The type of media content we consume can sometimes influence the narrative of our dreams. Having said that, your murder mystery dream speaks of your hidden yearning to get rid of a particularly unsavory aspect of yourself. The recurring side of this vision means that either you are unaware of this aspect of yourself or you are afraid of confronting your inner demons. The unrequited love angle as a resolution to the murder reveals suppressed feelings of neglect and rejection. Maybe some part of you wants some validation or affirmation from the people around you. Visions like these call for self-awareness and introspection to break certain cycles and resolve deep-seated personal issues.

Hearing about or witnessing a murder in your dream reflects your suspicious nature. You are not that easily fooled by other people's achievement or display of wealth. Alternatively, this vision could be a forewarning of becoming entangled in the affairs of others. Throughout this personal experience, it is required of you to remain impartial and hear out the different sides of the story. This also ties in with the strays that you see in your dream. The act of adopting them means that you may take certain lost individuals under your wings. Fortunately, this act of good will may also end up benefiting you, either in material benefits or spiritual satisfaction. Either way, this vision speaks a lot of your character when you choose to lend a helping hand despite your reserved and cautious nature.

Seeing a man in the role of someone's husband suggests you may want to get involved with someone romantically or deepen the loving bond you share with your current partner. This desire to improve the relationship possibly stems from a recent disagreement, as the man's behavior toward his wife in this dream indicates the presence of conflict or open confrontation. While your intentions are honorable, it would be wise to tread carefully lest things become stirred up again by acting too quickly.

Your dream revolves around symbols associated with restrictions and limitations. Are you perhaps feeling constrained in reality? Trying to open things without authority being pretense suggests nascent ideas that are likely not yet fully developed, hence implementing them would be impractical. Or it could also be referring to your skills and potential which you need to hone further, so you can perform at full capacity. In relation to this untapped potential, getting locked inside the house reflects repressed aspects of yourself or the lack of awareness of another side of yourself that needs to be freed or expressed. This side that may be unknown to you could be the secret to realizing your full potential. In order to do this, to be fully self-aware, you need to kill or overcome the serial killer which represents your fears and insecurities.

The chaos at the beginning of the dream, the armed mafia and their attack on the police, represents the uncertainty of your future and serves as a reminder of the fragility of your circumstances. Getting a gun and attacking these ruffians, then, can be interpreted as the manifestation of your power to deal with this situation. You should draw on all your experience, knowledge and wits to overcome this potential challenge.

This dream of hanging out on a bed with your cousin and his girlfriend suggests that you are comfortable in your own skin. This also means that you keep a small and close-knit circle of family and friends. Perhaps it takes time for you to warm up to other people or make new friends. This kind of attitude may be misinterpreted by others as being cold and aloof. The Arab girl represents strangers and individuals outside your social circle. Unbeknownst to you, some personalities may be harboring resentment and anger towards you. A machine gun is a heavy weapon and could cause serious damage, which equates with tremendous anger directed your way. Family and friends may try to defend you, but in the end you have to learn to take some hits and adjust to the expectations of others, even if their opinions are false.

Babies are usually a positive image associated with good things happening in your life. However, killing babies and trying to profit from selling their organs or body parts suggests you are sabotaging yourself by trying to get ahead through unfair or illegal means. If you give up your bad habits and do things properly, you may be able to get ahead faster and with fewer moral qualms.

This dream imagery of someone murdering a baby and then attempting to commit suicide points to a shameful act or indiscretion, committed either by you or someone you know very well. For good or bad reasons, this matter remains concealed and kept secret, but your subconscious mind is telling you to come clean and admit the wrongdoing and confess to those who may be affected. Observing someone washing dishes is a hint that you can obtain peace of mind and emotional stability if you quickly act on what may have happened and let the truth prevail.

Dreaming about your "dream family" being attacked and killed by mysterious individuals is a highly ominous sign for your upcoming nuptials. It portends serious disagreements or discord between you, your future husband, and possibly your future children. The ghoulish nature of the attackers could suggest that the cause of your troubles is related to unclear, misinterpreted messages. The solution, then, is to encourage an atmosphere of open communication to avoid such a situation.

