Ben, your dream is rich with symbolism and carries profound meanings related to your inner psyche and current life situation. The kingdom in your dream represents your personal world, your domain where you have control and influence. The king and queen symbolize authoritative figures or aspects of yourself that hold power. The dissatisfaction of the people with the king and queen suggests an inner conflict or discontent with certain dominant aspects of your personality or life circumstances.
As the heir to the throne, your role indicates a sense of responsibility or a calling to take charge of your life. The plot to kill the king and queen, despite being a lengthy and elaborate plan, signifies a deep internal struggle to change or overthrow these authoritative aspects. The initial failure and the injury to your hands point to the challenges and perhaps the pain associated with attempting to bring about this transformation. Hands often symbolize action and capability, so the injury could reflect a fear or experience of being hindered in your efforts.
The decision to use poison, a more subtle method, indicates a shift in approach, possibly suggesting that you are considering less direct but still impactful ways to bring about the change you desire. The hike with the kingdom represents a journey, possibly a metaphor for a life phase or a process of moving towards a goal. The act of poisoning the soup with shampoo, a cleansing agent, suggests a desire to purify or rid yourself of these negative authoritative influences in a way that might seem unconventional or unexpected.
The death of the king and queen in front of everyone and the appearance of the angel of death symbolize a dramatic and public transformation or the end of an era. The angel of death's command for them to go to hell and their initial resistance indicates an internal struggle with letting go of old, perhaps toxic, aspects of yourself or your life.
