🧭 Direction

Relationships

Consider the context of the dream and your emotions during it. Are you using the knife or being threatened by it? If you are using it, think about what you are cutting and why. If you are being threatened, it may be a sign to protect yourself from someone or something in your waking life. If the knife represents precision and skill, think about how you can apply these qualities to overcome obstacles in your life.

❤️ Feelings

The dream of knives may evoke feelings of fear, vulnerability, and danger. Knives symbolize aggression, conflict, and potential harm. This dream may indicate a sense of being threatened or the need to defend oneself. It can also suggest a fear of confrontation or a desire to protect oneself from emotional or physical harm. The presence of knives in a dream may leave one feeling on edge, anxious, or uneasy. It is important to explore the context and emotions surrounding the dream to gain a deeper understanding of its meaning.

Dream

I was in a garage looking for knives and then I was outside my old house. I was putting moose antlers in the tree. I had my old dog that died and my dog now outside with me. It was time to leave and I was going to leave but there was only a trail leading into the forest. I hugged a lady bye, then I went to go hug her husband. It switched to me laying on a blanket or something with my supervisor. She held my hand like my mother does. It made me think that every time she talks my mother that past away 3 years ago comes through her.

Dream

It was about the coming of Christ. In this town there was a prophesy of the coming of Christ made out of clay. It depicted the savior reaching out to the people, two people looking up to the heavens with their hands on their faces, and two brothers rejoicing and hugging each other. There was also a written prophesy that said the savior would come as the butterfly blossomed from the chrysalis. There was a thorny plant near me that had a blue butterfly beginning to come out of it's chrysalis. It wasn't ready to come out all the way yet, but I was impatient and reached out to grab it. I cut my hand on the thorns and became very sick. When the butterfly was ready to come out, it fluttered around to show the good news, and flew to the heavens. Christ returned to the people. He began to comfort the people and hold their hands. Many did not see Christ because they were ashamed and trying to make themselves better before seeing Him. I remember thinking that it was all a waste because the savior could make them perfect if they would just go to Him. Part of my dream was about prophecy of the birth of Christ. There were many false prophets. They stored butterflies and released them to say that Christ had already come. They held knives to the throats of anyone who disagreed. In this dream my mom was Mary, and was pregnant with the savior. The false prophets tried to kill every pregnant woman to prevent the coming of a powerful being. They slit Mary's throat, but she lived. The feeling of the spirit was very strong, but many were too afraid of seeming foolish to accept what they were feeling.

I was walking into a supermarket with my aunt. She had long black hair and was wearing a wintergreen dress. We were both barefoot. The supermarket was very crazy and busy. I saw my coworker buying video games. Then I overheard three girls who worked at the store complaining to one another about the chaos of the store. Then an older blonde women, wearing hippie clothes and wearing jewelry took my hand. She said she wanted to tell everyone she was my mom to keep me safe while I was in the store. I looked at the women and told her no I will be ok. I exited the store and was in a fast moving river. I wasn’t struggling I was just going with the flow of the river. Then all of a sudden I saw hanging spider just inches above the water approaching fast. I had to stick my face in the water to avoid the spiders. Later I was in a building that was destroyed and crumbling. I yelled out to see if anyone was there and my one coworker was trapped on the floor above. I found 3 knives in a old box and took them. I found my coworker on the floor above after climbing some stairs. She was dressed in tattered warrior type clothes and thanked me for helping her. Later I was laying in a field at night while 3 people were arguing by a car and some black person I didn’t know came and laid their head on me. We both just laid there in piece waiting for the arguing to stop. I yelled out to the people arguing and I said I’m done with everyone. Then I woke up

Dream

I had a dream turned into a nightmare. In this dream, I was walking in a peculiar supermarket with my mom. The shelves were several hundreds of feet high filled with all kinds of colorful produce and the store itself had to be the size of five walmarts. The store itself was packed with all kinds of people rushing around to get food. I was at the front of the empty shopping cart scrolling on my phone and looking around the store. I looked back at my mom was at the back talking on her phone pushing the cart then turned my head back ahead. Shortly after I realized I couldn’t hear her anymore she wasnt pushing the cart. I looked back to see what she was doing and she was gone. I tried looking in between people to find her but when I didnt see any trace of her I started to panic. I left the cart and ran, shoved and, squeezed passed the crowd yelling for her. When I still couldn’t find any traces of her I intuitively grabbed a pack of exacto knives and ran into the frozen foods isles and searched in between the shelves inside the fridges and found her in a line of with a few other people surrounded by some men. She was kidnapped into a sex trafficking ring. I busted the door open and the crowd stopped and stared at the people behind the fridges. Suddenly I hear someone profusely apologizing from behind me. I turned around to a guy apologizing and explaining that he “just needed the money” and repeated “sorry” to me over and over. I was so full of rage I tore the three exacto knives from the packaging and yelled at him, “you’re sorry?! You’re sorry?!!” I then shoved him to the floor, straddled him, grabbed his hair and stabbed him in the face. The police came over but didnt stop me. I stabbed him and kept stabbing him even when he wasn’t moving anymore. His blood splashed everywhere and his face became unrecognizable, yet I continued to slash his face until the end of the dream. I woke up from my arm doing the stabbing motion pretty hard and a bit scared of myself.