Dreaming about being at the hospital with your significant other is often thought to signify the presence of some hidden information about this person that, if unearthed, could change the way you perceive them, usually in a negative light. His shooting at the four people within the shower area indicates he may be more careless than you originally thought or tends to act out when something is not going the way he wants, suggesting you may already see such habits manifesting within him. Being in the shower area could also represent some feelings of guilt, although whether it is your guilt for not being able to help him or his guilt for behaving in such a way is unclear. It may be wise, as in your vision, to disarm him through gentle coaxing and conversation, so that he has a safe outlet to express his feelings and grow past them.

Killing someone in a dream vision is often not about the actual act of murder, rather it signifies your desire to end a certain type of behavior or feeling within yourself. In this case, multiple killings over the course of re-occurring visions may also be influenced by the recent media coverage of such carnage, especially if your visions did not possess any rhyme or reason for the deaths. The nature of your dream, then, suggests you are actually a peaceful person who desires to see the end of violence and the growth of understanding among all people.

Dreaming about being unable to leave a large building or complex because you do not have the key is a symbol often associated with negative feelings about the way your life is currently playing out. You may be highly dissatisfied with some aspects, particularly certain relationships which tend to bring you down or bore you. This is followed by your admitting that the key is the only way to leave, suggesting you know how to fix this situation, but are unwilling to admit it to yourself or others for fear of rejection or admonishment. However, the murderous mad man is very telling, showing your true feelings about this situation. His chasing you is the manifestation of your desire to avoid or remove a certain individual from your life despite how others feel about them. You should not worry about your family or friend's reaction to the news that you want to split. If never seeing this individual again would make you happy, you should go ahead and cut them out of your life.

Envisioning the murder of those you swore to protect is an ominous symbol associated with witnessing terrible acts in wake life and being unable to do anything to help despite your desire to do so. Maybe you are passionate about social justice or are simply tired of all the hate and mistreatment you see happening around you. This vision is the manifestation of you feeling powerless or ready to give up in these situations. Dreaming about killing the murderer represents the potential action you need to take to make change happen. However, the police paying you a visit in the end of the vision could be interpreted as a warning that, no matter what you choose to do, you should always act in love and kindness, not in anger or violence.

This vision of a mother and daughter being kidnapped and murdered is highly ominous and should be regarded carefully. Family deaths, especially via murder, represent trouble and decline for you and those you love. In some cases, it represents dealing with a single act against you, such as being mugged or becoming the victim in a car accident, and sometimes it signifies more gradual issues, like getting involved with the wrong crowd. In either situation, the fact that a sword was the murder weapon shows that whatever happens it may have an extremely negative impact on your relationship with other family members. You may have great difficulty overcoming these challenges and getting back to where you were before the incident occurred.

Living in fear of men who are terrorizing your neighborhood is an ill omen to experience in a dream vision. It often predicts becoming the victim of someone or a group of people who are out to deceive you, possibly by offering you an opportunity that seems too good to be true. This is also supported by the image of the monkey suits, a symbol associated with health problems or a decline in well-being. Should this person or these people succeed in taking what they want, your stress and worry could cause some serious difficulties which may even require medical attention.

Seeing other people being burned alive in dreams usually mean being consumed by ambition. The homeless man in your dream represents humility. As such, his burning in the oven alludes to a failure in appreciating what you already have due to a need to have more or achieve more. This single-minded focus on your goals could lead to damaging your relationships with friends and family. This dream vision is a warning against losing yourself and all the things that matter in the course of chasing worldly pursuits.

Babies in dreams generally carry positive messages such as new ideas, hope and opportunities. However, within the context of your dream, the baby could represent being young and carefree, which means killing the baby actually points to your decision to be more mature and accepting of adult responsibilities. Killing the baby is not a bad omen, instead it shows your resolve to commit yourself to being a grown-up in order for you and your partner to move forward with your relationship. Instead of placing the burden of attending to adult matters on the shoulders of your partner, you recognize the need for you to start pulling your own weight when it comes to day-to-day decisions.

