Dreaming About Killing someone
Anger given a shape, not a wish
This is one of the most distressing dreams to wake from and one of the most misread. It is not treated as a wish, nor as a sign of what a person is capable of. The standard reading is anger given a shape, or something being forcibly ended — a role, a habit, a tie you have decided is over. Reports rise during conflict the dreamer is not expressing.
What happened in yours?
The variation matters more than the symbol. These are the ones people report most.
Killing in self-defence
Read as a boundary being enforced, and commonly reported after standing up to someone.
Killing someone you know well
Usually taken as ending what they represent to you, rather than as feeling towards them.
Hiding a body or fearing discovery
Associated with a secret or an omission, and with the effort of keeping something out of view.
Feeling nothing afterwards
Read as detachment that already exists in waking life, which is the part worth noticing.
Tell someone the whole dream
Waking guilt after one of these is normal and is not a verdict on you. The useful question is who or what you have recently decided is finished, and whether you have said so out loud.
A page can only describe the symbol. Describe the actual dream — what happened, how it felt, what was going on in your life that week — and a reader will interpret it for you. Your first answer is free.