Dream

I was a high school girl who struggled in school and struggled to pay attention. I was a “troubled” kid who just wanted to be understood. I was close to getting expelled from my high school. I had a twin sister who seemed to have it easy at school. She was popular, got good grades, and had a cute boyfriend. I left school campus to go for a ride on an electric scooter around the city. I remembered that I had to turn in an assignment for a class where the teacher doesn’t like me. I was racing back and borrowed someone’s green electric skateboard to get back. I was with another red headed girl who was late turning in her project as well. I tried asking the teacher to still take my project and she wouldn’t respond to me. She ignored me like I didn’t exist. The other girl slid her project discreetly on the teachers desk. I didnt care much anymore and just left school altogether. Later in the dream I am throwing knives at an enemy. This enemy is a woman who is seeking to harm me. She has a group of people with her and me and my friends and team are throwing knives at them. Some of the knives land and I start to feel safe that she has been defeated. Later in the dream a group of people I assume to be friends are all going into a build a bear shop. I was thinking of doing something else but I ended up goin in behind them anyway. They make big stuffed bears while I go behind the store where there is a field and a class room. On the field there are soccer players. One kid is bouncing the soccer ball on his knee and foot while looking through these futuristic tech looking glasses that make it so you see higher than you normally would. I remember wondering how he sees the ball to keep it up with his knee and foot and that he just must be really good. I follow a “friend” to the classroom and talk to her about Jaylen, my boyfriend. She seems aprehensive given his history

Another dream was me arriving at home. It's a home was not a place I've ever lived before. But it was the home of my ex-husband. I was outside saying I'm home I'm home. But nobody responded. I entered the home in my ex-husband was sitting in the chair. He was not excited to see me. I asked him if he was angry. And he said yes. I said what are you angry about. He said oh a bunch of little things. I never really knew if it was she was angry with me.

Dream

There was a warriors woman who was native to tye planet, her body able to glow at will, and a regular human man who was trying to surviv3 tye planet. The woman trained the man and soon they became close friends. Together, they were planning on saving the woman's little sister, taken by the captain that brought the man to the planet. They both fought viciously with the planets native weapons. The man used two knives connected by a thick, sturdy vine, the woman used a spear with three spikes on the end designed to rip out whatever it grasps. Fighting together in the space craft, they easily won each fight, only killing if absolutely necessary. At the end. They decided to split up, the man going to find the woman's sister, and the woman fighting the captain. The captain sent forth holograms of native animals that could be dangerous if they actually attacked. The woman found out that the best way to defeat them is to rip out their internal hard drive; their hearts. Annoyed, the captain fought her directly and managed to pry the spear from her. He quickly ripped out her heart and grasped it in his hands. It looked like a humans stomach shape-wise, but it glowed the same colors the woman was; green and blue. It slowly faded, though, as she slowly dimmed to a blue-gray color. As soon as he captain entered the room the sister used to be in and found nothing but passed out guards, I woke up.

Dream

The dream I had last night was a recurring dream. One where I find myself in a big shopping mall in Greeley Colorado which is where I went to college in my waking life. Sometimes this mall is a school and this time it was a school. This school had anywhere from kindergarten to college age. I don't know why I was there but I was there rollerblading with some of my friends from high school. We were on the escalators going to the second floor when all of a sudden these gang members started yelling and trying to attack me saying that I had stole from them and I kind of did remember them from a previous dream. So I told my friends to go along and I would handle this. Well this gang stabbed me. They wanted to kill me. I ran and I ran. I hid wherever I could but they seemed to keep catching up with me. Finally they shot me. They shot me down onto the ground. Shot me in the stomach. I didn't know what to do except to try and get up and run and so I ran. And that's all this dream was. Was running, hiding, getting shot, running, hiding, getting shot. I hid in empty classrooms. I hid in bathrooms. I hid in locker rooms. I guess this school kind of transformed into the place where my recurring dream happens. and also this time it was a hospital period. I had finally reached some doctors in a little room which looked like a little emergency room and I ran in there and told them I was bleeding out and they were shooting at me and they're still out there. The doctors tried to lock the door, fix me up, close the windows so that the gang that was chasing me didn't suspect I was in there. Well they found me in there. They pointed their guns inside the room through the top windows and shot everybody including me. I was still alive when I was able to grab one of their knives but they were pointing through the window and stabbed them all in the head. Where it's a school and a shopping mall but always in Greeley, Colorado. My mom was there too and I was upset at her for parking the car clear across the school campus when I had finally made it out of the school. She was there to pick me up and I thought she was going to be right there at that door but no. She parked way across the way. Now we had to walk there. And those kids were still chasing me. Those gang members were still chasing me. I was upset at her and I yelled at her. But despite being parked so far away from the school, I was able to escape those team members that were trying to kill me.
