Dream about carrying a knife

Carrying a knife in a dream is the mind working through a pending mental or verbal separation. This image is a rehearsal for a moment where a clear, sharp distinction must be made between two ideas or two paths. The mind uses the symbol to prepare for the necessity of an edge that can part one thing from another.

The dreamer experiences a state of readiness for a definitive shift in thought or expression. This process involves the internal sharpening of a position that has remained blunt or undecided. There is a risk that this mental preparation carries a quality of harshness, as the impulse to divide can easily turn into a tendency toward wounding speech. Readiness for a clean break provides a grounding for the current period of transition.

The act of holding a knife in a dream moves the focus from the presence of a tool to the intent behind it. The dreamer moves from awareness of a boundary to the internal bracing required to cross or create it.

When someone else is seen holding a knife in a dream, the weight of the division is moved outside the self. The dreamer perceives a threat of sharp words or a sudden change in a relationship that originates from another source.

This is very interesting and very true. I ended my relationship just after this dream and now I have time to work on my spiritual growth. Thank you for that interpretation.

Thanks for your answer. Am I to be worried about the dark theme of this dream? Many of my dreams have this recurrent theme, as well as the sorcerer/powers/conjuring spirits elements.

Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.

I dream arranging the machetes and the one in lost I keep on searching on it

Owen SterlingInterpreter

Dear Develyn,
Dream about searching for a lost machete stands for opinions, pursuit and feelings. This dream signals you are just going along with the flow, without voicing your own opinions and views. Someone or something is in pursuit of you. You are hesitant in letting others in and revealing your feelings.