Killing someone in a dream often alludes to your determination to tackle a problem or obstacle causing you difficulty. However, running away afterwards could predict that your strength alone is not enough to overcome this situation, which also explains the presence of a girlfriend. Your mind is trying to conjure up the image of someone who could support you and give you the strength you need to take care of this issue once and for all.

These visions contain two main symbolic connotations which could be pointing out your desensitizing perception of human suffering and pain you could be exposed to through media or even happening in the area where you live. Being in a castle high up on the mountain can be attributed to your psychological state of being overwhelmed and bewildered by the avalanche of tragedies involving deaths you could recently be witnessing or learning about. The bodies being transported down the mountain and stacked in a cave could also signify that you are slowly accumulating a lot of negativity and frustration and subconsciously want to lock them away, at least for the time being before they fade out and disappear from your memory.

A dream characterized by violent behavior usually reveals rage and similar negative emotions piling up inside of you. Committing mass murder, in this case your family, is a cathartic way for your subconscious to purge the aggression and anger you may be suppressing in the waking world. These feelings are manifesting themselves as part of your dream because of stress and unhappiness. Perhaps you want to become independent and break away from the suffocating presence of your family. Maybe your parents have become too controlling and you just want to forge you own path in the world.

You may still be reeling from the tragic circumstances in the waking world and your subconscious is trying to make sense of all the information you absorbed while awake. Both dreams reveal your lack of trust and negative attitude toward your stepmom and your uncle. The first dream of your father dying over and over, while your stepmom just stood by without helping, speaks of your impression that your stepmom did not care too much about your father. Meanwhile, the second dream about the murder plotted by your stepmom and uncle is basically your subconscious mind creating a full narrative of what you may have been assuming all the while, maybe in a growing progression. The scenarios do not necessarily mean that these suspicions are true. Those are your own hypotheses and biases coming into play. Whether or not your doubts are based on solid evidence depends on pieces of factual information you may have come across in the real world.

These images in your dream speak of the betrayal and turmoil you felt and still feel about your brother's death. Being killed by his best friend is the ultimate level of betrayal there is and you dreaming about it repeatedly suggest that your anger towards the perpetrator is not diminishing with time. Your subconscious mind can be compared to your house, where you feel safe and protected, but seeing the killer inside signifies that you cannot escape the thoughts about the murderer. In your dream everyone reminded you that it is alright and yet you keep fighting it, which is equivalent to your constant attempts to find closure.

In general, witnessing someone commit a crime in the dream world predicts the possibility of being subjected to judgment and scrutiny. You may be blamed for the misfortune of others due to some of your past or recent actions or decisions. This may be related to your work or even a personal undertaking. The thing is, while you may not be directly to blame, perhaps you were complicit to the mistakes committed, as illustrated in the dream. If it is work-related, you could be privy to unethical practices by colleagues, yet loyalty or perhaps personal gain prevented you from calling them out.

Dreaming about a TV series likely means that certain qualities of the show resonate with you. Even without seeing it, you must have heard about the power plays and violent content enough for your subconscious to absorb them. As such, the scenario of breaking into classrooms to find individuals you have encountered throughout your life probably means that you are about to learn an important lesson which is connected to your past experiences. Perhaps you feel like no one listens to you or trusts in your abilities to succeed. As such, the act of stabbing them in the head with a pencil alludes to an opportunity for you to take action and prove them wrong.

Having supernatural abilities in the dream world often suggests being rewarded for your efforts in waking life. You may have worked hard at a particular skill or in a certain area of your life and are finally seeing the fruits of your labor. Killing innocent people with these powers, however, suggests you may let your ego get too inflated after all this recognition. In a sense, your good work ethic could be replaced by pride and vanity, leading you to hurt or criticize others unfairly.

Murdering someone in a dream has negative connotations. It suggests that you would get involved in untoward activities which may bring shame and destruction upon you. Committing murder because of someone else indicates that these mishaps are likely the result of blindly following someone or allowing them to take over your life. You should try to avoid such malicious individuals and instead focus on the people who want the very best for you.

