What does it mean when you have reoccuring dreams about your brother stabbing you with a knife?

Answer 1

This dream could have different meanings depending on what sort of relationship you have with your brother; if you are close friends and care a lot about each other or whether you have had disagreements and barely speak to each other. One possibility is that your brother in the dream is a symbolic representation of yourself, and his being stabbed expresses your own pain or anxiety about something terrible that might happen in the future. In this case, the dream will continue to recur until you identify the emotional pain in yourself or potential danger and resolve it in real life.

> On the other hand, the dream might represent your own hurtful behavior toward your brother. It could be your mind's way of showing you how your words or behavior have hurt your brother. In this case, you need to make things right with your brother by apologizing or mending your relationship before the dream will stop repeating.

Answer 2

The dreams bring to mind the common expression, "stabbed in the back," which means betrayal by a trusted person. The dreams suggest that the dreamer feels betrayed in some way by the brother, OR by someone who is in a brotherly relationship to the dreamer.
