Knife in a dream
Stands for aggression — physical or otherwise, but always destructive. It can represent a hopeless situation, or the action of the psychic penis in its lethal, destructive phase. In other cases it exposes the real underside of any phallic activity tied to the Oedipus complex — which, more than any other human activity, is the product of an alien program implanted through the mother figure.

What does knife mean in a dream?
In scientific dream interpretation, the knife is a semantic image: it carries its meaning through figurative correspondence. It stands for aggression — physical or otherwise, but always destructive. It can represent a hopeless situation, or the action of the psychic penis in its lethal, destructive phase. In other cases it exposes the real underside of any phallic activity tied to the Oedipus complex — which, more than any other human activity, is the product of an alien program implanted through the mother figure. For an accurate reading, weigh the dream's overall context, the images that accompany it, and the emotions felt while dreaming.
