What does it mean when you dream that someone is trying to kill you?

Answer 1

When you dream that you are running away from someone who is trying to kill you, it shows the emotions that you are currently experience. Your dream show that you are trying to avoid a situation in your waking life with another person. This happens when your subconscious is using the person as a metaphor

Answer 2

This dream expresses the dreamer's fears, exaggerating and over-dramatizing those fears. Often "killing" symbolizes anger, and could represent the dreamer's anger at one's own self.

If this is a recurring dream, then it possibly means you subconsciously feel threatened in some way, such as worry about a relationship, your job, money, family problems, problems at work, etc.

Dreams are the brain's way of sorting through and 'filing' our emotions, problems, events, etc., and our subconscious way of dealing with them. Give some serious thought to the things going on in your life, and you will probably be able to understand what it is that you are worried about, even on a subconscious level. Once you can identify that, the dreams should stop.

Answer 3

It means that you are afraid that someone is going to hurt you.

The dream suggests that the dreamer does not feel safe in some situation in real life. The fear could refer to physical, emotional or any other type of harm.

Answer 4

The dream only means that you feel threatened by some situation. It might reflect your fear of an actual person, but it is more likely to illustrate your discomfort in a situation that feels threatening such as a new job or unfamiliar assignment.

Answer 5

It means that you have some kind of fear from someone in your sub-conscious or you are getting from the depression phase and solution to this is that you better don't bother much about your dream and try to be happy in your daily life.

Another response:

It is not unusual for the subconscious mind to use dreams to draw attention to problems that a person may not be consciously aware of. Dream can alert us to important issues that we would rather ignore. This seems to be one of that kind of dream. There may be more clues in your dream that will help you identify just what the problem might be.

If there was simply a vague feeling in the dream that someone was trying to kill you, you could think about your life to see whether changes are taking place or perhaps being considered. The subconscious often uses death as a metaphor for change: one part of life coming to an end, and a new life beginning.

But if there was a specific person in the dream who threatened you, that helps in interpretation. If the person was the same gender as you, then it is very likely that one part of yourself feels threatened by another part of yourself. A simple example: if you have just begun a strict weight-loss diet, your food-loving self might feel that your strict disciplined self is trying to "kill" all your fun!

Maybe you're fearing something.

For example, you may fear that your co-worker might have gotten the position you wanted or something of that nature.The "killing" is an exaggerated metaphor that can represent any sort of hostility, or opposing feelings about you. It only means you have a fear of something negative happening and it has been in your mind recently.

Answer 6

Dreams are the mind's way of 'filing' away events of the day, thoughts, things you see during the course of a day, conversations, movies you watch, books, wishes, fears, etc. And, while most dreams don't mean a thing, a recurring dream can have meaning. If you have recurring dreams that someone is trying to kill you, it doesn't necessarily mean your life is in danger, but often means you feel threatened in some aspect of your life, even on a subconscious level. For example, you may feel you are in jeopardy of losing your job or won't get the promotion you want, or you may feel your marriage is on the rocks, or afraid your home will go into foreclosure, etc.

There are so many areas of our lives that we all worry about at times, so you need to give it a lot of thought and try to figure out what you may be worrying about. Once you can identify the fear, the recurring dreams will usually go away.

Answer 7

Something bad is going to happen to your day.. it's better to be careful and pray so that everything would turn out fine.

Dreams work through metaphor and symbolic images. They are also overly dramatic and exaggerated. This dream might be a literal image of a common expression such as, "My dad would kill me" or "Chocolate to die for." No one takes these expressions as literal threats, but when producing dreams, the subconscious mind pictures them quite literally. So this particular dream might refer to some argument or disagreement the dreamer has had, or to a teacher or bully who is "out to kill me," or any number of similar less-than-deadly situations.

Answer 8

In dreams, being killed represents the end of some part or time of life and the beginning of something new. The person killing you might represent yourself or the factor that compels you to accept change. Other details in this particular dream, such as your location, other people, and most importantly, what you feel as the dream occurs, may provide more hints as to what the change might be that the dream describes.

Answer 9

This type of dream is often caused by fears or past trauma. You may fear others may kill you or fear you might do it to another. Or more metaphorically, you may feel that your parents or a lover may have killed a part of what you once were. Sometimes recent events or entertainment such as Horror movies will cause violent dreams.
