I know that no one can really interpret dreams for you, it all matters what you think it means. Last night, I had a two part dream, and it left me with mixed emotions. I had a dream that I was in a very old house, kinda like one of those house that people turn into somewhat hotels. Anyhow, there were all of these people coming and going, and this one person, who I had never met before, said something that struck a chord, and I pulled out my pocket knife and stabbed them. After that I panicked. I took the body into the house, cut it up into little peices, and disposed of the body by dropping the pieces of in rivers and lakes ect. over a 40 mile radius. I had felt sick with guilt because of what I had done, I woke up, got a drink, assured myself that it was just a dream, went back to bed. In the second dream it was a few years down the road. I was revisiting the house/hotel where it all happened. I was trying to walk around like nothing happened, but I felt guilty and scared. after waking up the second time, I stayed awake. I know dreams usually represent something, so does anyone know what murder represents? Am I just watching to much crap on the tube?
I had a dream where I hauled off and hit an old lady with a pipe, I had gotten a strange inhuman vibe off of her, maybe it's just animalistic instincts resurfacing and being interpreted in the most rational way our brain can handle them that is what I thought it was anyway there are all sorts of things percolating under these "human" facades we hold so dear
I often dream that I kill people and I didn't know why. After a lot of thinking I seem to have figured it out for myself... at least to some extent. So I think that murders mean that you want to cease something unpleasant which is constantly troubling your life. After all you take someone's life away (in your dreams) so it must mean that you want to take something/someone out of your life. That may hurt some of the people around you and that's why you feel guilty. That explanation worked for me, I hope you it does so for you. Above all try to explain it using facts describing your present situation.
The possibility that your dream was influenced by television is very real. You may also be working through anger issues.
