehow had gasoline on him. He reached to light a match. I started running. He started chasing after me and waited to light the match until he was close enough to probably grab onto me while he’s on fire. But i woke up so I don’t know if I survived.

Hi my name is Perla I’m 26 years of age. Today 10/27 @ 1:30am i had a horrible nightmare. I was at my so called apartment or someone else’s apartment and everything was normal. I had gone outside to use my father in-law’s van. ( He doesnt have a van ) I saw him out in the garage fixing or banging on something but I just glansed at him and left, when I got back I parked but for some reason I left the van keys in the ignition and had witness my father in law being murdered by someone I knew from me teenage years. I slowly backed away to call the police, when all of a sudden a man with a 2 x 4 told me where I’m going and I said home and I tried to run as I said the police is here ( no they weren’t ) but he new I was lying so he told me to go up stairs or he will beat me so I listened, as I was going up their was a little girl about 6 to 7 years of age and the man told her to put oil in the car or he is going to kill her family so she said yes knows and left to the garage. That time he was talking to her I took off and ended up back to the apartment and didn’t see my father in law and I found his phone lying down cracked and I saw lots of missed calls but couldn’t unlock his phone to call 911 so I left to the city to call police and told them the was a man killing people in my area so that when all the police officers rushed to but got lost so I took them were it was at but for someone reason we went up the apartment to open the door and find out the there were 2 infants on each Other with one of the infant decapitated and top head blowned off blood everywhere and started to cry and say why not me why them and as i cried for dear life i woke up crying because my brother in law knocked on the door and said if I’m ok I just told him I had a bad nightmare and it felt so real!!!!!!!! Why did I have such a scary and detailed dream I couldn’t go back to sleep and ended up in here I just can’t sleep anymore knowing I had that dream and now thinking if it’s going to happen again!??? 😟ðŸ˜ðŸ˜«
