Ni’kol, the essence of your dream seems to center around themes of guilt, responsibility, and anxiety. The act of committing a murder, even in a dream, can symbolize deep-seated feelings of anger or aggression towards a situation or person in your life. Cleaning up the evidence suggests an attempt to correct or hide something you're not proud of. The presence of the mother, particularly if she is not someone you recognize, could represent your own nurturing instincts or a part of your conscience dealing with the aftermath of a wrong decision.
The broken glass and the act of picking up the pieces could indicate your efforts to restore order to a chaotic or disruptive situation. Quarters and dishes are mundane, everyday objects, which might be a sign that these feelings of guilt or worry are rooted in the routine aspects of your life. Being scared of being caught shows the fear of consequences that follow any action you regret or feel is morally questionable.
The landlord's inquiries and the baby's presence tie into concerns about responsibility and being scrutinized by others. The baby could signify innocence or purity, which is at odds with the crime in the dream, perhaps reflecting inner conflict between your actions and your values. Your need to return to the apartment to ensure nothing was left behind further emphasizes a fear of unresolved issues or mistakes coming to light.
Looking at your previous dreams, there's a recurring theme of navigating difficult situations and emotions. From the struggles of riding a bike on a challenging path to the complexities of interpersonal relationships and feelings of betrayal, your subconscious seems to be processing various stressors and anxieties from your waking life. The water in one dream and the backyard with attacking hornets in another suggest navigating through a landscape that can sometimes be overwhelming or threatening.
Overall, your dreams appear to reflect a period of introspection and concern over your actions and their impact on your life and relationships. While the emotions in this particular dream weren't intense, the presence of negative feelings indicates a mild undercurrent of anxiety that may benefit from self-reflection and perhaps finding peaceful resolutions to any real-life counterparts of these dream symbols.
