Murder in a dream: meaning

What dream books say

Dreams of murder are not a forecast and say nothing about who you are. Dream books read them as a strong wish to end something — a habit, a role, a feeling — or as anger that has not found words. Witnessing a murder is read as watching something end around you, or feeling helpless about a conflict. Being the victim is taken as feeling that a part of you is being silenced or pushed aside. Solving a murder is read as searching for the cause of a problem. Hiding a murder is read as guilt or a secret weighing on you. These dreams are common in times of change, and calmly asking what is ending can help.
