Being stabbed is an important dream symbol in regards to social interactions. The meaning of dream about stabbing is usually related to your social life. Any dream dictionary will tell you that one of the most commonly considered themes for dreams regarding stabbing is the idea of being stabbed in the back. Being stabbed in the back is such a culturally iconic phrase, that when something negative happens to us, or we feel betrayed, it is possible to have a dream reaction that involves us being stabbed in the back. Has someone broken a promise to you, or done something that they swore they wouldn't just to hurt you? Then you may be having dreams about being stabbed.
Some dream meanings of being stabbed also relate it to a feeling of inadequacy. You have not been up to par lately, or there is someone out there that you think is better than you. It is because of emotions and feelings like these that you may find yourself being stabbed in the dream world. This is just one possible dream interpretation for being stabbed though.
Another dream meaning entirely set apart from the rest is more related to you doing the stabbing. If you are the one that is stabbing someone else in the dream, this could be because you have been recalling malicious thoughts about them recently. A dream like this should serve as a warning to control your temper in the future. There are other dream interpretations of this action though, such as the idea that stabbing recalls your competitive streak. If the person that you are stabbing in your dream is someone you recognize, then you may be seeing yourself stabbing them because of how competitive you feel towards them. Noticing dream symbols such as this is a great way of making sure to keep your competitive streak in check in the waking world.
If what you see is from an entirely different perspective, such as you witnessing someone you know or love being stabbed in a dream, this recalls feelings of powerlessness, and also shows that you have some deep seated fear for this person. Perhaps they are going to do something soon that you believe will put them in danger. You are probably having this dream as a way of coping with that. The dream is letting you know that you are still afraid of what will happen to your loved one.
One final interpretation of a stabbing dream is that if you are the one stabbing someone else, then you feel betrayed, and the dream is you overcoming your feelings of betrayal by getting back at the person. This interpretation only works of course if the person being stabbed is someone that you know or are related to. Otherwise, this does not make much sense. Stabbing can be a very serious sign that something is going wrong in your life, or that you fear that something will go wrong. At the same time it could simply be a petty jealous feeling. All of this can be determined through a little bit of reflection.
I had a dream last night. I dreamed that I was running through a neighborhood because I was being chased. My attacker caught up to me when I tried getting into a house and spun me around. I realized that it was my ex boyfriend that was chasing me. In my dream, he proceeded to stab me in the stomach over and over and he cut my wrists open…I woke up right after and have been freaked out since.

I was in my room and i was dreaming trying to figure out a way of locking my door to not be invaded but a bit later, a band i like, broke in and started stabbing me in my ribs multiple times. Irl I actually purchased a ticket the same day to see them in concert, don't know if this is relevant. Anyway, I remember my roommate being in the house but didn't see any sign of her. I was screaming super loud to get help and i was screaming out people's names so they could be contacted. I remember hearing people calling for help. Then suddenly the men weren't there but i was still screaming for help. Idk what happened to the men, they just disappeared but i only remember screaming still. Then cops arrived and saved me. I woke up crying and scared.

Dreams where you feel attacked or threatened, especially by something or someone familiar and generally positive (like a favorite band), can be particularly unsettling. This dream might reflect underlying anxiety or feelings of vulnerability in your waking life. Here are some aspects to consider for interpreting this dream:
1. Locking the Door: The attempt to lock your door suggests a desire for security or protection in your personal space or life. This action indicates a need to keep out unwanted influences or feelings. It might relate to boundary-setting issues in your waking life or an overarching need for more control over your personal environment or relationships.
2. Band Attacking: The band, a group you likely associate with enjoyment and excitement, turning violent could symbolize a betrayal or unexpected negativity from a usually trusted source. Given that you bought a ticket to see them on the same day, it might also reflect subconscious fears about new experiences or the anxiety of venturing into a socially intense setting like a concert.
3. Roommate's Absence and Calls for Help: Your roommate's presence in the house yet absence during the attack might symbolize feelings of isolation or abandonment in a time of need. Screaming for help and hearing calls without immediate assistance reflects feelings of vulnerability and desperation. This could relate to an experience where you felt unsupported or unheard.
4. Disappearance of the Men and Arrival of the Police: The aggressors in your dream disappearing without explanation might represent unresolved issues or conflicts in your life. These problems might seem to disappear but could resurface if not properly addressed. The arrival of the police represents authority and rescue, symbolizing a desire for external intervention to restore safety or order in your life.
5. Emotional Response (Crying, Scared): Waking up with intense emotions reflects the deep impact of the underlying issues or fears manifesting in your dream. It's a sign that these themes carry significant emotional weight for you, and addressing them consciously could be beneficial.
What to do: - Reflect on areas of your life where you might be feeling vulnerable, anxious, or unguarded. Consider if there are steps you can take to reinforce your emotional or physical safety. - Evaluate your relationships to see if there are any dynamics where you feel unsupported or betrayed and think about ways to address or communicate these feelings. - Given the intensity of the dream, if such dreams are frequent and intensely distressful, it might be helpful to speak to a professional counselor or psychologist who can provide support in exploring and addressing these emotions.
Understanding and addressing the root of these anxieties reflected in your dreams can lead to improved emotional wellbeing and increased feelings of security in your waking life.

