A murderer in a dream is read symbolically, as a force that ends something — a relationship, a phase, a part of the self. Tradition takes it as fear, or as the wish for something to stop, and never as a literal threat. Being chased by a murderer is read as running from a problem that feels deadly serious. Being the murderer yourself is taken as anger or a wish to cut something out of your life. A murderer you know is read as tension or distrust towards that person. A faceless murderer reflects anxiety without a clear source. It can help to ask what in your life feels as if it threatens your peace.
When this appeared in your dream, what were you feeling?
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.
