Stabbing Dream Meaning

The dream can be frightening. Sometimes you can’t pick what storms come in for you. You can’t decide to go through storms, would you like to loose your legs, or have cancer. You can’t control the storm that comes in for you. When we are in control we feel safe. And, what binds together the dream of stabbing is is that we are out of control. Stabbing is where the control is not yours. This dream can show that sometimes we just have to look at stabbing in the dark is the best way to get through our storms in life.

The dream in which you are stabbed suggests that you are wounded through someone else's comments or complaints. A “stab in the back” indicates disloyalty, whereas a “stab in the dark” indicates a complete guess. Usually, this dream suggests definitive action associated with a few discomforts.

What is the spiritual meaning of the dream of stabbing?

I believe that everything happens for a reason. When we experience something painful, like being stabbed, it often leaves us wondering what is going on the next morning. This isn't just about physical pain or fear, but the storms we go through in life. In spiritual terms, being stabbed often points to betrayal or a deep emotional wound by someone close to you, this could be a Mother, Father, or lover. Everyone in our lives doesn't always act in the right way. This dream can relate to feeling hurt by someone. Just as a knife pierces the skin, the trauma from a person can hurt our inner peace. 

Imagine you're walking through a forest, and suddenly a rose bush cuts your leg. The first reaction is shock. But as you pause, you notice the beauty around you. The sunlight in the tree. The song of birds. The cut happened. The cut was unexpected. The cut was painful, yet it led you to be at peace in the surroundings. In life, being "stabbed" or hurt emotionally - can lead us to greater awareness of our surroundings and ask if this is really for us.

Every experience with strangers in life, positive or negative, results in our decisions on who someone really is.  I do feel this dream is about shifting timelines.

The dream about a knife indicates that you have more fights left in you. You can get over that storm, but you may also feel that you need some type of protection. If you are holding a knife in your dream, it means that you are trying to move away from a relationship and end it for your own sanity. If you find yourself being stabbed with a knife, this means it is time to realize that you have a number of enemies around you. Make sure that you can clearly move towards resolution with those enemies, or they could harm you in the future.