I just had this dream a few secs ago.
I was in my backyard with a friend of mine from school. Let's say his name is Matt. Matt and I are chilling on the very tall backyard fence that surrounds my houses, much like every other house in the neighborhood. Suddenly I spot an ugly looking being a few houses down. It starts running to us and we jump over the fence to get away. We eventually reach his house and run into his kitchen. When I get there, Matt disappears and I see my brother. He tells me the only way to get rid of the monster is to stab it. The monster is back, and it's obvious it's targeting me. I yell at him to go get scissors and he leaves. I keep running up and down the kitchen, narrowly escaping the monster. My brother eventually comes back with the scissors and my mother. I yell at my mom to stay back. My brother is trying to give me the scissors, but the monster is getting in the way. I finally get them and open them, and they seems to have a third blade going down the middle. My mom comes to me and tries to yank them away, but I have trouble telling her it's not safe. The monster is still in the kitchen and I'm still in this moment fighting it off. Suddenly it's like I know this isn't real and I squirm to wake up.
All the people in my dream are real people in my life. My brother and mother live with me at home and we are all really close. My dad as well but he wasn't in the dream. My friend Matt has been going to school with me since 4th grade. We live in the same bus and used to take the school bus together every morning and afternoon until 8thgrade. I'm kinda confused as to why he would be in it, bc that's totally random. Any thoughts?

Let’s consider some of the elements of your dream:
1. The Backyard and Tall Fence: These elements may symbolize familiar territory and boundaries, respectively. Being in your backyard with a friend suggests a space that’s normally safe or comforting, while the tall fence could represent limits or barriers in your life.
2. The Monster/Being: Monsters in dreams often symbolize internal fears, anxieties, or struggles. The fact that it's targeting you might indicate personal challenges or issues that you feel are specifically threatening or concerning you right now.
3. The Chase: Being pursued in a dream often reflects a feeling of stress or an issue in waking life that you feel you can't escape from. It could also mirror feelings of vulnerability or a sense of being overwhelmed.
4. Matt's Disappearance and Your Brother's Appearance: Friends or acquaintances showing up in dreams might not always have a deep significance; they could simply be a result of recent interactions, memories resurfacing, or they could be stand-ins for certain qualities you associate with them. Your brother replacing Matt might signify a shift in the dream from a less serious atmosphere to one involving family and more personal stakes.
5. Stabbing the Monster: Your brother's advice to stab the monster suggests action against a threat, possibly indicating a need to confront issues head-on rather than avoid them. Scissors with a third blade might symbolize a solution that isn't straightforward or a tool/strategy that you're trying to figure out how to use correctly.
6. Your Mother's Involvement: Your mother trying to take the scissors could signify your perception of her protective instincts or perhaps a disconnect between how you want to handle a problem versus her approach.
7. Lucidity and Waking Up: Realizing within the dream that it's not real suggests an emerging awareness or lucidity. Your attempt to wake up might mirror an instinct to retreat from difficult situations when they seem too overwhelming or bizarre.
Considering the above points, it seems that the dream could be a reflection of your subconscious working through issues of anxiety, stress, or confrontations that may require action or decision-making in real life. The family and safety themes seem strong, with the potential threat (the monster) and the protective yet confusing actions of your family.

