Dreaming about Someone Trying to Kill me (Spiritual)

Dreams speak to us about several things.

Therefore, we should not take them for granted.

One of the scariest dreams we can have is about someone trying to kill us. Whenever we have this dream, it does not necessarily mean that someone wants us dead.

In this article, we will discuss the different spiritual meanings of this dream, and how it affects our lives entirely.

What does it mean when you Dream of Someone trying to kill you?

Spiritually, whenever someone tries to kill you in a dream, it means that you are fearful about an incident.

The bible says that fear is a killer. Therefore, fear can take on the form of a man and try to kill you in a dream.

Seeing this scary event in dreams talks about the inner fears you have.

This fear might be based on accepting the reality of change, relocating to a new environment, or starting a new business.

Fear can be caused by several factors.

In addition to this, one of the things that breed fear is the limit we have placed on ourselves. All of these will take the form of a man and spiritually try to kill you in a dream.

Apart from this, you will dream of someone trying to kill you when your mind is trying to play tricks on you.

Yes, your mind can try to play tricks on you. However, before this happens, there are certain physical things you would have done:

• Suspecting someone around you as evil.
• Fearful of falling into the hands of the wrong people. 
• Skepticism about sharing your secrets with people.

Once all of these are present in the physical, you will most likely have dreams about someone trying to kill you. This is your mind simply playing tricks on you to make you believe that people are after you. 

Meaning of Dreaming with Someone that wants to kill me

Anytime you dream of someone wanting to kill you, the first spiritual meaning talks about fear. I have outlined this earlier, but it is pertinent to talk about this right here as well.

Your fear can become real.

It can become a personality, which haunts you at every given opportunity. It tries to cripple you, eliminate your confidence, and keep you stuck in the same spot.

This is why you are having this dream.

Now, what is the universe saying about this? It is saying that you should not allow your fears to hold you down. It is inspiring you to be confident enough to face your fears head-on. 

Spiritually, dreaming of someone that wants to kill you means that you are scared of dying young.

That is, you don’t desire to die at a young age, but you feel like it is going to happen eventually.

Now, this dream is not a confirmation of your fears. It is the opposite. The universe is using this message to correct your mindset. 

You will dream about someone trying to kill you because people are after you. Once this dream becomes constant, it is not a good sign.

It is an indication that people are trying to bring you down – not kill you physically, but destroy all the things you have built over the years.

11 Spiritual Meanings of Dreaming about Someone trying to Kill me

Every time you dream about someone trying to kill you, it does not mean that someone wants you dead. 11 spiritual meanings can be gotten from this dream.

The event in the dream, the type of weapon, and the gender of the person are enough factors to consider while trying to get the interpretation.

Therefore, let us look into the different spiritual meanings of this dream, and what it says concerning your life.

1) You are not in control of your life

Dreaming about someone trying to kill you spiritually means that you are not in control of your life.

This dream is only a reflection of the things that happen to you in the physical world.

• It speaks about your lack of control in the physical.
• It reveals how you have allowed people to take control of your life.
• It speaks about how you judge your worth based on people’s perceptions of you, and you are always fearful that they might describe you negatively.

All of these are the spiritual meanings of having this dream.

Once you dream of someone trying to kill you, it reveals your lack of control and encourages you to take full control and responsibility for your life.

2) You have become too obsessed with other people’s issues

Whenever you dream of someone trying to drown you in a flowing river, it says that you have allowed other people’s issues to choke you.

Now, caring for people is not bad.

However, you need to strike the balance. You need to understand that people will never stop having issues, and they will consistently run to you for help when they know that you have a tender heart.

This does not mean they are bad, but it is not healthy for you.

Stop becoming too obsessed with other people’s issues at the expense of your well-being. This dream is telling you to pay attention to your life much more.

3) Someone is forcing you to reveal your secret

This is a special message from the universe. I love this message because of how specific and clear it is.

Now, if you dream of someone trying to kill you with a knife, it means that one of your friends or relatives is trying to force you to reveal your deepest secret.

In some cases, you will know the culprit because the face of the intended killer will be seen in the dream.

Spiritually, a knife is a surgical object that can reveal the inner desires and secrets of people.

