Sharpening a knife in a dream is the mind preparing to divide or to speak with a newfound precision. The brain uses this repetitive, focused motion to rehearse the precision required to address a conflict or to finalize a boundary that has become blunt.
This process of honing an edge suggests that the dreamer is moving toward a state of clarity where words or actions can be applied with exactness. A certain tension exists in the readiness for such a split, as the mind prepares for the impact of what must be said or done. The sharpening builds a capability for an exact and contained resolution.
For its more general meaning: Dream about knives
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.