So to start off the story I was dreaming, and I woke up in the middle of a forest fire, in a specific open area and this shadowy figure that represented a feminine body was standing above me. I couldn’t move my body at all and by the time I blinked the shadow figure was crouched above me holding a flaming arrow, I could suddenly move my arms and I tried to keep her from pushing the arrow into my chest but it wasn’t enough. It eventually went through my chest entirely and I jolted awake. Surprised I remember the dream to this day since it was around 2017-2018 but it scarred me a little bit and I still haven’t told a single person about it.

I dream I'm walking through the woods. I see an arrow and pick it up and continue walking. At some point, I trip and fall and the arrow goes into my stomach. I am able to walk a little farther but then I fall again and die.

I dreamed that my younger sister stabbed my mother with all these knives from the kitchen and that my mother was crying in pain and in dream I gently took the knives out and started to carry mother away from my younger sister so she could not hurt mother anymore. My mother had passed away September 29, 2020. What does this dream mean exactly? :/

Hey, so I just woke up from a dream and I had a dream where I was just standing in my cousins living room for some reason. And then a random girl who is supposed to be my sisters friend. The girl told me to look behind me. So I did and she told me to stay there. I heard whispering so I turned back . My sister was gonna stab me with scissors. But instead I grabbed her scissors and I almost stabbed her in the chest. I stabbed her a little hole but not all the way. Then my hand was moving slowly and I dropped the scissors and I started crying. I really don’t get this dream. Is my sister gonna betray me but I’m gonna betray her back? But why was she gonna stab me with scissors? Why not a knife?

SO basically I just woke up from this dream a few minutes ago and I'm kinda really freaked out by it- Ok so I was in class at a school I didn't recognize, (but that's not the important part) and I hid in a closet because I didn't feel like trying to pay attention, and these two people, a guy that i sort of know, and a girl that I didn't recognize, walked in. They both said something to the effect of "Why are you here, this is our hideout?" Etc etc, and the scenery changed, and they soon left. I waited there until the end of the day and then, thinking back to the guy and the girl, I had the strange reaction to kill them. I think I stabbed the guy 18 times and the girl 7 and somehow they were still alive, and then I started feeling guilty so I stabbed myself? I don't remember how many times, just that I kept stabbing until I was dead. I've tried to find the meaning behind it because I'm really not usually the violent type and I can't find anything that resonates with me.

I had a dream and all I can remember is the police person being called to my house they came and tried to shoot me in my kitchen, but the garden door which was usually on the left, was on the right. It was night time so right before he grabbbed his gun, I grabbed some scissors and told him Somethingbalong the lines of: “if you want to kill me then do it.” They were so traumatised they just stared at me I fear and stayed in a mid crouch next to the kitchen door as I grabbed my kitchen knife and stabbed my brother in the head. I couldn’t really get the knife through and it was hard to take out of his head so I ran outside and his behind the green bin. My dad came out sweeping the outside of the house which he never does and he just smiled at me. And then I was inside the house with my mother and sister said “don’t worry your dad is waiting for you” then I woke up like wtf just happened 😳 I do hate my brother but killing him is something I wouldn’t do so does this mean I’ll die?

I had a dream last night in which I was playing Call of Duty Black Ops II (on Hijacked) with my brother, and I was pretty bad (like in real life) and I was only killing the enemies with the knife. After killing 3 or 4 of them there was a sudden change in my dream, I wasn’t playing the game no more, I was in a street holding a big kitchen knife trying to kill a guy but he was only dodging my hits he never tried to fight. At sum point he couldn’t back off anymore because there was a fence and a bench behind him and he sat on the bench. I wanted to stop chasing him but I felt like I was forced to. I tried to stab him like the characters do in the game but he only got a slight scratch on the arm, then I looked away and stabbed harder around the heart area, and I felt very sad, upset and disgusted, but I don’t know if he died because I didn’t look at him. Then I threw the knife on the ground and I woke up.