Witnessing the murder of your family in the dream world could mean the possibility of experiencing problems in your household. Perhaps you are partly the reason for any conflict or tension brewing within your family. The act of murder is likely a projection of dissatisfaction or displeasure regarding your family's values or behavior. You could have differences of opinion which could cause a rift among the family members, hence be careful in defending your beliefs at the risk of antagonizing others. Conversely, your loved ones may need to practice prudence and respect about differing perspectives.

Dreaming about fighting with your husband because you think he is unfaithful symbolizes that you are unsatisfied with the way things are in your waking life. The notion of both of you being killed by someone is an indication that the problems which you have in your marital life might pose a threat to your well-being as well as that of your husband. It would be helpful to resolve any issues which you are facing to avoid further difficulties in your marriage.

Dreaming about murdering unsuspecting friends or relatives has negative connotations. It signifies that you may face trying circumstances in your wake life. These could be associated with quarrels and miscommunication with your loved ones. Since this is a recurring dream, it can also be connected with what you feel subconsciously. Perhaps you think that you are being misunderstood and people are not making an effort to get to know you better. In turn, this angers you a great deal and you feel strongly about eliminating all those who misinterpret you and your true intentions.

Dreaming about your sister crying in the dark signifies the empathy that you feel for her in waking life. She could be going through difficult times and this has manifested in your dream. The unknown stranger symbolizes the presence of a malicious individual in your lives who is trying to create problems for both you and your sister. This person would try to malign your sister's name and spread false rumors about her. The gun shot that you heard could represent the slander which would eventually become the reason of your sister's ruin. The best thing would be to remain wary of people who are out to betray you and your loved ones. Focus on keeping yourself safe and eventually this hard time would pass.

Dreaming of a fictional serial killer means you may be trying to rid yourself of some negative emotions. There may be aspects of your personality which you want to let go of because they are preventing you from achieving your full potential. This may also be an allusion to your self-destructive habits and tendencies. You could be afraid of being a danger to yourself because of your lack of discipline and self-control. Maybe it is time to confront your shadows and start to become a better version of who you are.

To see or witness a murder in a dream alludes to a great deal of sadness and uncertainty you are destined to experience. There may be individuals in your social circle who are spreading malicious rumors about you or trying to bully you. Alternatively, the imagery of murders and torture also points to a possible accident or illness. You, or someone you know closely could get involved in an accident, a dispute or experience a serious illness. Perhaps this dream recurs whenever your defense system is particularly vulnerable or you are feeling stressed about what is happening around you or to your loved ones.

Although your vision is very graphic, dreaming about fatally shooting someone is often considered a positive sign. It could mean that your goals or long-time aspirations are close to being realized and that you would soon have a chance to finally reap the rewards of all your hard work. Death is synonymous with great change and for you it could be a positive one, something that would significantly increase your happiness and well-being. The fact that this individual was your former principal could reveal the fears and insecurities you felt at that time. As such, erasing this authority figure grants you the freedom to fully enjoy your life. Your lack of concern when pulling the trigger suggests you are determined to become stronger and happier that you were before.

Dreaming about covering up for a child's death could mean that the well-being of someone close to you, either emotionally or by family ties, is being threatened and so you are subconsciously preparing yourself for the worst to happen. Since you mentioned a familiar landscape in your dream, it could mean that what you are experiencing at the moment is probably a problem you have faced for awhile now and that it is probably continuing to have a deep spiritual impact in your life, hence the image of the monk and temple seen in the dream.

Your dream seems to mirror the anxiety you might be feeling over recent events involving acts of terrorism and how you feel they might impact your life. It could also reveal the fact that you do not agree with some of the school policies or you could be having some existing or developing conflict with a colleague or a superior, and so you subconsciously merge the two issues together as equally bad when both of these things could lead you or people around you to suffer. Since you were the person designated to clean up the mess, it also means you are sensing some sort of added responsibility. Perhaps you should think about the aspects at workplace which make you uncomfortable and why you would equate them with radical fundamentalism.

Killing someone in a dream is often thought to be the manifestation of your determination to tackle a challenge or obstacle that is currently causing you difficulty. Burying the body is also a favorable sign that suggests all your frustrations and negative feelings related to this problem would disappear soon, giving you a chance to rejoice and start living a much happier life. Your constant return to the grave, however, could mean you may become suspicious of happiness and contentment and would not fully be able to enjoy this time due to your lack of faith.

