What dose it mean when your child gets murdered in a dream?

Answer 1

Parents often use exaggerated expressions. For instance, a frustrated mother might say, "You kids are killing me!" In dreams, the subconscious mind will portray such expressions literally. So you might dream of your own kids shooting you, when the reality is that you are simply tired and frustrated and need a break.

From a different perspective, the people and things that appear in dreams frequently are symbols representing something else. In your dream, the children could represent a part of yourself. So the dream could be a message from your subconscious mind, telling you that you are doing something that is harming yourself. It could be something as obvious as substance abuse or smoking.

Answer 2

This dream follows a classic story line, as ancient as the tale of Cain and Abel. Probably the best way to view the dream would be to consider it a metaphor in which each kid symbolizes some part of the dreamer's own life. These two areas of life are in conflict - for example, the dreamer might be experiencing pressure to spend more time at work, which causes difficulty with family life. Or one's obligations at church might conflict with one's need to travel to visit elderly parents. Financial obligations can set up similar conflicts, when one much choose whether to spend money to repair the car or to pay for education or medical expenses. Each "kid" represents something of enormous value, yet they each present conflicting needs and demands.