On our way there we had a couple stops , as we get out of one store my 10 year old child finds a nail on the floor and tries to stab me with it in my neck ( he is a really sweet loving caring , soft would never hurt anyone in life) I get the nail away from him , then he finds a pencils and he also talking and acting like a devil took over him as he also has anger and tears no control of his words or actions , we arrive near my aunts I parked the car further to try to control my child , my son stabbed me in my neck at that point I fake going into a hug shock , body shaking and twisting to scare him . After 3-4 min of acting dead , I “wake up “ look back and my son currently is holding a steak knife from our house I look at him in the eyes , he put a finger on his mouth and said shhhhh and points to his private part being stabbed . All I could say is what the f**k , why ?? And I look back at my aunts house and my ex stepfather was standing in front of the door of the house calling our black dog Bella back home but she been dead for a long time and I look back at my son and start the car rush to the hospital and I woke up !!

I was dreaming of being in a room with just my sister, and i had a knife. I stabbed her but there wasn't any blood or anything like that, she didn't cry or anything just kept making this one noise, and i got scared so i said turn around to her and i kept stabbing her back to see if i could just kill her so she doesn't have to feel the pain. I woke up and started crying, i also walked to her bed because we share the same room and she was fine. I don't know why i dreamed about that but i never want to dream about it again

1. Locking the Door: The attempt to lock your door suggests a desire for security or protection in your personal space or life. This action indicates a need to keep out unwanted influences or feelings. It might relate to boundary-setting issues in your waking life or an overarching need for more control over your personal environment or relationships.
2. Band Attacking: The band, a group you likely associate with enjoyment and excitement, turning violent could symbolize a betrayal or unexpected negativity from a usually trusted source. Given that you bought a ticket to see them on the same day, it might also reflect subconscious fears about new experiences or the anxiety of venturing into a socially intense setting like a concert.
3. Roommate's Absence and Calls for Help: Your roommate's presence in the house yet absence during the attack might symbolize feelings of isolation or abandonment in a time of need. Screaming for help and hearing calls without immediate assistance reflects feelings of vulnerability and desperation. This could relate to an experience where you felt unsupported or unheard.
4. Disappearance of the Men and Arrival of the Police: The aggressors in your dream disappearing without explanation might represent unresolved issues or conflicts in your life. These problems might seem to disappear but could resurface if not properly addressed. The arrival of the police represents authority and rescue, symbolizing a desire for external intervention to restore safety or order in your life.

Your brother replacing Matt might signify a shift in the dream from a less serious atmosphere to one involving family and more personal stakes.
5. Stabbing the Monster: Your brother's advice to stab the monster suggests action against a threat, possibly indicating a need to confront issues head-on rather than avoid them. Scissors with a third blade might symbolize a solution that isn't straightforward or a tool/strategy that you're trying to figure out how to use correctly.
6. Your Mother's Involvement: Your mother trying to take the scissors could signify your perception of her protective instincts or perhaps a disconnect between how you want to handle a problem versus her approach.
7. Lucidity and Waking Up: Realizing within the dream that it's not real suggests an emerging awareness or lucidity. Your attempt to wake up might mirror an instinct to retreat from difficult situations when they seem too overwhelming or bizarre.
Considering the above points, it seems that the dream could be a reflection of your subconscious working through issues of anxiety, stress, or confrontations that may require action or decision-making in real life. The family and safety themes seem strong, with the potential threat (the monster) and the protective yet confusing actions of your family.
As I woke up I still felt it as my breathing was uneasy too
Me and my best friend and child where on our way to my aunts house as per what it seemed ( she never went ) . On our way there we had a couple stops , as we get out of one store my 10 year old child finds a nail on the floor and tries to stab me with it in my neck ( he is a really sweet loving caring , soft would never hurt anyone in life) I get the nail away from him , then he finds a pencils and he also talking and acting like a devil took over him as he also has anger and tears no control of his words or actions , we arrive near my aunts I parked the car further to try to control my child , my son stabbed me in my neck at that point I fake going into a hug shock , body shaking and twisting to scare him . After 3-4 min of acting dead , I “wake up “ look back and my son currently is holding a steak knife from our house I look at him in the eyes , he put a finger on his mouth and said shhhhh and points to his private part being stabbed . All I could say is what the f**k , why ?? And I look back at my aunts house and my ex stepfather was standing in front of the door of the house calling our black dog Bella back home but she been dead for a long time and I look back at my son and start the car rush to the hospital and I woke up !!
