A blade is read as cutting — a sharp word, a clean decision, a tie being severed. Tradition also takes it as anger looking for a form. Holding a knife points to power you can use to protect or to separate, while being threatened with one is read as feeling vulnerable to someone’s words or intentions. A kitchen knife used for cooking is gentler, taken as preparing and dividing what nourishes you. A dull or broken knife suggests a decision you cannot quite carry out. Dream books read the knife symbolically, never as a hint of harm.
Where in your waking life have you met something like this lately?
My Cosmic Code has a private dream journal. Write a dream down and the app picks out the symbols in it, shows what dream books say about them and, over time, which words recur across your entries. The journal is stored on your device only.
