Killing an octopus in a dream occurs when the mind works to cut off a grasping reach that has taken hold too firmly in waking life. This process occurs when the brain seeks to resolve a situation where multiple, moving parts are pulling in different directions, making it difficult to find a stable center. The termination of such a creature works to pin down a specific tension so that it no longer spreads across the whole of a person’s internal life.
The dream is a way of practicing how to end a complex and suffocating entanglement. By focusing on the termination of this multi-limbed force, the sleeping mind rehearses the act of reclaiming boundaries that have been overstepped. This can reveal a sudden awareness of where energy is being drained by complicated, overlapping obligations or connections. While the struggle within the dream may feel intense, it indicates a movement toward clarity by removing the confusion of many simultaneous pressures. The dreamer finds a way to stop the spread of a complicating influence.

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.
