Owen SterlingKilling a butterfly occurs when the mind meets the sudden end of a lightness. This dream works to sort through the way a grace was being lived or expected.
The act of extinguishing such a lightness often points to a moment where a person recognizes their own role in dampening ease. There is a realization that a capacity for simple delight is being suppressed or cut short by a current way of being. This realization brings a weight of awareness regarding how easily a delicate state can be lost. The dreamer finds that the capacity for joy remains, even if the current experience of it has been disrupted.
Killing butterflies suggests that the dream is dealing with a broader sense of many small, passing joys being lost rather than a single event. This expands the meaning to a more general feeling that the capacity for frequent, brief delights is being compromised.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
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.
