What does it mean to dream about cutting up a person's body?

Answer 1

It means you don't like that person very much. Violent actions (stabbing, slicing, cutting, shooting, bludgeoning) perpetrated against another in a dream usually indicates extreme dislike/hatred toward the individual.

Some believe mutilation/killing (and other acts of violence) in dreams can actually prevent real-life altercations with the individual dreamed about. In other words, the satisfaction (if any) gained through the act in the dream, is realized physically/emotionally in the wakened state.

Answer 2

Dreams use overly dramatic metaphors and exaggerated images to express emotions. Often these are feelings that you don't realize you have deep inside, or things you have been taught you "shouldn't feel." For example, when a little children are angry, they are told not to hit or scream or kick. If no healthy outlet is provided to express those "naughty" feelings, they get stuffed into the subconscious mind, then surface as nightmares.

> In this particular dream, there seems to be anger turned inward toward yourself, or some sort of emotional pain symbolized by burning and cutting. Instead of inflicting this pain onto your own image, your mind provides someone else to experience the pain.

it means you remember something horrible

Answer 3

The disturbing images of this dream might be nothing more than a literal depiction of several common expressions. We often refer to a jokester as a "cut up." People "cut the cheese," or say, "cut it out!" to those who do. So this could be a pun or word play set into a dream.

Answer 4

It does not mean that you want to harm another person. You are dealing with some personal conflicts and you may fear that the conflicts, personal from your perspective, are becoming known or are suspected by others. You are torn about dealing with these conflicts openly.

Answer 5

Science tends to believe that dreams have no meaning, they're just made up by your imagination, however, maybe if you've been seeing some films in which it happened frequently lately, you yourself don't think about it too much, but you mind might just. Another reason is that you're crazy and wish to chop people up, in that case, people can help you get rid of it...

Answer 6

Dreams typically exaggerate and over-dramatize the dreamer's thoughts and emotions as a cathartic means of releasing emotional tension and stress. This dream reflects real anger that may not have any other outlet. You might be wise to have more honest communication with "her" so that you can release this anger in ways that are more effective and less extreme.

Answer 7

This dream suggests that the dreamer has a great deal of suppressed (unconscious) anger. The dream represents the mind's effort to express that anger in order to relieve emotional tension.
