Dreaming about being threatened with a knife
What does it mean to dream somebody threatens you with a knife?
The straightforward half of this record, and it behaves like the rest of the threat material: the dream is about the moment before, and it frequently ends in waking.
Injury is rarely reported. What dreamers describe is proximity and anticipation, in the same way the snake reports do, and several report never seeing the blade clearly at all.
Where a dreamer has experienced real violence these are not ordinary dreams and should not be read with the rest of this entry. They belong with the trauma material, and repeated distressing versions are worth taking to somebody qualified rather than working on alone with a journal.
Where this reads well
None to offer beyond the observation that the absence of injury is typical and can be expected.
Where it is harder
For anybody with a real assault behind them this page does not apply, and saying so is more useful than any reading.
Worth asking yourself
Did I see it clearly? Did anything actually happen? Do I have a real experience behind this?
Dream interpretation is subjective. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prediction, or medical advice.