Being threatened by a killer or murderer in a dream is generally associated with a characteristic or aspect of yourself which you want to get rid of or eliminate. In the context of your vision, the murder that occurred inside the apartment of your boyfriend's mother could mean that you may dislike certain qualities of his mom. Perhaps you feel like she does not approve of you, so much so that you seem to have noticed certain changes in yourself and your behavior in order to get her approval. Your boyfriend may be defending you from his mom, but her authority and influence over him may threaten your bond. Maybe getting to know his mom better would help relieve some tension between the two of you. Spending more time with her and understanding where she is coming from may change your dynamics. In doing so, she would also get to know you a bit better and she would see the qualities that attracted her son to you.

Being pursued by a murderer or killer in a dream alludes to the loss of identity. In the context of your dream, the murderer who brainwashed your friend may represent an influential figure in your social circle who may be turning your friend into someone you do not recognize anymore. When your brainwashed friend started coming after you in your vision, it means your friend likely trusts the manipulative individual more than you. Perhaps he is encouraging you to embrace a new persona, in the same way that he was convinced to let go of his old ways. Fortunately, gathering weapons and allies point to your firm resolve in sticking to your beliefs and values. You may need to remain resolute and counter the influence of this cunning personality who is controlling the actions and beliefs of your friend.

Witnessing a murder scene in a dream reveals your own pent up anger or resentment towards someone or some people present in your waking life. Trying to hide under a crib could mean that your actions or intentions may have been considered immature or even foolish by this person who provoked these feelings in you. Your position close to the floor level also symbolizes your current state of mind when you are trying to regroup and come up with ways to calm yourself down and resolve this situation by improving the relationship with whomever you think had wronged you.

Being chased by a murderer or killer in your dream likely portends an identity crisis. The person who was killed symbolizes an aspect of your personality which you have lost or has been suppressed. Perhaps you do not feel like yourself lately. This may be due to peer pressure or some other factors affecting your emotions, thoughts and actions. It is also possible that you are the one suppressing this characteristic in order to fit in and the evidence of the murder is what would give you away. Despite personal or external pressures, you may still feel the need to hold on to the evidence so you do not forget who you really are. Furthermore, the water refers to your consciousness and swimming as far out as you can to hide the evidence is another reference to suppression. Either you want to bury this part of yourself in the deep recesses of your mind so you can commit yourself to this personal transformation, or it could also mean that you honestly do not want to change so you are doing your best to preserve your authentic self. Positive change can only come from letting go of negative traits and recognizing your own weaknesses for self-improvement instead of allowing others to dictate your thoughts and actions.

Committing cold-blooded murder is an ominous symbol in dreams. It means that you may end up participating or getting involved in illicit or questionable activities in the waking world. This could seriously tarnish your reputation and close the doors of opportunities you may have been trying to seize. Alternatively, the murder could also symbolize cleansing and transformation. The individuals you picked out in the dream may represent aspects of yourself which you want to get rid of. Killing them represents purging yourself of those bad habits or negative characteristics. Furthermore, the sexual intercourse that occurred prior to the killing could indicate that you would need to acknowledge those flaws before you can improve or become a better version of yourself.

Starting at the beginning of the vision, dreaming about keeping someone's murder a secret could mean that the well-being of someone close to you, either emotionally or by family ties, is being threatened. You may be subconsciously preparing yourself for the worst to happen. In these difficult times, you probably feel less than excited or enthusiastic about life, which is also seen in the image of the hotel you later visited. This is also connected with your use of magic in this vision, a symbol commonly thought to be the manifestation of a personal desire to escape into a fantasy world to avoid the problems present in reality. This escapist attitude signifies that you would rather focus on what things could have been like instead of trying to take them in stride. The end of this vision contains a warning, however, and should be taken seriously. Dreaming of kissing a stranger suggests that your tendency to avoid tackling any developing issues may lead to long-term negative effects in your life that you might regret later on.