Therefore, someone trying to kill you with a knife is forcing you to reveal your secret. The universe is saying NO. That is, don’t reveal those secrets because the person does not mean you well.

4) Change your habits

Spiritually, death symbolizes change, regeneration, and rebirth.

Whenever you dream of your wife or girlfriend trying to kill you, it means that there are some attitudes and habits you need to change.

She has been talking about this for long, but you have turned deaf ears.

Now is the time to listen.

This is why she is trying to kill you in the dream.

The dream has nothing to do with having evil plans for you. It only talks about her desire to see a positive change in your habits and attitudes towards her.

5) You are making a wrong decision

Anytime you see a masked person trying to kill you with a stick, this means that you are making the wrong decision.

This dream can come while sleeping, or as a flash vision.

However, when it comes, ensure to reflect on your past decisions, and rescind the wrong ones. If you find it hard to know the right or wrong decisions, pray for clarity.

Once you identify and change the wrong decision, this dream would stop.

6) Fear of someone

This is a funny one. The reason for my assertion is linked to my childhood memories.

I remember dreaming about my dad trying to kill me. I told my aunt about it, who was well-versed in spirituality (I learned a lot from her), and she said that I was only afraid of my dad.

While writing this article, the scenario came back to my mind, and it made me laugh.

Whenever you dream of someone trying to kill you, it means that you are scared of the person you saw.

This dream will clearly show the face of the person, and you will find yourself running away from such.

Once you see this, it reveals your hidden fear about the person in your dream.

7) You are reaping the reward of betrayal

If you have ever stabbed someone in the back before, dreaming of someone trying to kill you is a direct message from the spiritual realm that the reward of your betrayal has come.

This reward has nothing to do with physical death.

The image in the dream simply came to deliver this message. 

8) Your conscience is eating you up

This is another message to people that have betrayed another person.

Whenever you dream of someone (your ex, friend, or family member) trying to kill you, it is believed to be a sign that your conscience is eating you up.

The reason for this is that you have done such an individual great harm in the past, and you are feeling bad for what you did.

This is why you keep having dreams of someone trying to kill you.

9) You feel vulnerable

Anytime you feel exposed and vulnerable, your soul can create an image of someone trying to kill you.

This is not meant to scare you, but to reveal the state of your energy level.

Whenever you dream of someone trying to kill you, it means that your defenses are down.

It indicates that your energy levels are low, and you are vulnerable to spiritual attacks.

10) Insecurity or low self-esteem

If you dream of someone trying to kill you from behind, this is a clear indication of having low self-esteem.

Why should the person try to kill you from behind when he has a weapon? He is trying to kill you from behind because he is scared of being seen.

All of these are signs of insecurities in real life, and this describes your mindset.

This dream reveals that you are not confident in your ability to accomplish anything worthwhile.

The universe has given you this dream to warn you about this. 

11) Betrayal

If you dream of 4 people trying to kill you from behind, it reveals the negative intentions of your friends.

This is saying that your friends are planning to stab you from the back.

The spiritual realm has decided to reveal this dream to you to help you.

Once you get this message, begin to avoid them, and be very skeptical of their words to you. 

Why did I dream about someone trying to kill me?

1. This dream came to deliver a message. Anytime you dream about someone trying to kill you, it is a spiritual message that has been delivered, and you have the responsibility to understand what it is saying.

2. Spiritually, dreaming about someone trying to kill you will come as a caution sign. For example, if you are about to make a wrong move, the universe will give you this scary dream to call your attention to the mistake.

3. Another reason for having this dream is because of your fear. The fear of rejection or failure in your heart can become a personality, which will haunt you in your dreams. Therefore, dreaming of someone trying to kill you has become consistent because of your inner fears.

Is this Dream a Warning Sign?

Yes, dreaming about someone trying to kill you is a warning sign that should never be taken for granted.

Now, all of the messages from this dream do not bring bad luck.

Some messages bring clarity, good luck, or instructions.

However, your first response to dreams such as this is caution.

Through this dream, the universe can warn you about several things that might be harmful in the long run (if care is not taken).

Should I worry about this Dream?

No, you don’t need to be worried about this dream.

Once you get the message from the dream, move on with your life.

Sometimes, you will have this dream because the universe wants to get your attention. Therefore, don’t worry about this dream after getting the message.
